reviews and stuff

My first book, Let Me Eat Cake: A Celebration of Flour, Sugar, Butter, Eggs, Vanilla, Baking Powder, and a Pinch of Salt, was published by Simon & Schuster on April 14th, 2009. Since then, I've been a busy cake lady. I'll post links to book-related events and articles here from time to time.

Here's my current calendar. On Mother's Day, I'll be live on KGO Radio's "A Matter of Taste," from San Francisco, on Mother's Day from 11:30 to 12:00, so you can listen if you're a left coaster. Sometime soon, my interviews with NPR's "A Chef's Table" and Silver Chair Books will go live. Check out "The Signal," on WYPR, this Friday, as I'll be reading about my grandmother. Then, Saturday, May 15 at 5:00 p.m., I'll be reading with three fantastic writers—for twelve minutes each!—at Minas in Hampden.

This is all so awesome. My speakers were on the fritz and I just now was able to listen to the podcast interview. Nice!

Also, we've been on a carrot cake kick here lately. I just baked a second one in less than a week yesterday, even though it's really too hot for baking. I was being really good, but your interview got me thinking about it and it called to me. Now I'm eating cake and it's not even noon. I hope you're happy.

Duff Goldman's Executive Sous Chef is Geof Manthorne. Not "Jeff".

Yes, thank you. I sent him a letter of apology about three months ago. I regret the mistake. When you write hundreds of pages, it sometimes happens. It's not an excuse, but I hope the apology and correction on reprint will suffice.
