Yes, we have the cookbook. See it here: https://vintagecookbook.com/product/teacher-in-space-cookbook-touching-the-future-1986-teacher-in-space-finalists/

Teacher in Space Cookbook: Touching the Future, 1986, Teacher in Space Finalists: Recipes compiled by the Teacher in Space National Finalists and other parties interested in Space Education. Edited by Bonnie D. Fakes, Tennessee Teacher in Space. First edition, first printing published by LaCrosse Marketing Concepts, Inc., LaCrosse, Wisconsin in 1986, with the proceeds benefiting the Teacher in Space Education Foundation. 168 pages, including pictures of every state’s chosen teachers. The New Hampshire teacher, Christie McAuliffe, was the teacher chosen for the shuttle launch. On January 28, 1986, the NASA Space Shuttle orbiter undertaking mission STS-51-L and the tenth flight of Space Shuttle Challenger launched and tragically broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven crew members: five NASA astronauts, one payload specialist, and McAuliffe.

This first edition, first printing copy was published before the Space Shuttle Challenger tragedy. This copy is in excellent vintage condition. The cover has a lot of shelf wear. Binding is firm, and all the pages are clean and clear. (Another printing of the Teacher in Space Cookbook was published later in 1986 by Walter’s Publishing Company, Waseca, Minnesota. It includes a full page photo of McAuliffe.)
