COOKING ON THE COAST Library cookbook showcases Powell River’s food history The diversity of the food cooked and eaten in Powell River is as varied as the people who call it home. As a coastal community founded on the pulp and paper industry, many people from around the world moved to the area and brought their culinary traditions with them. These traditions, along with stories and recipes of life on the Upper Sunshine Coast, are captured in the pages of Water and Wood: Recipes from a Coastal Community, a fundraiser cookbook for Powell River Public Library. Water and Wood is based on the history and landscape of the many communities that call the region home. “There’s never been a cookbook

like this in Powell River,” says library board trustee Charlotte Gill. “It’s equal parts food, geography, history and the story of us, the people who live here. Because all of these define culinary culture.” Gill helped plant the seed for this project, which will be available in November. With a new library space on the horizon, library board trustees were looking for fundraising possibilities. “A former chief librarian introduced me to the concept of library-sponsored cookbooks; quite a few libraries have published them in the last few years,” says Gill. “In particular, he drew my attention to one that the Nelson Public Library had done.” Seasonings, the first cookbook released by the Nelson library in 2011, had been a successful fundraising campaign, which led to the release of their second book, Pairings, in 2016. »
