 ort Bend Junior Service League’s upcoming cookbook, Treasures from the Bend, Rich in History and Flavor will be arriving soon. Honored as Fort Bend County’s Official Cookbook and generously underwritten by St. Luke’s Sugar Land Hospital, this beautiful hardbound book highlights several of Fort
Bend County
’s community treasures with attractive photographs and interesting historical
facts such as
“Sugar Land Regional Airport’s history traces back to 1952 when Dr. Donald “Doc” Hull landed his bi-plane in a cow pasture near the state prison farm.”
League members and local celebrities submitted the 280 recipes selected for the
book. Each recipe was tested a minimum of two times for accuracy and flavor, so
you can be assured that you will find many new family favorites. FBJSL
president Brigit Engleman added,
“Treasures from the Bend is far more than just a flavorful collection of recipes. Our members have put
together a unique book that also captures snapshots of history from all parts
of Fort Bend County through its beautiful photographs and well-written copy. We
are certain that the community will discover a wonderful treasure in the league
’s second cookbook.”

Proceeds from cookbook sales will benefit Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels, a
vital program in the community that serves more than 1,000 meals each day in
Fort Bend County. Since 1974, FBS has been committed to helping seniors remain
independent by enhancing their quality of life through comprehensive services
and programs, which include Meals on Wheels, congregate meals, transportation,
recreation, case management and information and referrals. Senior citizens 60
years of age and older who are unable to safely prepare their own meals are
eligible to receive hot, nutritious meals at home, six days per week. The Fort
Bend Junior Service League is honored to assist this worthy organization in its
efforts to serve seniors in the community.
Join St. Luke’s Sugar Land Hospital and FBJSL at the cookbook kick off celebration at Sugar
Land Town Square on Oct. 15. Town Square has graciously agreed to provide the
live entertainment, and Amici will be preparing some restaurant favorites for
the evening. It is sure to be a great time, so mark it on your calendar now.
