Nourishing Body And Spirit (NAPSA)—Theact of cooking turkeys has inspired all sorts of family traditions, but none perhaps as interesting as the Turkey in the Hole method used by a special group of camp moms. In this tradition, a turkey is grilled by cooking it underground in a smoldering pile of ashes for several hours. The quirky cooking custom is a favorite among the camp momsat Eckerd Youth Alternatives (EYA). It is one of the many recipes the momsuseto feed the thousands of hungry kids whoattend their outdoor therapeutic programs for 7 struggling | youth. To celebrate EYA’s 40th anniversary, the camp momsare sharing their recipes in a commemorative cookbook, along with 300 others from EYA employees and founders Jack and Ruth Eckerd. Proceeds from the book will benefit the more than 14,000 youth that EYA helps annually. Titled “Making it Differently and Making a Difference: From Alfredo Rotini to Zucchini Zhan Weinee,” the cookbook features hundreds of time-tested, kid- approved recipes. The suggested donation is $20, which includes shipping. To order a cookbook, call EYA at (800) 554-HELP (4357) or visit www.eckerd.org/cookbook.
