COOKING FOR A CAUSE
When COVID hit, residential developer Marc Pollack of Sandy Springs headed to the kitchen, whipping up meals with fresh ingredients from his wife Robin’s garden. Now he’s sharing the fruits of his labor in Chez Marc’s Quarantine Cookbook ($29.95), packed with food and drink recipes such as Snapper Ceviche, Spatchcocked Chicken and Watermelon, Strawberry and Pineapple Vodka Slush. Proceeds from the new cookbook benefit the Gateway Center, supporting Pollack’s advocacy work for affordable housing and homelessness. “My goal at the end of the day is to try to take the things that I know how to do and to turn them into making the world a better place,” Pollack says. marrofoundation.org
