Malibu resident and restaurateur Geraldine Gilliland (left) smiles beside fellow Malibu resident Sherman Baylin at a fundraiser, cocktail party and cookbook signing at Lula! last Sunday, one of the restaurants Gilliland owns in Santa Monica. All proceeds from the sale of her new book, “The Lula Cocina Cookbook — My favorite recipes from Mexico to Malibu” will go toward her Malibu-based nonprofit “Chiquita’s Friends,” which rescues dogs from high-kill shelters.
