Chapter Chatter: Rincon del Diablo Chapter Publishes Quarantine Cookbook

The Rincon del Diablo Chapter continues its fundraising efforts with the sale of the newly published Quarantine Cookbook, Rincon del Diablo Colonial Tavern. Each section provides a bit of whimsy with names like “Flatten the Curve” Granola and “Lockdown” Chicken Tacos. Anecdotes of this time are also memorialized. From home-schooling to drive-by birthday parties, the cookbook will prompt time capsule memories for many years.

DAR volunteers culled through dozens of favorite recipes submitted by members to replace donations that have fallen off since March. “In order to help to fund our service projects,” said chapter regent Pam Russell, “we created a fresh, new source of support for our charities.” All proceeds will be directed toward DAR’s projects including Native Women’s Coalition, Honor Flight San Diego, Fisher House, Wreaths Across America, the DAR Schools, and others supporting homeless veterans and victims of domestic abuse. “It has been a busy six weeks, but we are very proud of our results,” Russell added.

Each section is further enhanced by revolutionary era line drawings by DAR member Melissa Shaw Bloch who mixes colonial period dress with settings that evoke a time long-ago when home baking and food preparation were not novel practices. The cookbooks make good gifts for family and friends and can be ordered online at https://www.quarantinecookbooksd.org/ for $16 with payment via PayPal.
