ALUMNI ARTIST PUBLISHES COOKBOOK
1961 AHS alumni, Sheila Garver Hansberger, proudly announces the release of her latest project, The Better Than Average Apple Cookbook. This is an updated version of a sold-out cookbook that was carried exclusively by Snow-line Orchards in Oak Glen, California over a quarter century ago. From the mid-1970s until 1988, the Hansberger family lived in the mountain community of Oak Glen, working the everyday operations. Each autumn, they sold apples and cider directly to the public from their century-old packing shed.
“Many of our customers bought apples by the bushel. Depending upon the size and variety of apple, the average bushel can weigh thirty-eight to forty-two pounds. That’s an awful lot of fruit to prepare. I’m sure more than one customer got home and panicked,” says Sheila. “I decided I could offer a solution by creating an apple cookbook from all the recipes I’d collected.”
The original cookbook was a very basic edition—mimeographed pages stapled between a simple cover printed by a local firm where Sheila worked part-time as a graphic artist. The latest version features a full-color glossy cover and contains the same recipes as before, but has been updated to include over thirty apple-themed illustrations spanning her career as a professional artist. Several of the artworks depict Oak Glen barns and buildings which no longer exist, or have been remodeled, making the book a unique collector’s item.
The Better Than Average Apple Cookbook is available online at Amazon.com. It can also be found in Oak Glen at the Five Seasons Gift Shop, Snow-Line Orchards, and the Kopper Kettle Kafe in Yucaipa.
