Florence Fabricant will talk about the new “Ladies Village Improvement Society Cookbook” in a live online event at 5 p.m. on Saturday hosted by BookHampton of East Hampton. L.V.I.S. cookbooks have been a staple in many kitchens here for well more than a century. The latest edition features a foreword by Martha Stewart and recipes arranged around 20 menus. Registration is at bookhampton.com, through which a link to the meeting will be provided. Recipes were contributed by L.V.I.S. members and fine-tuned by Ms. Fabricant. Sample recipes and downloadable cookbooks dating back to 1896 can be found at LVIS.org.
