Put on your reading glasses and come hungry!
We’re hosting Liza Gershman at the Constellation Cafe on Tuesday, 6/28 to share food styling, photography tips, introduce her latest book, County Fair: Nostalgic Blue Ribbon Recipes from America’s Small Towns.
This book showcases close to eighty Blue Ribbon–winning recipes from across America’s state and county fairs, covering all manner of homemade pies and cakes, jams and jellies, pickles, preserves, and sweets, from the classic apple pie, chip chocolate chippers, and lemon meringue to unique snickerdoodles and chokecherry jelly

Lists the ingredients that should be in every pantry, a set of standard recipes, plus a state-by-state breakdown
Lush full-color photography by Liza, highlighting the county fair culture and atmosphere, the people with whom she interviewed, and some of the vintage ephemera unique to each region

The all-American state and county fair tradition is not all carnies, corn dogs, cotton candy, and apple pie. The fair is a place for communities to come together and share some of the most meaningful moments in life that can evoke affection and nostalgia. Liza Gershman’s book is a visual feast―it’s jam-packed with the images, stories, and voices of the folk and tight-knit communities who celebrate this unique slice of Americana each year.
Beautifully illustrated throughout with stunning colour photographs of food, vintage, and retro ephemera, showcased here are close to 80 Blue Ribbon–winning recipes from across America’s heartland. What’s not to love about homemade pies and cakes, jams and jellies, pickles, preserves, and sweets! County Fair weaves together a celebration of classic, prize-winning regional specialties, secret tips for stocking your pantry, and the legacy of an American institution.

We “ap-peach-ciate” you!
2022-08-18 08:00 - 10:00 | Constellation Cafe
Peaches are popular lunch fruits, easy to pack in a lunch bag and easier to eat off hand. But, did you know that including a peach for breakfast can invigorate your morning? Just a single serving of this stone fruit in the a.m. can energize you with immune boosting Vitamin C, provide more potassium than a medium size banana, sharpen your eyesight with some Vitamin A, and kick start your brain activity with an abundance of healthy natural sugars.
August is all about PEACHES! It is the official National Peach Month and August 22nd is National Eat A Peach Day, so we’re combing the two and celbrating on August 18, in the Constellation Cafe. This morning your culinary team is jump starting the day by sharing delicious local peaches and wellness facts (while supplies last).
