stories & food

It's here! Ready for the October 5th launch party at the La Fonda Hotel in Taos.  This is the book I've been working on and losing sleep over -- so pleased to see it manifested at last.
Each recipe is accompanied by a 200 word original story. 
SOMOS (Society of the Muse of the Southwest) is the literary organization here in northern New Mexico. This book will be its premier fundraiser -- eighty-four stories and recipes submitted by writers who also cook and bake. This book was the brainchild of editor Bonnie Lee Black, author and Gourmand International Award winner. Many people were involved in it's inception and I served as Production Manager and co-editor. We're pretty excited about the way it turned out.

Author John Nichols said:
"These recipes from all over the world are more fun to make than the spaghetti sauce in Goodfellas. You can replicate potent Arabic coffee, nosh Italian calamari or zeppole, and gobble treats made by a Greek poet. Each writer has a story that can be gory (like the night the canary died), or full of glory (like the day Emeril blessed this food to your youth). SOMOS has mixed up a goulash that is great to read, and even more fun to eat. Buen provecho and bon appetit. Enjoy!"

I couldn't have said it better. The book can be ordered at www.somostaos.org.
