Fish, Flesh and Fowl

Compiled by the Ladies of the State Street Parish

Portland, Maine • 1877

Our first episode! On today's podcast we’re talking about "Fish, Flesh and Fowl," the very first community cookbook from Maine, published in 1877 by the Ladies of the State Street Parish in Portland. We’re joined by current members of the State Street Church, Camy Barrantes and Jane Lindquist, and we share the results from cooking a few of the recipes from the book: Bannock, Cabbage Salad, and Queen of Puddings.

In this first episode also we discuss the three basic pillars of a community cookbook: A defined community, the recipes come from that community, and a charitable cause. We also talk about the history of recipe writing and formatting and some of the considerations that would have gone into the creation of a community cookbook.

Special thanks to our guests Camy Barrantes and Jane Lindquist, current members of the State Street Church in Portland, Maine. For more information about the State Street Church, visit https://statestreetchurch.org
