Spring has finally arrived in Boston! And while I have spent the majority of the start of the season mending my leaking ceiling, I am still so happy to pack away winter coats and boots! (except my galoshes, of course!)

International Home & Housewares 2010

A rainy Chicago day...

This past weekend was the 2010 International Home and Housewares show in Chicago. The show was a HUGE success for us. Three of our Spring authors, Iron Chef Cat Cora and the amazingly talented authors of Hello, Cupcake and What's New, Cupcake, Karen Tack and Alan Richardson took to the GOHO Cooking Theater stage at McCormick Place to demonstrate a couple of their fantastic new recipes and designs.

Karen and Alan demonstrate how to make their famous cupcakes.

Cat creates a delicious Nicoise salad with a twist.

People were very excited about the recent release of What's New, Cupcake! (9780547241814 $16.95) and for the May release of Cat Cora's Classics with a Twist (9780547126036 $30.00). Other top sellers included 100 Words for Foodies (Editors of Amer. Heritage 9780547239682 $5.95) The Italian Slow Cooker (Michelle Scicolone 9780547003030 $22.00) and The Flexitarian Table (Peter Barley 9780618658657 $30.00).
