3 new great food ventures, events coming up

Hello all, wow what an exciting 48 hours in my food world! Yesterday I was hired by my wonderful Friend Cynthia at the Macy's School of Cooking to assist The Famous Chef Rick Bayless for his upcoming class on the 25th of March. I cannot wait! I am a HUGE fan of his. I Can't wait to learn from him! You can follow him on Twitter @Rick_Bayless. He is the Chef/Owner of Frontera Grill, Cookbook Author, and Host of Mexico-One Plate at a Time on PBS. His website is http://www.rickbayless.com/

Then today on Twitter I got an offer to assist my long time wine connoisseur pal via online (although we haven't met in person) Julie Grimes of Eagles Nest Winery at her vineyard on Sat. I cannot wait to meet her and learn from her on Sat.! I am also going to be her Sous Chef later that day cooking yummy pizzas in her outdoor brick pizza oven! YUM! You can check out her website at http://eaglesnestwinery.com/

On Sunday we are going to the Family Winemakers of California where they will feature 200+ wines at Tasting 2010 in Del Mar, 3/14. Tickets are still avail: http://bit.ly/bDvI60 Stay tuned for more food fun! Have a great day and have fun cooking and exploring!
