Book Journal: A Pause to Write

After umpteen days of baking straight, I am taking the next few days to actually work on the narrative portion of my book. You know, actually write something?

Today I head up to Yonkers to spend a final day at the Greyston Foundation and the Greyston Bakery to hopefully get some great quotable tidbits, and some beauty shots of the amazing people that both work there, and utilize their services.

I leave behind me, in the freezer and in the bellies of loved ones around me, the six desserts I developed and tested in the last two days, plus many more from earlier in the week. Pictured above is a Molten Chocolate Cakelet, a (Key) Lime Tart, a Burnt Almond Torte, Walnut Date Bars, a Bermudian Rum Cake, and a Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Tart.

My teeth are rotting just typing those words. Looking forward to a break from the cooking...

Everything looks so delicious - can't wait for the book to hit shelves. I know it's due in September. Any idea on when it will be available to the world?

Wow, I just had breakfast and I'm hungry all over again. Good luck with the writing today.

LOVE the Greyston model -- and what a space they have!
Glad to hear they're part of your book.
