With stunning, four-color photography throughout, Savor the Moment highlights over 300 quick-and-easy selections, as well as gourmet creations. It also offers readers extraordinary entertaining ideas to make every day special or events exceptional.

All proceeds from the Savor the Moment cookbook benefit local community programs. This cookbook has allowed the JLBR to do great works such as:

• Help migrant farm workers receive low-cost quality housing and community services. These services include a Child Development Center, which provides after-school care and tutoring.
• Consistently increase support to underprivileged and at-risk children in the form of ongoing, after-school and summer educational, cultural and life-enhancing programs.
• Build a community garden that provides a healthy supplemental food source to its gardeners and the local food banks while cultivating the spirit of community.
• Start a necessary diaper bank that distributes diapers of all sizes to local families in need.
