Naptime Chef Kelsey Banfield Presents The Family Calendar Cookbook

Rounding out Fairfield’s Restaurant Week is cookbook author Kelsey Banfield, signing copies of her new cookbook, THE FAMILY CALENDAR COOKBOOK, on Saturday, October 17, from Noon-3:00pm, at the downtown Fairfield University Bookstore, 1499 Post Road, Fairfield, CT. Holidays, school events, fun gatherings with the neighbors -- this is the stuff of family life, and there’s always a need for a perfect recipe, through all four seasons of the year. 

THE FAMILY CALENDAR COOKBOOK is organized by your family’s timetable, featuring no-fuss recipes for every occasion (no matter how big or small). Whether you’re serving snacks for your daughter’s slumber party, or throwing a Winter Chili Night for friends, or providing allergy-sensitive treats to take to your son’s classroom, Author Kelsey Banfield has crafted the most reliable, most delicious recipe for everything that crops up. She also provides fun crafting ideas to do with the kids, including homemade holiday treats that are sure to be a hit. THE FAMILY CALENDAR COOKBOOK will be your new kitchen playbook, to be used all year long. 

“Kelsey Banfield has taken an unruly year of bake sales, weeknight dinners, holiday meals, school events, potlucks, and celebrations and whipped it into shape. She provides smart, imminently doable recipes, as well as presentation ideas and craft projects for the un-crafty so that we can all sail through 12 months with ample inspiration and solutions.” —Katie Workman, author of The Mom 100 Cookbook

“Inspiring! A modern take on the family cookbook, this volume will stand the test of time to be handed down for generations.”  —Jeni Britton Bauer, author of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home
