#1 Food for the Gods (A)

*Please, note there has been a change on paper size on this swap so more people can join in the fun. European and USA copy paper does not come in the same standered size so we are compromising and going with 28x21cm. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I love food and learning about the different God and Goddess around the world so I thought it would be fun to make a cookbook of recipes related to different Gods and Goddess. I am doing a swap similar to this in another group but only for Greek and Roman Gods. For this swap choose one God or Goddess from any where in the world whose name starts with the letter “A” and find a recipe that uses one of the foods that they are associated with. (This includes herbs and spices) Put the recipe and a few lines about the deity that you have chosen on an 28x21 cm piece of paper and decorate the sheet in a way that would be pleasing to look at. An example would be an apple tart for Aphrodite with the sheet decorated with apple blossoms and sea shells or an illustration of the Goddess Aphrodite in all her glory. Be creative and have fun with the art. This can be done on the computer or by hand. The recipe does not have to be of your creation but please tell where or who you got the recipe from. Make it a food you would want to try. Have fun, be creative and make your partner smile. I hope for this to be the start of a series of recipes. Also I have given all of us plenty of time to do this swap due to the holidays.

Requirements:

1. Pick a God or Goddess whose name starts with the letter “A” and find a food that is associated with them.
2. Find a recipe that use that food as one of its ingredients ( don’t for get to give credit where credit is due)
3. Put a few lines about your God or Goddess, the food ingredient that relates to them and the recipe on a 28x21 cm sheet of paper
4. Decorate the paper in a way that relates to your deity
5. Put the name of the swap and your swap name on the back of your swap or on a separate note so your partner knows who to rate.

Ways to step up a notch but not a requirement:

You may want to make the recipe be of the same ethnic origin as the Deity you have chosen

Find a recipe that can be used or was used in a magical manner or Holiday

Don’t forget to rate. It is such a nice way to say thank you to your partner for all their efforts.
