Yacht Club cookbook provides cash to Tahoe charities

South Lake Tahoe Yacht Club’s first publishing endeavor is “Our Favorite Recipe Book”.

The purpose of this project is put the group’s recipes into an easy to use collection, while supporting local charities. All profits this year will be directed to the Lake Tahoe Boys & Girl’s Club, CASA and the South Lake Tahoe Women’s Center.

The Yacht Club has a number of gourmet cooks as well as professional restaurant owners who have contributed recipes to the book. These include favorites from Evan’s, Nepheles, Tep’s Villa Roma and the Cantina.

The request to members was for “special” recipes. Many have been passed down through generations.

The pages are printed in black and white and color, with a focus on the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe. The original drawings by local artist and club member Nancy Farmer add to the recipe pages.

Cookbooks are $20.
