On this bonus episode of the podcast, we're continuing our conversation from Episode 5: Out in the Kitchen: A Cookbook for those with Non-Discriminating Taste compiled in 1995 by Maine Won't Discriminate, a political coalition based in Portland, Maine. The cookbook was raising money to fight an anti-gay rights referendum that was on the ballot in Maine in the mid-1990s.  The cookbook was compiled in Portland, but it was printed and published by a specialty cookbook publisher, Cookbook Publishers, inc., based in Lenexa, Kansas. We ran out of time in the last episode to include our conversation about the development of Midwestern specialty community cookbook publishers that took place in the second half of 1900's. We wanted to share some of that conversation with you today.We also talk about a community cookbook recently shared with us by a friend: Tasteful Treasures, a collection of recipes by the Clark F. Miller School of Radiologic Technology at Central Maine Medical Center, Class of 2010. This community cookbook was also compiled in Maine, but printed by Morris Press Cookbooks in Kearney, Nebraska.For the recipes from today's episode, visit: https://communitycookbook.com/recipesTo see images from today's cookbook and photos of the food we made, visit our Instagram feed or Facebook page.https://www.instagram.com/communitycookbookpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/communitycookbookpodcast---------------------------------Hosts: Margaret Hathaway, Karl Schatz, & Don LindgrenProduced by Karl Schatz & Margaret HathawayEdited by Karl SchatzPodcast theme music & break music by Ziv Grinberg.Recorded on Riverside.
