"...The Ladies’ Village Improvement Society Cookbook: Eating and
Entertaining in East Hampton gathers a carefully curated
selection of 21 menus with more than 100 recipes from LVIS members,
notable chefs and a few celebrity friends—all meeting Fabricant’s
well-honed set of standards. The result is a hefty, 250-page tome
filled with fabulous photos by Doug Young (as well as vintage
images), history and lore from professional editor, ghostwriter and
LVIS member Bess Rattray, and a foreword by Martha Stewart."

"Written with a similar spirit to a Junior League cookbook, albeit
one with a Northern twist and some celebrity cameos, The Ladies’
Village Improvement Society Cookbook (Rizzoli; $45) marks the 125th
anniversary of the well-known beach town’s nonprofit with a
collection of its members’ recipes including some from Martha
Stewart and Ina Garten." —ATLANTA HOMES & LIFESTYLES
"If the outside world’s impression of East Hampton is that of buxom
and pale hydrangea Macrophylla bowing to the ocean breeze, tables
laden all’aperto with crisp blue linens and shiny white Apilco
porcelain, wealth and celebrities, country clubs and fabulous
restaurants, well, then, this glossy quasquicentennial “The Ladies
Village Improvement Society Cookbook” will firmly cement that
impression." —EAST HAMPTON STAR
