KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Kelseyville Education Foundation has collected the best recipes from group members, teachers, students and friends, and compiled them into an attractive keepsake cookbook.

They began selling their one-of-a-kind cookbook at the Kelseyville Pear Festival. The cookbooks have many unique features including a removable cookbook stand, a pouch to add favorite recipes, a three-ring binder and a classic damask-patterned hard cover.

The cookbook contains 320 well-loved recipes including appetizers, main dishes, desserts and a special section with recipes for paper mache, play dough, homemade bubbles and many others.

Recipes include the contributors name and with some, a little history of Kelseyville or information about Kelseyville schools. The alphabetical index makes it easy to find the recipes of family and friends.

The Kelseyville Education Foundation is planning a cookbook sample dinner. The dinner will include a large sampling of dishes from their cookbook. They will be serving up soups, salads, sides, main dishes, breads and rolls as well as desserts. There will also be an auction of donated items and desserts.

The dinner is set for Saturday, Dec. 11, at the Kelseyville Lions Club on Sylar way in Kelseyville.

Happy hour with appetizers from the cookbook will be held from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. with dinner service starting at 6 p.m.

Price for the dinner is just $1 a dip. A $10 ticket for 10 dips can be purchased by calling 707-972-7358. All proceeds directly benefit Kelseyville Schools.
