Cookbook author Gesine Bullock-Prado debuts new book with recipes for ‘all (six) seasons’

Saturday, March 11, at 11a.m.—WOODSTOCK—Vermont’s own renowned pastry chef and cookbook author Gesine Bullock-Prado has a new cookbook, “My Vermont Table: Recipes for All (Six) Seasons” releasing this month. She will be coming to the Norman Williams Public Library in Woodstock to talk about it with Mary King, a writer, former restaurant manager, and fellow food enthusiast at an event co-hosted by NWPL and the Yankee Bookshop.

When Gesine Bullock-Prado left her Hollywood life in 2004 and moved to Vermont, she fell in love with the Green Mountain State’s flavors and six unique seasons. Spring, summer, fall, and winter all claim their place at this table, but a true Vermonter holds extra space for maple-forward mud season — that time of year before spring when thawing ice makes way for mucky roads and stick season, a notable period of bare trees and gourds galore prior to winter. In “My Vermont Table,” Bullock-Prado takes readers on a sweet and savory journey through each of these special seasons with more than 100 recipes and stories. 

The Yankee Bookshop will be on hand with early copies of the book (the official release date is Tuesday, March 14th.  As always, all book sales in relation to events held at the Norman Williams Public Library will benefit the library with a portion of our sales going straight to the authors.

Norman Williams Public Library is located at 10 The Green, Woodstock.
