In The Recipe Box, a sweet and sentimental tale of legacy orchards and recipes, Samantha ("Sam") leaves the traditions of Michigan for the exciting bakeries of New York City. Thrilling successes, bitter setbacks and a teasing romance make for a cream puff of a read. Please join us as we discuss the book, written by former St. Louisan Wade Rouse writing as Viola Shipman. Mickey Kitterman will prepare his grandmother's Waldorf salad, and chicken and noodles as his personal legacy recipes, plus Michigan blueberry slab pie paired with cereal milk ice cream from Christina Tosi of New York City's cutting edge Momofuku Milk Bar.
