I am thrilled for the media coverage, as the co-authors will be here April 3, 4, and 5th..very soon!
Of course, I am absolutely gorgeous in the photos (camera adds 40 lbs). I had a blast with the photographer and the journalist....who I enjoyed in my kitchen for 4 hours the other day!
The article says I am an AVID blogger...so I best start blogging again, eh?
The beautiful photos of the food...which I didn't know I'd be making until Manny arrived and said, "so what are we eating?", are beautiful online. I was making "fake stuff" for photos...ya know, onions and peppers in a hot saute pan for the photos. Good thing I can think fast on my feet and had a FEW of the REAL ingredients to make the seafood gumbo from the cookbook!
Refer to article about their schedule. They will be on TV Thursday morning, Good Day Sacramento/channel 31 with Chef Jon Clemmons of The Porch...9 a.m. hour.
So..FED EX is here to deliver the 75 copies of Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking. Luckily, American River College is getting their own shipment today! Elaine Corn and I will be merrily
P.S. This is so cool.
P.S.S. I used to watch Nathalie on PBS all the time. Nathalie and Julia. Cynthia produced the shows! I still use Nathalie's advice when it comes to big dinners. Fill a very large cooler (or two) with soapy hot water, hide em, and throw the dirty pots and pans in there ...so you can enjoy company and do em later! If you read her recipes, you will notice that she often mentions things like.."why dirty another pot?" She also admits to hating to empty the dishwasher...I do too, and so does my DIL. Sisters from another mister.
