A local Facebook group, originally meant to share recipes, has led to national best selling cookbooks and thousands of dollars donated to local charities.
Dawna Doell the creator of The Official Quarantine Cookbook, says it started as a Martensville centered Facebook page to share recipes. She wanted to use the recipes as a way to teach her kids some practical skills during the pandemic. However, the page grew substantially and through thousands of shares now has over 64,000 members from all over the world. Doell says the page created a sense of community when a lot of people have been socially-isolated from the people they are used to seeing. She adds during the pandemic people have turned to cooking at home, and not relying on pre-made foods. Doell says it has put a lot of people back in the kitchen.
