OMAHA, Neb. – February 27, 2009 — Most people are unaware that dairy supplies nine essential nutrients, and Roberts Dairy Milk offers more nutrition for your dollar than virtually any other beverage you can buy. Roberts Dairy offers the authentic Roberts Cookbook online at www.robertsdairy.com, supplying over 1,250 free recipes to make tasty meals using dairy products. The authentic Roberts Cookbook offers unique, delicious ways to get your three servings a day of dairy.

The authentic Roberts Cookbook, was originally published in 1974. During the several years the cookbook was available for purchase, nearly 25,000 copies were sold. The cookbook offered a collection of 1,250 recipes which were compiled, tested and edited in the Roberts Dairy Test Kitchen by Roberts’ Home Economist Anne Richards. The recipes were generated not only for the experienced chef in mind, but for the novice cook as well.

Since the Roberts Cookbook is still in high demand, and no longer being printed, Roberts Dairy wanted another way to offer the cookbook content to its customers – for free. The solution was to list all 1,250 recipes online at www.robertsdairy.com/cookbook. Visitors can not only view recipes, they can give the recipes they’ve tried a rating, e-mail favorites to family and friends and save them using Internet social bookmarks such as Digg, Delicious and Facebook.

The online cookbook offers everything you need to plan your meals so you can go to the grocery store with a list to stay on budget. You’ll find appetizers and easy soups, salads and sandwiches, along with side dishes and main courses. And, of course, you can’t forget the delicious deserts – best served with a tall glass of Roberts Dairy Milk. Make sure to check out the authentic Roberts Cookbook during Lent for several delectable fish entrees such as tuna casserole (see recipe below).
