Enid Junior League cookbook kicks at Steve's

By NATALIE MIKLES World Scene Writer - 10/31/2009


In Junior League circles, the Enid Junior League's book "Stir Ups" is a classic.

When it was first published in 1982, it was a must-have book, and almost 30 years later, it's still selling.

On Sunday, women from the Junior League of Enid will be at Steve's Sundry, Books & Magazines for a food tasting and book signing for "Stir Ups" and the league's 2002 follow-up book "Cooking by the Boot Straps."

The women will have samples of food from the books — corn salsa, pumpkin bread and spiced tea.

"Cooking by the Boot Straps" sells for $21.95. "Stir Ups" sells for $16.95.

The tasting and book signing is from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday at Steve's, 2612 S. Harvard Ave.

You can try this corn salsa, from "Cooking by the Boot Straps" on Sunday.
