Over the past 44 years, Indianapolis Alumnae Panhellenic delegates and volunteers have been creating mouth-watering recipes to serve at our annual Tasters Luncheon. Now you can have the recipes to make in your kitchen for your family and friends. 

IAP announces the publication of A Sampling of Sisterhood - Five Decades of Tasters Luncheon Classics, a new cookbook available in early May 2021.

Capturing classics like sparkling frozen fruit salads from the 1970s to today’s recipes with popular ingredients like edamame and quinoa, A Sampling of Sisterhood contains over 250 recipes featuring appetizers, breads, salads and desserts. Selected from more than 900 recipes served at past Tasters Luncheons, this collection represents the best of the best from each year. Many of the recipes have short stories from members sharing why the recipe is now a family favorite. Each recipe also shows the year it was served at the Tasters Luncheon and, when available, the recipe contributor and her sorority affiliation.

Designed for easy use in the kitchen, the cookbook features a padded, hard cover 3-ring binder, conveniently sized at 7”x 9”, which lays flat when open. Inside, approximately 150 pages are organized into five decades. Each section is separated by heavy tabbed dividers to make finding your favorite recipes convenient. The divider pages share food trends from each decade for a trek down memory lane. A Sampling of Sisterhood chronicles the history of the Tasters Luncheon, as well as the over 100-year history of the Indianapolis Alumnae Panhellenic. Two indexes are included to help locate the recipes by category and by contributor. 

A Sampling of Sisterhood costs $20.00 plus 7% IN sales tax for a total of $21.40 each. The cookbook is now available for pre-production ordering through all IAP delegates. Go to the top of the page to choose your quantity and add to cart. IAP will accept payment by check sent to the IAP treasurer or by credit card via PayPal.

Cookbooks will be delivered to the selling delegate for you to pick up at no charge. Shipping is also available starting at $8.00. If you have questions or need help with ordering, contact your delegate HERE or email IAP at iaptasterslunch@gmail.com for help.

Invigorate your home cooking with these tried-and-true classic recipes from IAP’s popular Tasters Luncheon! There will be a limited number of cookbooks available for sale this year with all proceeds going to support IAP’s annual scholarship efforts.
