Signed, Sealed, Delivered, And Yours (Sept. 2019)
See that stack of beautiful cookbooks above? Soon to join them will be “East Bay Cooks” — by yours truly.
Yes, that’s what I’ve spent the better part of this year working on. In fact, I just finished the manuscript this month.
The cookbook, which will debut in September 2019, will feature 40 of the top restaurants, bars and bakeries in the East Bay, with their stories and recipes. The photography will be by the incredibly talented Bay Area-based Eva Kolenko.
Figure 1 Publishing, based in Vancouver, B.C., launched this series of city-based and regional contemporary cookbooks in Canada. Last year, it published its first U.S.-focused one, “Portland Cooks” by Danielle Centoni. This month, it came out with its second U.S. one, “Seattle Cooks” by Julien Perry. Next year, it’ll be my “East Bay Cooks.”
Which favorite establishments will be featured within the pages? A16, Belcampo, Curry Up Now, Duende, Millennium and Walnut Creek Yacht Club to name just a few in this stupendous group.
I hope that whets your appetite for the exciting months to come.
Carolyn, this is so exciting! Who knows what direction your life might have taken had you not been downsized from that SJM gig way back in the day. But the way it’s going now? Sensational!
Congrats!! 🙂 Can’t wait to see your work.
Wow! Congratulations, Carolyn! Looking forward to seeing your books next year!
Carroll: You are too kind! Thanks for the support and all the wonderful words of encouragement over the years. 😉
Can’t wait! I have the Montreal Cooks book and it’s top quality work. So I’m looking forward to this since you wrote it!
Yippee! More Carolyn in all forms, please!!
Excited to get my hands on this book!
