Long Day for Spatulatta

There will be pictures coming but in the meantime we'd like to thank our friends at Permabound for hosting a lovely breakfast to introduce the Spatulatta Cookbook to 50 Chicago Public School librarians. The librarians were great and had plenty of ideas on how to use the cookbook that we'll be sharing with you as we progress.

Liv and Belle demonstrated how to make James and the Giant Peach Sorbet, part of last year's Cook By The Book episode. You can find the recipe in our Recipe Box. Scroll down to Cook by The Book.

After breakfast, we all got back in the van and headed up to the Chicago Botanic Garden for a cooking demo. Livvy made Bunny Salad and Isabella made Root Vegetable Bake. Both recipes are found in the Spatulatta Cookbook.

The audience was a mix of people of all ages from 18 months to grandparents. Everyone got a taste of the veggies and lots of people went home with signed cookbooks. In fact, the CBG sold out! But they will be getting more for their gift store, if you are in the neighborhood.

If not, you can order the book on-line from us or visit you local bookstore.
