I'm published! ... well sorta

While helping a friend with her algebra today, I received a knock on my door & found my favorite postal carrier with a package for me. I couldn't imagine what was in the box. I tore it open to find a new cookbook - for free - for submitting a recipe for the Worldwide Web Cookbook. I submitted a recipe for Pulled Pork sandwiches (page 146).



When I heard about the project & submitted my recipe, I thought, "OK, sounds fun." I didn't realize the book would be hardcover, spiral-bound with beautiful photos & even a cute font. I almost bought the book on Friday before I realized I would soon own one.

If you're in Utah, there's a great event next Wednesday with demonstrations of recipes from the cookbook. Tell them I sent you (or not...) --

³Confessions of a Chocoholic Cook² is a free cooking event in which community members will be taught simple but tasty chocolate recipes from author and cook Deanna Buxton.

The event will be held at the SCERA lobby (745 S. State St., Orem, UT) and will begin at 7 p.m.

Some of the recipes that will be taught and demonstrated include Chocolate Pancakes with Grandma's Syrup, Snickers Salad, ³My Most Favorite Cake² and Fudge Cookies.

The event¹s recipes are based on the book Worldwide Ward Cookbook, which features recipes from all over the world.

³Confessions of a Chocoholic Cook² is open to the general public, but those who want to attend must RSVP by March 16 by emailing covenantpromotions@gmail.com.

Participants are also encouraged to email their best chocolate/dessert recipe ahead of time to be included in the recipe-swap table at the event.

This is sooooo cool! Congratulations! I wish I cooked, then I could get the book. Maybe if I purchased the book I would cook. Or maybe it would sit on the shelf with the rest of my cookbooks.
Pretty cool!
