Robb & Stucky staff creates cookbook to aid Cancer Society
It is said that the kitchen is the heart of the home — so what better way for one of the country’s largest home furnishings and interior design firms to raise funds for cancer research than a cookbook filled with savory and sweet dishes. Robb & Stucky employees from across the country have compiled their favorite recipes for a corporate-wide fundraiser benefiting the American Cancer Society.
The 300-page book is filled with family favorites, scrumptious finds and even original recipes from the chefs of the Robb & Stucky KitchenAid Culinary Center.
The bulk of the first-edition compilation will be in stores Nov. 1. A special edition of pink-bound books, printed in a limited quantity, will be on sale the week of Oct. 19.
The “Robb & Stucky Cookbook” will retail for $14.99 in showrooms nationwide. All proceeds from the sale of each book will be donated directly to the American Cancer Society.
“We had a fantastic response from our associates for this project. From Boca Raton to Las Vegas, Dallas to Sarasota, the Robb & Stucky staff was overjoyed to share their favorite dishes for this important cause,” said Clive Lubner, chief executive officer for Robb & Stucky. “The result is a stunning keepsake book that offers a variety of delicious recipes to share with family and friends this holiday season — with all of the proceeds going directly to the American Cancer Society.”
According to the American Cancer Society, about 1.4 million new cancer cases were expected to be diagnosed in 2009.
