Janet Theophano concluded that 鈥渁 cookbook is a communal affair,鈥� even when the product of a single author. Community and church cookbooks, often called fundraising cookbooks, further embody this truth, embracing the communal practice of recipe creation and curation that is eventually captured within a book鈥檚 covers. These books are collaboratively created with contributions of recipes and content by members of the congregation. Common in the 19th century and even to this day, community cookbooks are often locally produced collections of recipes contributed by members of a church or school group. These are often very low-budget productions, with 20th-century examples often being spiral-bound, photo-copied, self-illustrated or even hand-written and copied. Eventually, some publishing houses specialized in printing and producing these cookbooks, such as Morris Press (Nebraska), Rasmussen Gateway Press in Manitoba.
Accessible during opening hours.

Une communaut茅 de saveurs :聽Livres de recettes congr茅ganistes et paroissiaux
Janet Theophano affirme que m锚me lorsqu鈥檌l est le fruit d鈥檜n seul auteur, 芦 un livre de recettes est une affaire de communaut茅 禄. Historiquement, les livres de recettes congr茅ganistes et paroissiaux, souvent destin茅s 脿 recueillir des fonds, repr茅sentent bien cette id茅e d鈥檜ne pratique communautaire de cr茅ation et de s茅lection de recettes dans le but de les consigner sous les couvertures d鈥檜n livre. De tels ouvrages prennent ainsi vie gr芒ce 脿 la contribution des divers membres d鈥檜ne collectivit茅. Populaire au XIXe si猫cle, et m锚me encore aujourd鈥檋ui, le livre de cuisine communautaire 茅tait g茅n茅ralement constitu茅 d鈥檜ne collection de recettes locales que des membres d鈥檜ne 茅glise ou d鈥檜ne 茅cole choisissaient de partager. Il s鈥檃gissait souvent de productions 脿 tr猫s petit budget, certains exemples du si猫cle dernier 茅tant souvent reli茅s spirale, photocopi茅s et illustr茅s par leurs auteurs ou m锚me parfois manuscrits et retranscrits 脿 la main. Ces 艙uvres ont n茅anmoins attir茅 l鈥檃ttention de certaines maisons d鈥櫭ヾition sp茅cialis茅es, comme Morris Press au Nebraska et Rasmussen Gateway Press au Manitoba.
Accessible durant les heures d鈥檕uverture.
