Book signing

As you may know, I have just released my first-ever baking cookbook, A Gift of Cookies: Recipes to Share with Family & Friends, and am thrilled to start book signings and meet with all you bakers and cookie lovers out there. 


I am especially excited for an event that will be happening this Friday, 23rd of October, between 4 and 8 p.m. at the CarefulPeach Boutique in Oak Park, Illinois. The CarefulPeach is one of my favorite stores: Its founder Karen has carefully curated a wonderful array of apothecary luxuries, handmade jewelry, accessories, table linens, fine tabletop pieces, gourmet foods, cooking accessories, home decor, and so much more. It should provide a perfect backdrop for my book signing. Social distancing will be observed throughout the event, and all visitors to the CarefulPeach will be required to wear masks.


If you can’t make it to the store, no worries! We will also be streaming the event on Facebook Live on our page here; feel free to watch and submit questions via the comments. I’ll be signing books and also giving out some of my extra special baking tips.


Hopefully this will be the first of many such events. You can keep up to date on my in-person events via the News and Events section of my website.


I look forward to seeing you out and about!
