7/13 Cubs cookbook coming soon

Want to know what Andrew Cashner likes to eat? Or check out one of Geovany Soto’s meals from home? Or make one of Ernie Banks’ favorite dishes? You can pre-order the soon to be released Cubs Cookbook now on amazon.com. http://amzn.to/b9GM73

The cookbook features more than 50 recipes from Cubs players and personnel, past, present and future, with everything from arepas to ziti. It also includes a history of food at Wrigley Field, plus recipes from some of Chicago’s best restaurants, such as Harry Caray’s, Hub 51, Stanley’s and D’Agostino’s. Best of all, sales benefit the Ryan & Jenny Dempster Foundation, created to help families dealing with 22q (DiGeorge syndrome), a disorder that affects their daughter, Riley.

We’ll have more on the cookbook as the release date approaches but wanted to give Cubs fans a heads up — and head start. It also will be available at more than 100 Jewel stores in the Chicago area.
