As the Junior League of Fort Wayne approached its 70th anniversary, its members tried to think of a powerful and visible way to commemorate this milestone. Committee members gathered, cooked, taste tested and edited hundreds of recipes. The best three hundred twenty were selected for a beautiful cookbook featuring tidbits about JLFW’s current and past projects as well as keepsake photos and little extras from our hometown. The result is – 70 Savory Suppers: JLFW’s Celebration of 70 Years.
The cookbook offers plenty of “from scratch” recipes, but there are also recipes that start with premade or convenience items to reduce preparation time. The cookbook also includes menu suggestions with removable dividers to organize recipes into ethnic and event-centric themes such as “Sunday Dinner”, “Easy Weeknights” and “Around the World”.
70 Savory Suppers is available for purchase at the Junior League Office, or the gift shop at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. The cost of the cookbook is $15 or 2 copies for $25. Proceeds directly benefit Junior League of Fort Wayne community projects, volunteer efforts and leadership training in order to further develop the potential of women.
