Great cooks are a great community resource.
When money has to be raised, printing and selling a cookbook is one way to raise it. The council hopes sales of the cookbook will raise enough money to outfit a Philadelphia police bike patrol in its area. Mark E. Sherman of Sherman Properties, a local developer, agreed to pick up the tab for printing 300 books. The money is for Sister's Circle, a breast cancer support group to which Jeyaraj belongs, and the Wellness Place in Lansdale, which offers support to people with all types of cancer. Someone has to go back into the hospital, and the group wants to send flowers.
