Exchange Media Group is inviting residents of local communities to transform their private kitchen traditions into lasting regional history. Local home cooks have the unique opportunity to turn their family’s favorite recipes into lasting local legacies by being featured in the annual Exchange Holiday Cookbook.
Since 1988, the Exchange Holiday Cookbook has served as a cultural time capsule for Middle Tennessee. The publication’s enduring value comes from the hundreds of personal recipes submitted by neighbors over the years. By submitting a dish to Southern Aprons, contributors ensure that their culinary heritage — whether it is a grandmother’s sourdough starter or a unique holiday brisket — is preserved and shared with a broad audience of fellow food enthusiasts.
To participate in this legacy-building project, residents must visit the Southern Aprons website to upload their original recipes. The submission process encourages cooks to include the history and stories behind their food, adding a personal touch to the final publication. These entries are meticulously curated by Fayetteville-based Exchange Media Group and distributed to 84,000 homes, ensuring these family traditions are celebrated by tens of thousands of readers.
Becoming a part of this collection allows local cooks to see their names and traditions honored in a high-quality format that many families keep for years. It is an invitation to contribute to the collective flavor of the region while cementing a place in a cherished community tradition.
All submissions must be original and provide detailed ingredient lists and instructions to help neighbors successfully recreate the magic at home. As the holiday season approaches, Exchange Media Group remains dedicated to celebrating the people and the plates that make the Tennessee Valley home.
