A Sweet give-a-way

My sister-in-law Emily Luchetti is the Executive Pastry Chef at two restaurants in San Franciso. One is Farallon Restaurant. The other one is Waterbarsf. She is also the Author of several dessert books, in addition to being a James Beard Award Recepient - quite a list of accomplishments!

Emily has a new book out entitled "The Fearless Baker" - a book that is very user friendly. The recipes are easy to follow, and the results are utterly delicious. I know this because Allen and I tested nineteen of them. We gave the goodies away to family and neighbors who praised the results. : )




So........if you would like a copy of Emily's book, let me know by leaving your name and comment. All entries should be in by May 19th 12:00am, and Allen (Emily's twin brother) will perform his magic and select a winner on May 20th. Good Luck to all!

    This book would inspire me to be a better neighbor and baker.
    Love to win a copy of this book. I rather like knowing that it is a step closer to being fearless!

    I love to cook, but am not much of a baker, so possession of a brilliant work like this would surely help to allay my fears (okay, expectations) of diaster when trying to turn flour, yeast, and other ingredients into something edible. Pick me!!
