Several of my recipes were featured in Danielle Cantor's feature article "No Sweat Summer Cooking" in the summer 2004 issue of Jewish Woman Magazine. My philosophy (especially in the summer) is "If it takes longer to prepare than it does to eat, forget it." Just follow this link to the article, which includes my recipes for Strawberry Dream Cheesecake and Bruschetta: www.jwmag.org/articles/11Summer04/p27.asp IMPORTANT: If you have received duplicate copies of this newsletter, I apologize! Just E-mail Norene and I will correct it immediately. Our intention is to inform, not annoy. If you could share this newsletter with others who might be interested in my cooking classes, culinary events, cookbooks and services, it would be immensely appreciated.
