CURRENT
► The lovely Claire Blaustein of Cookthink tells me they will have a table at this year's Metropolitan Cooking And Entertaining show (http://www.metrocooking.com/2008DC/home.html) Stop by if you can, they'll be be talking about the site, promoting the root source, and doing lots of fun giveaways! They'll even have copies of my books.
► I recently sat down for a lively conversation with citycook.com's Kate McDonough on topics ranging from what's new in microwave cooking to how home cooking continues to evolve. Click here to listen to the audio. The site also features my recipe for Easy Shrimp Risotto.
► I've begun a weekly column for sololady.com. Called Micro Magic for One, it features easy microwave recipes for one (or two) that are practial, rapid, and enjoyable to make after a busy day. My first recipe, Salmon in a Hurry, celebrates the arrival of Spring. Healthy Heaven Chicken and Mushrooms tastes of indulgence without guilt. Taking richness a step further, Veal Delight With Cream combines voluptuous with the surprisingly good pairing of curry and tarragon.
► New microwave recipes along with my step-by-step "how to" videos can now be found on my very own section of Videojug.com called The Microwave Gourmet. Among the dishes I demonstrate are Barbecue Chicken, Swordfish and Vegetables, and Peanut Butter Blondies. I hope you'll check it out and tell me what you think.
► I'd like to thank Cookthink for the positive mention of my blog (click here to read) and return the compliment. Cookthink is a new online cooking resource worth checking out. The blog portion features recipes and daily posts on seasonal ingredients, kitchen tools, techniques and food news. Recently posted on their blog is A Proper Look at Desserts: A Q&A With Barbara Kafka.

► I will be doing some interviews for the Martha Stewart Living Radio show on Sirius. Check back for details of when they will air.
