Hi I am the buyer for the CAC Store at the Contemporary Arts Center. We are interested in carrying the Park + Vine Cookbook in our store. How do I get a hold of some copies?!
Kind regards,

Do the recipes include processed oils/fats such as olive oil, coconut oil, etc???
Hello! Yes, we use olive oil in many of our recipes.
Hello, I’m an Art Director at Cincinnati Magazine and I am trying to reach out to see if I can get a cover of the Park and Vine cookbook? If someone could please reach out to me that would be appreciated, I have not been able to find an e-mail or contact info on this website. Thanks! Jen
