0612 Mt. Laural Cookbook
Cindy Prickett spearheaded efforts for the new Mt Laurel cookbook.A new cookbook, The Town of Mt Laurel, Street by Street, contains not only recipes but the stories of the namesakes around the town.
Most of the streets in Mt Laurel are named after distinguished landscape architects, including Frederick Law Olmsted, who designed New York’s Central Park. Accordingly, the divider pages in the cookbook feature the street lamps and street signs with information about the person for whom the street is named.
Each recipe includes the street name of the person who contributed the recipe.
Cindy Prickett first came up with the idea for the cookbook while admiring the food at Mt Laurel’s Sippin’ Seniors holiday progressive dinner. Kristie Peters contributed photos, Jill Walton provided newsletter articles on the street names and Diane McDaniels shared her cooking expertise.
The cost for the cookbook is $20. All proceeds will benefit the Mt Laurel Public Library building fund; the library plans to build a permanent location to replace their temporary one on Olmsted Street.
Cookbooks are available at the Mt Laurel Library, the Mt Laurel Sales Center, TownHouse Tea Shoppe, A Spoonful of Sugar and the North Shelby Library. For more information on the book, contact mtlaurellibraryfriends@gmail.com.
