"Sandra J. Taylor" news and stories

I really, really like community cookbooks. I like knowing what people are cooking in their homes and finding out what they see as their best or most crowd-friendly recipes. Sandra J. Taylor shares my love of community cookbooks and had taken the time to search, scan and study more than 100 of them published by small towns, churches, museums, historical societies, and civic organizations from across New England. She narrowed the field down to the 400 best recipes and those are what went into Hometown Cooking in New England.

I don't a copy of this book in my collection, although given my love of the community cookbook, it is now on my list of wants. However, here is a choice list of recipe names that the book contains: Quilter's Potato Salad, Poppy Seed and Maple Syrup Bread, The Reverend Hall's Clam Chowder, Apple and Walnut Scones, Yankee Pot Roast, Maple Baked Beans, Scalloped Oysters, Wellesley Fudge Cake, Beacon Hill Cookies, and Mother Shaw's Baking Powder Biscuits.

Anyone out there have a favorite community cookbook?
