Comments

  • Is there a way to get the cookbook without going to the festival? I don’t live anywhere near Florida, but I’d still like to be able to get the recipes.

  • How many vegetarian recipes are there (no fish, chicken, meat or any other animal products except eggs and dairy)?

  • Yay! Hopefully, if my mom’s cancer stays stable, mom, dad, my husband and I will be there for our 3rd year in a row! As the daughter of an international award-winning chef and the wife of a chef I have to say that we always enjoy ourselves at the festival!

  • 2011 and 2012 books are well worn from all the dishes we have created at home.

  • Mmm!
    It all sounds so good!

  • Two recipe posts in one week! I’m in heaven…and now hungry.
