Changing Face of Community Cookbooks
Midtown Magazine of Raleigh, NC, wrote a great article on "The Changing Face of Community Cookbooks" and it features two of FRP's clients and their books.
1.) The Junior League of Raleigh's You're Invited
2.) Ravenscroft School's Excellent Courses
The article points out that a book like Excellent Courses both preserves the school's legacy and traditions and raises funds in a meaningful manner.
The article also makes a good point that community cookbooks are "snapshots" of local communities. They are user-friendly, with recipes that range from easy to more elaborate.
What's significant is that community cookbooks have become refined collections of local culinary cultures, thanks to publishers like Favorite Recipes Press, who helps community groups create cookbooks that are very professional and legit because they are created through a rigorous process of recipe selection and testing, creative design, manufacturing, etc.
Favorite Recipes Press has a distribution division too, which is called The Cookbook Marketplace and is loaded with community cookbooks. There are monthly deals and discounts too: check it out!
