Sorry for my extended absence, but if you follow me on Twitter you already know that I have spent the last month working furiously on my second cookbook.  I am happy to report it is all done, all 30 pictures included, and if all goes as my publisher plans it will be seeing store shelves sometime next May!  Also, my first book, Everything Pie, should be available in a book store near...
