A limited edition of Better Homes and Gardens “New Cook Book” (Meredith, $29.95) is now available. It’s distinguished by its cover design, a pink plaid background that has been substituted for the familiar red plaid of other editions of the publication.

The change to pink denotes support for the fight against breast cancer. The limited edition has all the recipes and information from the regular 12th edition of 2002, plus a 64-page “pink” section filled with healthful dietary and lifestyle recommendations, and 60 recipes featuring foods associated with reducing the risk of cancer.

The publishers, Meredith Books, say they plan to “make a minimun donation of $250,000 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.”

A card inside the book invites readers to honor survivors “by sharing a story of inspiration and a favorite recipe with Better Homes and Gardens editors.” These may be submitted by mail to: Pink Plaid Publishing Project, Attn: Connie Taylor, Mail stop LN 102, 1716 Locust St., Des Moines IA 50309-3023, or on the Web at pinkplaidcookbook.com.
