To benefit America’s leading center for the research and
treatment of all types of cancer, here is a cookbook with a cause par
excellence. The members of The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center are some of the most celebrated partygivers in New York
City’s fundraising world. Now the ladies of the society have
opened up their private recipe files to present foolproof dishes that
will turn any event–whether a cocktail party for sixty or a
comforting family meal–into the talk of the town. Edited by
acclaimed food writer Florence Fabricant, Park Avenue Potluck is
filled with such recipes as Cheddar Chutney Croustades, Baked Spinach
Risotto, Cider Roasted Pork Tenderloin, and Bermuda Banana Bread
Pudding. This unprecedented peek into the dining rooms of Gotham’s
poshest addresses offers up advice on entertaining in true New York
style. Among the boldface names contributing are Coco Kopelman, Muffie
Potter Aston, Nicole Limbocker, Daisy Soros, Patsy Warner, Alexis
Waller, and Katie Colgate. Humorous anecdotes, insider tidbits, and
party-planning advice from these grand dames make this the
season’s choicest invitation.
