In the early 1990’s the Capitals released Capital Cuisine, a cookbook of recipes compiled by the team’s players and staff. Last March, the Capitals once again announced that they were putting together Cooking With the Caps, another cookbook compiled by the team’s players, coaches, staff, and the team caterer.
Unforeseen circumstances caused said cookbook to be put on hiatus, with an unknown return time. Monday afternoon the Caps announced that the Cooking With The Caps cookbook is finally ready to be released! The books will debut at the Verizon Center on Saturday March 4, with all the proceeds benefiting DC Central Kitchen.
Here’s a few examples from the new cookbook:
