The latest feature for Sweet & Skinny was in Sunday’s food section of the San Francisco Chronicle. Amand Gold’s piece will hopefully get readers thinking about a Sweet & Skinny Christmas, not just as a gift, but also as the end to the holiday meal. The article includes one of my favorite recipes, the pumpkin-ricotta cheesecake. Yum!

It was quite an honor to be part of Eye on the Bay’s “food innovators” series, which features such talented chefs at Alice Waters and Art Smith. I’m glad that Liam, and the entire Eye on the Bay crew, found my Sweet & Skinny recipes to be so innovative and tasty.
We had fun whipping upSweet & Skinny PB&J cookies in the Macy’s Cellar. Speaking of which, I will be teaching a holiday cooking class at Macy’s on December 7th. For additional details, just visit my events page. It’s just in time for the holiday cookie exchange!

I’m sure many of you are familiar with the popular website ifood.tv, which features recipes, cooking demos and blogs by some of their favorite celebrity chefs. In addition, ifoodtv has a monthly newsletter that they send out to all of their subscribers, this month’s theme, “Our top favorite four desserts.” I am thrilled to say that Sweet & Skinny made the cut, with my skinny version of buttermilk panna cotta with fresh berries. This dessert can be made both Sweet & Skinny, or Sweet & Sugar-free (with Truvia).
