Bright School Presents Fork Knife Spoon Cookbook

Saturday, October 20, 2012


The Bright School Parents’ Association presents Fork Knife Spoon, a collection of Chattanooga’s favorite recipes in commemoration of Bright School’s Centennial.

Published by Wimmer Cookbooks, Fork Knife Spoon features more than 250 simple yet sophisticated recipes featuring ingredients that utilize the bounty of local harvests.  The recipes are arranged in ten chapters celebrating the past ten decades of Chattanooga history.  These recipes are accompanied by glimpses of places, products and people that have shaped Chattanooga in the past 100 years.  Through the pages, the true flavor and feel of our lovely city emerges.


The group recognized the unique contributions from local restaurants.  Recipes are included from 212 Market, Black Creek Golf Club, Café on the Corner, Table 2, Easy Bistro, Urban Stack, St. John’s, Blue Plate, Taco Mamacita, Vine Street Market, Terminal Brewhouse, Public House, Mt. Vernon Restaurant, Chattanooga Golf & Country Club and Bluewater Grille.

Local artist Carylon Killebrew painted the lovely artwork that graces the cover of the book.  In addition, the beautiful photographs of local landmarks that serve as the recipe section dividers were taken by Artists Eye Photography, owned by Bright parent Carissa Margio and Jessica Sebes.  Proceeds from the sale of Fork Knife Spoon will benefit the children of Bright School through the work of the Parents’ Association.

Fork Knife Spoon is available for purchase at The Bright School at 1950 McDade Lane, and online at Amazon.com.  The book retails for $30 each.

Founded in 1913, Bright School is a coeducational, independent elementary school serving children in grades prekindergarten through five.  The school is located on Hixson Pike in North Chattanooga.  For more information, visit the school’s website at www.brightschool.com or call 423 267-8546.  For more information about upcoming Centennial celebration events, visit www.brightschool100.com.
