Community cookbooks (also known as compiled, regional, charitable, and fund-raising cookbooks) are a unique genre of culinary literature. Community cookbooks focus on home cooking, often documenting regional, ethnic, family, and societal traditions, as well as local history.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.answers.com/topic/community-cookbooks |title=Answers.com |website=[[Answers.com]] |access-date=2010-04-03 |archive-date=2011-09-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110922045532/http://www.answers.com/topic/community-cookbooks |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Bowers|first=Anne|title=Recipes for Reading: Community Cookbooks, Stories, Histories|year=1997|publisher=University of Massachusetts Press|location=Amherst|isbn=978-1-55849-089-5|url=http://www.umass.edu/umpress/title/recipes-reading|access-date=2013-03-15|archive-date=2013-12-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131228103744/http://www.umass.edu/umpress/title/recipes-reading|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Sondra Gotlieb]], for example, wrote her cookbooks on Canadian food culture by visiting people and homes by region.
