ALPENA — Many of us have spent our days during the pandemic and quarantine discovering new recipes and experimenting with different types of food.

The Alpena County Library staff is no exception.They are excited to share their recipes with the community and invite you to do the same with the Community Comfort Food Project.

The library is putting together a quarantine e-cookbook and they are asking our community to contribute. Share the recipes that you tried and relied on that brought you joy during the hectic, dreary, and scary times of quarantine.

Was there an amazing quarantine cocktail you invented? Share it. Did you finally master handmade pasta or sourdough bread? Brag about it in this cookbook.

The library is using BakeSpace.com to create the community-driven Alpena County Public Library Community Comfort Food Project. Simply navigate to the ACL Cookbook on BakeSpace and enter your recipe.

To link directly, visit: http://www.bakespace.com/recipes/groupsubmit/1242820415 or visit the link through the library’s website.

Please enter your recipes by Thursday, April 1. The e-cookbook will be published on Monday, May 4 and you’ll be able to see what everyone else has submitted to the one-of-kind cookbook. Contributors will be notified by email when the library publishes the cookbook. Happy cooking!
