In most, you not only get an impressive collection of recipes, you also get a glimpse into the lives of the people who make their books not only tun to cook from but fun to read as well. What sets them apart from mass-produced culinary tomes is their hometown charm and history. Part of the fun of community cookbooks is that you would be hard-pressed to find most of them in bookstores many have to be ordered directly from the source. Along the way, these cookbooks also became an important source of revenue for nonprofit organizations, family reunions and other social events. What often began as crudely fashioned collections intended to keep the memory and traditions of family cuisine alive expanded to include recipes shared by neighbors, friends, and members of church groups and civic organizations. That tradition of sharing recipes orally evolved into the swapping of recipe cards, and then, community cookbooks. The recipes we grew to know and love were passed down through the generations, rarely written down and often improvised and adapted over the years.
