Saltaire, N.Y.-- November 10, 2008Thirty six years after the launch of the culinary classic Fire Island Cook Book by Georgiana Hull, the torch has been passed to a new generation of Saltairians, born in the Baby Boom, raised on Fire Island, disciplined by hard and bitter mid life crises, still proud of their ancient heritage--and unwilling to witness the slow undoing of those Saltaire culinary delights to which their generation has become accustomed, both on the Island and to wherever they have migrated.
The new Fire Island Cookbook has been announced, and the call goes out for all to contribute.
Herewith is the Inaugural Invitation from Carol Scott Cappilletti; Janet Standard, and Kathryn Corrigan Woods:
Calling all Saltairians who love to cook and entertain as much as we do! A new Fire Island cookbook is in the works and we want your recipes. Primary ingredients should be indigenous to the island or nearby Long Island. Your family as well as guests who've contributed to memorable Saltaire meals - breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner - are all encouraged to submit recipes.
We are looking for appetizers, entrees, side dishes, desserts, as well as beverages. Think fish, shellfish, summer vegetables, berries, duck or even venison and send them this way. Don't forget about pasta and delicious and easy summer dishes. We encourage you to include any story you wish to share regarding the creator of the recipe or its genesis - the funnier the better! Recipes will be selected and tested in the “Test Kitchen” (chez Weinlandt) in summer, 2009.
Please let us know if you have ANY questions,
Carol Scott Cappelletti, Janet Standard and Kathryn Corrigan Woods
