What’s cookin, good lookin? Furman University is celebrating it’s bicentennial (aka 200 years) next year, and to celebrate, Furman’s First Gentleman Charles Davis wants your recipes for a cookbook.

“In the Kitchen with Furman: Celebrating 200 Years” will be made up of recipes + stories from “faculty, staff, students, and friends of the university.” This will be the second cookbook Davis has helped create since 2014.

“Whether it’s gram’s special cinnamon rolls, dad’s barbecued ribs, or your own tasty broccoli salad, we want you to share it with your Furman family,” Davis says. He also asks you to consider sharing a brief story of how the dish became a family favorite.

Submit your recipes for a chance to be included. Submissions don’t guarantee entry. Don’t tell grandma.
