A recipe from the new cookbook
Kathleen Lynch (1996–97)
I’m a terrible cook, so it may seem odd that I proposed to produce an ASCSA Alumni Cookbook. But I do enjoy eating, and some of my strongest memories of Greece involve food and wonderful dinners shared with friends. In honor of the 130th anniversary of the School, I proposed that alumni and friends of the School send in recipes and food memories. I was overwhelmed by the generous response and the marvelous shared memories. The cookbook is now completed and available, and in it you will find delicious recipes for Greek favorites like lentil soup and moussaka, imported comfort foods like Christmas stolen and brownies, and surprises like octopodi Minoan style and a retsina cocktail (!) Photos document progressive Easter lamb roasting technology and prove that Loring Hall residents actually used the Alumni’s gift of kitchen utensils. The memories evoke sparer times rich with friends and adventure. There is even a haiku about Kinder Eggs.
Proceeds from the cookbook will go to the Alumni/ae Association, which contributes fellowships and an annual gift to the School.
There are two ways to get the cookbook:
1) As a book on Blurb.com.
The book is 7 x 7 inches square, full-color, soft cover, with 48 pages of text. The cost at Blurb is $26.95, which includes a $10 donation to the Alumni Association.
