THE PALM SPRINGS BEARS COOKBOOK is a mammoth gay community cookbook produced by the Palm Springs Cookbook Bears, a potluck group that started off with the idea of a different cookbook being used at every potluck ... but it turned out the members of the club didn't like rules, they just wanted to make food and have fun. When the pandemic came, the club's potlucks were suspended for a while, so the members of the club produced this cookbook, which also raises money for Well in the Desert, a local charity that feeds and assists those in need in the western half of the Coachella Valley. What could be more bearish than raising money for a charity that feeds people?

Freitag, Steve: - The hundreds of recipes were provided by more than 100 contributors, including professional chefs, caterers, food educators, doctors, real estate agents, IT professionals, dieticians, academics, musicians, artists, diplomats, pilots, teachers, architects ... and plenty of retirees, since this is Palm Springs, after all. And even though the contributors are bears (generally older, broader and furrier than the gay men you often see in the media), rest assured that you will not be torn limb from limb if you come across them in the wild. Friendly hugs are more their speed. In addition to recipe chapters, the book takes a look at laughable midcentury cookbooks (since Palm Springs is known as the Modernism Capital of the World), The Gay Cookbook (a fascinating document of pre-Stonewall gay culture), and the California desert oasis of Palm Springs itself -- a movie-star resort that has been rated by AARP and Expedia as the world's best place for LGBTQ seniors to travel to or retire. Steve Freitag is the author of The Bears Cookbook (1998) and Extra Virgin (Virgin America employee cookbook) (2011).
