BOOK-FAMOUS WOODSTOCK COOKS

Famous Woodstock Cooks and Their Favorite Recipes
by Joanne Michaels
Paperback, 143 pages.

The focus of this entertaining volume is less its recipes than the cast of Woodstock characters who lend them. Each one gives his or her own story and a recipeof sorts. A few of the more notable dishes include vegetarian lasagna from Maria Nardi, chef-owner of a fine-foods shop; tangy tomato chutney from Betty Ballantine, who the authors mistakenly say is the publisher of Ballantine Books; and mincemeat turnovers from artist Eduardo Chavez.
