Maine Community Cookbook: 200 More Recipes Celebrating Home Cooking in the Pine Tree State

Building on the success of the award-winning Maine Bicentennial Community Cookbook, this second volume is a new collection of more than 200 family recipes, stories, and photos. The Maine Community Cookbook is filled with dishes and stories from home kitchens in all sixteen Maine counties, including recipes from Mainers such as former senator Olympia Snowe, historian Heather Cox Richardson, 101-year-old lobsterwoman Virginia Oliver, and James Beard Award-winning Chef Sam Hayward. At the heart of the cookbook are recipes and stories from everyday Maine families. Breaking bread together gives us comfort and strength, in good times and bad. Whether we’re teaching our kids to cook family recipes over Zoom, or gathering together to share them at the table, our food traditions help define who we are, and bring us together as a community. Authors: Margaret Hathaway and Karl Schatz. Paperback; 304 pages.
