Cooking With Col. Potter!

In the Fall of 2007, several wonderful volunteers of Col. Potter published a recipe, story and love filled cookbook through the Morris Press Cookbook Company of Nebraska, “Your Culinary Companion – Volume II – A Cookbook for Cairn Terrier Lovers and Friends”. Morris Press is a printing establishment that specializes exclusively in cookbook publishing.

In August of 2008, Col. Potter entered their published cookbook contest, along with 482 other cookbook entries (there were over 800 cookbooks published by Morris Press in 2007/2008, and 482 of those entered the contest). Out of those 482 entries, 10 books were selected by a panel within Morris Press to be formal entries in the contest. We were one of the top 10!

Out of those 10 books, three top prizes were awarded, First, Second and Third Place. After much finger and paw crossing, and a few silent prayers, in January 2009 our cookbook editor, Amy R., was contacted by Morris with the WONDERFUL news that our book was awarded THIRD PLACE in this contest. We were given a wonderful letter, some promotional press releases, a link on their web site and a CHECK for $1000 for Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network.

It is with much pride and joy that the remaining books will be adorned with a WINNER medallion so that each new owner of one of our books will KNOW what the publication of this book means to our rescued Cairn Terriers. To date, nearly 900 books have been sold.

You can order the book through the link above OR you can go to the Col. Potter Mall to order one for yourself or for a friend. (We ship directly to your door, or to the door of a gift recipient with a gift card). There aren’t many left in our inventory; if you are interested in an award winning cookbook you better order FAST!
