I’m also excited to help promote the vendors, chefs, and restaurants who’ve graciously donated time, food and services to Books & Cooks.”

Honorary Restaurant Chair Glenn Vogt, of RiverMarket Bar & Kitchen in Tarrytown, leads the culinary contributors, who include: Don Coqui, Hudson Grille, Bistro Z, BONJO Coffee, Red Barn Bakery, Broken Bow Brewery, Johnny Gelato, Good-Life Gourmet, Morton’s The Steakhouse, Penny Lick Ice Cream Co., Chutney Masala, The Seeker Wines, Spiked Seltzer, Village Social Kitchen + Bar, Vistro Café at Recologie and Hastings Tea.
