The culinary world is characterized by celebration, appreciation, local tradition and a very special form of communication. It is no surprise that food and drink are powerful elements that bind people together and define personal identity and community. The idea behind this cookbook is to not only provide delicious recipes, but also to tell the stories of people within the Fort Collins community through the lens of food and drink, and show how their personal ideas on food and drink combine to create the colorful mosaic of the community.
