The How Not To Cookbook- lessons learned the hard way is a limited edition book and art project by Aleksandra Mir that invites 1000 contributors from all around the world to give their advice on how not to cook. While the typical cookbook format gives you a recipe for obvious success it does not take into account the many ways in which its execution can fail.

Contribute: We are seeking submissions of your failures in the kitchen. If your submission is included you will receive a free limited edition copy of The How not to Cookbook- lessons learned the hard way - a treasure for your kitchen!

To read more about the project and submit a contribution, visit hownottocook.co.uk.

Last day for submissions is Friday 1 May.
