For Immediate Release:
The Glens Falls Figure Skating Club is proud to announce the release of
FIGURE SKATERS� FAVORITES � A Collection
of Recipes from Figure Skaters Around the World.
This unique cookbook, produced by the club, is a compilation of 450
recipes from over 270 skaters. Many
of the participating skaters are current or past national, world or Olympic
competitors and medalists. Numerous
well-known competitive skaters, coaches, judges and professional skaters are
included, as are several members of the Glens Falls Figure Skating Club.
A list of contributing skaters is
attached.
This cookbook was first conceptualized by Michelle Capron, Club President,
approximately four years ago as a possible fundraising project for the club.
The club has been contacting skaters and collecting recipes ever since.
The project really began to blossom as online social networking sites
such as Facebook became more popular and it became easier and faster to reach
the skaters. Many of the skaters
contributed recipes from their native countries, providing an international
flavor to several parts of the book.
Most of the participating skaters have been extremely enthusiastic about the
project and many of them contacted other skaters about participating in the
project as well! Several of the
participating skaters have already purchased multiple copies of the book as
gifts for their friends.
The cookbook was printed by Morris Press and includes a beautiful padded ring
binder cover, tabbed category dividers, a pocket page for recipe clippings and
notes, a section of helpful hints and cooking tips, and a plastic stand to
display the book while cooking. A brief
biography of each participating skater is also included.
The books are available locally from members of the club, or online at
SkatersCookbook.com. Books are $20
each and are available for immediate shipment.
