Wine and Food Pairing plus Book Signing For Mother's Day Weekend Saturday

Join us this Saturday May 10th from 2-6pm at Village Wines in Woodinville to meet some wine makers from the book! Village Wines in Woodinville wine country is a great wine shop/tasting room in a cozy space just off the path on your way to Chateau St. Michelle or the Woodinville Hollywood School House. The owners of Village Wines have a large following because they are both very warm and friendly people who have created a relaxed environment to enjoy unique and hard to find beers and wines. I'm looking forward to meeting new people who are interested in knowing more about food and wine or die-hard professionals who could offer suggestions too. I'll be making two different crostini, a hanger steak bite (always fun) and a variation of the Cider Brined Pork Chop with Caramelized Apples- I'm making a vegetarian crostini- caramelized apples with Manchego sheep's milk cheese. Can't wait!

Jazzfest Notes- More to Come!!

Hey Y'all! (in my best southern drawl),

I can't wait to share all the deliciousness that is the south. The Jazzfest music, the food and of course the company was all fantastic! I think I took 300 pictures on my digital camera and about 30% are food photos! Even though I got back several days ago, my suitcase is still unpacked in my living room as we speak. Things are busy!

I'm recipe testing and writing for the next book, a mother's day tasting/book signing and wine pairing on Saturday May 10 at Village Wines in Woodinville and coming up a Red Wine for Red Cross benefit and a signing in Walla Walla in June.

I'll keep y'all posted!
