Princeton Health Event Focuses on New
Cookbook Featuring Something for Everyone
PLAINSBORO, N.J. —The Pollan family — including Emmy-nominated actress Tracy, her sisters Dana and Lori, and their mother, Corky — will offer insight into eating for optimal health and lead a cooking demonstration during a special event Wednesday, June 5, at Princeton Medical Center.
The event, scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. in the Schreyer Education Center at PMC, will focus on the quartet’s latest cookbook, Mostly Plants: 101 Delicious Flexitarian Recipes from the Pollan Family.
The book focuses on eating vegetables without having to give up meat entirely. Mostly Plants features a wide range of easy-to-prepare dishes with something for everyone — vegans to meat lovers and anyone in between.
Early registration is $20 per person, which includes a copy of Mostly Plants, light refreshments, coffee and tea. Beginning May 1, registration will cost $25 per person.

Tracy Pollan became a household name in the 1980s with a recurring role on the popular sitcom Family Ties, portraying the girlfriend of Michael J. Fox’s character. (Pollan and Fox have been married since 1988.) Since then, she has played several roles in the theater, films and television.
Dana and Lori Pollan cofounded the Pollan-Austen Fitness Center in New York, where they developed and taught innovative exercise programs and co-created and appeared in a series of popular workout videos. Corky Pollan, author of Shopping Manhattan, edited New York magazine’s signature column, “Best Bets” and later became style director of Gourmet magazine, where she was involved in all aspects of the publication. She has also written for the New York Times and Coastal Living.
