Exchange Media Group is offering Middle Tennessee residents a rare opportunity to share their culinary history with a massive audience. By submitting recipes through the Southern Aprons platform, local families can see their cherished dishes featured in 84,000 homes throughout the region.
The project is part of the annual Exchange Holiday Cookbook, a community tradition that has been connecting kitchens since 1988. Each year, the publication features over 300 local recipes, offering a glimpse into the diverse traditions that define the region. From secret family desserts to savory main courses, the cookbook aims to transform private kitchen favorites into a public celebration of local flavor.
To secure a spot in this year’s distribution, contributors are encouraged to visit the Southern Aprons website. This platform acts as the sole collection point for recipes and the steps that make them meaningful. Once submitted, these entries are curated by Exchange Media Group for inclusion in the high-quality digital and print editions that find a permanent home in residences across the area.

With a distribution of 84,000 copies, the Exchange Holiday Cookbook provides an unmatched level of visibility for local cooks. It is more than just a collection of ingredients; it is a time-honored keepsake that allows families to preserve their legacy while contributing to a shared community resource.
All recipe submissions must be original and include clear, step-by-step instructions. By partnering with Exchange Media Group, local residents can ensure their family’s best dishes are enjoyed by tens of thousands of their neighbors this holiday season.
