Appearing at the Sept. 12 Mission Viejo Readers’ Festival – among the more than two dozen authors, illustrators, and entertainers – will be cookbook author and newspaper columnist Cathy Thomas.
In addition to being an editor for the Orange County Register, Cathy Thomas’ food features are a regular part of newspapers across the country and she has earned the first place award from the Association of Food Journalists as the best food columnist in the nation. She recently wrote Melissa’s Great Book of Produce, which guides the reader on the best ways to select, store, cook, and eat over 100 varieties of fruits and vegetables.
Cathy Thomas will be sharing cooking tips from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. in the Juniper Room of the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center.
This free City event, sponsored by the Friends of the Mission Viejo Library, takes place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the Village Green and Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center.
In addition to “Bringing Books to Life,” the Mission Viejo Readers’ Festival is serving as a way to support those less fortunate, as representatives of the South Orange County Food Bank will be present to accept donated canned or non-perishable food items.
More information on Cathy Thomas and all of the authors, illustrators, entertainers, and food vendors is available at www.mvreadersfestival.org.
