CookBook News

Hi guys:

Writing and publishing a cookbook has been a wonderful expierence for me. Not only am I fulfilling my passion, which of course is cooking and serving people wonderful Italian food, but all the attachments that I had not considered. Such as the cooking classes that have developed. Somehow, I agreed to be on the summer class roster at the Family Education Center, and said that I would gladly teach Italian Cooking. This fianally became Rosalie's Kitchen, and all of the classes ended up in my kitchen every Thursday afternoon, and evening. To say that I have enjoyed every class is really an understament. Rather, to say that my students and I have had a ball is more true. We made as many as six recipes in some classes. They were 2 1/2 hour classes, and both students and myself literally cooked up a storm. The best part for them was that they got to take all the food home.
Another great part of publishing a book are all the book signings. I have met so may neat people, and being abel to sign their book is really exilerating. Of course I have to tell that not everyone who buys a book from me really intends to use it. At least that is what one woman said. Quote: "Oh, I don't cook, I just collect coobooks, and look at the pictures". In any case, I just have fun. So, please guys have fun with the book and e-mail me and let me know what recipes you have tried, and what you thought of it. Good-bye for now, and Keep Serving Italian.....Rosalie's of course!
