League Cooks Up ‘Delicious’ Book

Junior League members have been cooking and cooking and cooking …

They have tested - three times each - some 2,000 recipes to arrive at the 250 selected for the Junior League of Spokane’s “GOLD’n Delicious” cookbook which should be on the shelves of local bookstores, select department stores and specialty shops by early October.

GOLD’n Delicious was created, designed and printed by Junior League members. The cookbook features menus and recipes using many Inland Northwest products, and highlights Spokane-area activities, landmarks and lifestyles.

Sale profits will help fund league projects intended to eliminate the destructive cycle of poverty, abuse, homelessness and neglect in the community.

A total of 15,000 copies will be in the first printing; reprints will occur based on sales and continued demand. Pre-release orders may be placed by calling 328-2166. Retail price is $22.95 (plus tax).

For more information, call 328-2801 or 467-5542.
