Chef Geraldine Gilliland to Release THE LULA COCINA COOKBOOK

Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, Chef, animal welfare advocate, and renowned Restaurateur Geraldine Gilliland is slated to release her most recent cookbook 'The Lula Cocina Cookbook-Recipes from Mexico to Malibu' (Savory Books) on May 5, 2015. Some of the highlights from the cookbook include recipes for: Chia Limeade, The Lula Blood Orange Margarita, Calamari in Orange Lime Escabeche, Crab Cakes with Tomatillo Sauce, Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast with Jalapeño Jelly, and Ginger Flan, to name a few. Of the book, Geraldine shares, 'I've always loved the flair and flavors of traditional Mexican cuisine, so much so that over 20 years ago I traveled to Mexico City to tour the area with Lula Bertran and learn how to cook her authentic recipes. From that experience, my vision for the restaurant 'Lula' was born. Now that it's been a great success, I want to bring those recipes, along with my own personal twists, to as many food lovers as possible with 'The Lula Cocina Cookbook.' The dishes in the book are perfect for your next fiesta, be it Cinco de Mayo, or just for everyday meals. I just know you'll love the recipes as much as I do!' 'The Lula Cocina Cookbook' is currently available for pre-order on Amazon. All proceeds from the book will be donated to 'Chiquita's Friends,' a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and rehabilitation of abused and abandoned animals in the Southern California area. In addition to launching this cookbook, Geraldine is also slated to receive the 2015 'Irish Woman of the Year' Award from the Los Angeles City Council (Friday March 13). Mayor Eric Garcetti, Councilman Tom LeBonge and Terry Anderson of the Irish Fair will be in attendance.

Chattanooga Symphony & Opera Concertmaster to Perform Pulitzer-Winning Composition, 3/12

Chattanooga, TN – The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera's Barnett & Company Masterworks Series concert on March 12 will feature the CSO's Concertmaster Holly Mulcahy performing Jennifer Higdon's Violin Concerto, which won a Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2010. Higdon wrote the piece in 2008 for violinist Hilary Hahn. According to Higdon, “I believe that one of the most rewarding aspects of life is exploring and discovering the magic and mysteries held within our universe. For a composer this thrill often takes place in the writing of a concerto…it is the exploration of an instrument's world, a journey of the imagination, confronting and stretching an instrument's limits, and discovering a particular performer's gifts.” The second half of the program will feature Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony, his last, a piece known as “Pathetique” and is a pathos-laden piece that deals with the power of fate in life and death.

We don't need to see that, but Geena Davis doesn't feel like a long term cast member.” So these are the questions that milled around my brain this evening while I allowed GREY'S to give me agita.
