My wife Dianne and I are publishing a new cookbook (Maine Locavore Cookbook) to feature Maine food and to be used as a fundraising opportunity for charitable and nonprofit organizations once it is published.

We could go on and on about why we have undertaken this project, what led to our interest in great local Maine food, what locavore really means, how locavore activities got started, our favorite recipes, etc., etc., but all that is explained on our web site www.locavorecookbooks.com

Please take the time to check out our web site and feel free to contact us with any comments, ideas, suggestions, etc. and to submit your favorite Maine recipe (via online form, email, fax or snail mail). The recipe submitter's contact will be published with each recipe if desired.

We urge you to inform your friends, colleagues and Maine food producers who enjoy cooking (and eating) good Maine food and might want to submit a recipe.

We look forward to hearing from you and to working with you to make this a fun and exciting project. We are excited about it and hope that you will be also.

Sincerely,

Al & Dianne Keene
