BRIDGTON - The folks at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Bridgton are famous for the food they offer at potluck meals, coffee hours and public suppers. Now the parishioners have compiled their favorite recipes along with a few stories into a cookbook entitled "Food for the Soul." In "Food for the Soul" you'll find recipes for appetizers, soups and stews, salads, main entrees, vegetables, breads, desserts and this and that. Some of these are family recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. All are "delish."
