The cookbook “Shakin’, Bakin’, and Celebratin’†serves as the 2006 “Gift of
Life†Breast Cancer Survivors’ Project.
Survivors have included their favorite recipes accompanied by brief stories or
anecdotes about their personal survivorship experiences. Cookbook committee
members, as well as “Gift of Life†supporters and staff, were also invited to
participate.
Containing over 350 recipes, “Shakin’, Bakin’, and Celebratin’†features
traditional categories, such as entrees, starters, side dishes, and sweets, but
also includes comfort foods and an extensive section on healthy eating options
written by registered nurses from the Julie & Ben Rogers Cancer Institute.
Adding a twist are categories titled “Fellas’ Favorites†(prostate cancer
survivors’ recipes), “Cooking with the Stars†(recipes from area chefs and
restaurants) and “Tickled Pink!†(pink foods).
Cookbooks are $15 each, and all of the net proceeds benefit the “Gift of Lifeâ€
and will help provide free cancer screenings for those who are medically
underserved.
