Festive Launch for the Third Edition of Palisades Famous Cookbook
On November 1, the Palisades Community Center kicked off the new Pots & Pans in Palisades cookbook with a tasting party. Amidst twinkling lights and with a glass of wine in hand, a hundred fifty partygoers sampled recipes from the cookbook contributed by dozens of Palisadians. We thank Alice Gerard and Mary Tiegreen for recreating a third edition of this cookbook, the first in forty years, and donating all profits from the sale of the cookbook to the Palisades Community Center Restoration Campaign. So far, almost 250 cookbooks have been sold.
Joe Hyde’s nephew, John Macy, donated a case of his famous Macy’s CheeseSticks and Anne Hyde Dunsmore traveled all the way from California to attend. We thank Joe Printz of Grape D’Vine for selecting the wine and for Marika Hahn, Jackie Martin, Nina Prusinowski, Susan Nemesdy, Elizabeth Quinn, Sally Morrison, Carol Knudson, Sheila Chin, Alice Buchanan, Michele Balm, Leo Keegan, Virginia McCauley, Jill Wecht, Eileen Larkin, Katey Plotkin, Marianne Brown, Helena Power, Judy Hata, Hubert Pedroli, and the Palisades Presbyterian Church for their part in making this a very special night.
Speaking of cookbooks… they are selling like hotcakes. A second printing of books had to be ordered, and these are now available for holiday gift giving. Cookbooks can be purchased at the Palisades Library or ordered through Eileen Larkin at 359-6589 or ileenog@aol.com. We also have adorable aprons that every household should have. Both cookbooks and aprons are $20 each.
