On Saturday, Aug. 16, Yolanda Lodi will be at The Bookstall in Marion not only signing copies of her latest book, Yolanda’s All New Cranberry Cookbook, but also willing to share her experiences writing and collecting recipes. With more than fifty recipes using fresh, frozen, or sweetened dried cranberries, all are nutritious, simple, and easy to make. Besides recipes and stories, this new cookbook (her fourth) features an introduction in which she offers encouragement for those who love to cook and want to be creative in developing their own recipes. "Experiment and take the plunge. Try something new that sounds good."
So, take a few minutes on Saturday, Aug. 16, between 10 am and noon, and stop by The Bookstall, located at 151 Front Street, Marion MA (508-748-1041), to talk about cranberries and cookbooks with Yolanda, who strongly feels that preserving recipes keeps traditions alive for future generations to cherish. Cheers. | |
