From the Penguins:

The Pittsburgh Penguins have published a charity cookbook, “Goal Scorers & Gourmets,” to benefit the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. In time for the holidays, the cookbook features favorite recipes from the players and team personnel as assembled by the team’s wives and girlfriends. The book also includes fun food facts for each player, cooking terms and a variety of culinary information.

Cookbooks are available at all Penguins home games through the month of December and by mail order via the Penguins website at www.pittsburghpenguins.com.

A good cause, and I love hockey cookbooks. I’ve also copied Sidney Crosby’s Meatball recipe below.

And if you still feel like more hockey food entertainment, František Kaberle’s Chicken Paprika made by my friend Greg last year, still ranks as one of my all-time favorite moments where hockey blogging, booze and food all came together into one delightful heart-attack-on-a-plate.

I’ve cooked it myself twice now. That’s one scary-looking chicken dish, let me tell you.
