The Sabine Parish Library is calling on local residents to help preserve family traditions with the launch of its upcoming community cookbook, Recipe Roundup, sponsored by the Friends of the Sabine Library.

Community members are invited to submit their favorite family recipes for inclusion in the cookbook, which aims to celebrate homegrown cooking and the stories behind it. The submission deadline is March 1, 2026. Each participant may submit up to three recipes, and contributors are asked to include their first and last name along with their hometown, which will be printed alongside their recipe.

Cookbooks will be available for $20 each, and pre-orders are now open.

Recipes can be submitted in several ways:

Dropped off at any Sabine Parish Library location

Emailed to aprince@sabineparishlibrary.org

Submitted through a Google Form available on the library’s website at http://www.sabineparishlibrary.org

Angela Prince is coordinating the project and can be contacted for more information at 318-256-4150.

Library officials say the cookbook will serve as both a fundraiser and a keepsake, highlighting the rich culinary traditions found throughout Sabine Parish. Residents are encouraged to participate and help create a collection that reflects the flavors and families of the community.
