Debby Dyar discusses her irreverent, yet relevant cookbook, Deliciously Corrupt: The Cookbook, featuring satirically titled recipes on Wednesday, March 26th at Readers’ Books. There will be a 5:30 p.m. reception followed by a 6:00 p.m. reading. The collection imagines what a community cookbook created by the John Roberts Supreme Court would look like—complete with Ms. Dyar’s commentary. With recipes like “Cherrymandering Cherry Tomato Salad (Carving Out Favorable Republican Districts)” and “Ginni Tonic (with Just a Twist of Insurrection”, Deliciously Corrupt is a unique combination of political satire and home cooking.
Debby Dyar grew up in Palo Alto and attended Arizona State University. After owning an accounting business in Stanford for fifteen years, she and her family moved to wine country, where she started a manufacturing and wholesale cookie business. The cookie company became a great success, selling to places such as Starbucks, Williams-Sonoma, American Airlines, and other stores nationwide. After the loss of her house in the 2017 fires, Debby sold the business, turning her attention first to rebuilding her home and then to creating the Deliciously Corrupt Cookbook.
