Yesterday was the best day of my life. Okay, it was the best day of the year.

We’re in the final week, the home stretch, of Menu for Hope 6 and I’m thrilled that so many of you have generously bid on items for this important charitable event. (Update: The deadline for bidding has been extended to December 31, 2009!) It’s amazing that when so many people contribute even just a small amount, just $10 a person, collectively we can make a…

This is our sixth year raising money and in the past, we’ve topped $92,000. With your help,…
Have you been searching for copies of my first two cookbooks, Room for Dessert and Ripe for Dessert, only to find out that they’re now out of print? Released in 1999, Room for Dessert had recipes for over 100 of my favorite desserts. Ripe for Dessert followed the same winning formula for easy-to-follow recipes, with a focus on using fruit.
