Include name, address and telephone number, even though you might want only your initials used, so that recipes and requests that are unclear may be checked for accuracy. Letters without this will not be considered for publication, nor will recipes that do not answer a specific request.
Requests take four to six weeks to be published, depending on volume of mail.
For recipes, state whether you have tried the dish. Include oven temperature and approximate baking time, or a way to test for doneness. If cans or packages of ingredients are used, state size or number of cups. Include number of servings, if possible. Recipes will not be taken or read over the telephone.
