Lake Isle’s 20th Anniversary Bash
by Jennifer • November 17, 2010 • News
To celebrate our last 20 years of cookbook publishing and our newest author, Vikas Khanna, Lake Isle authors, designers, photographers, editors, and dear friends came together for a night of great food and music at the Rubin Museum of Art. The hors d'oeuvres and drinks for the evening were provided by Vikas and his team, using many recipes from his upcoming cookbook, Flavors First. Special thanks to Mark Kleinfelder for the photos below.
