Come and visit with me at 1913 Restaurant in Roselle, Illinois, on Thursday, May 1st, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. You’ll find me in the nook by the bar, signing books and serving treats! If you haven’t gotten your copy of My Life in Pies: Sweet and Savory Recipes Inspired by Family and Friends yet, now is a great opportunity—I’ll even sign it for you! This book was truly a labor of love. It’s chock full of classic favorites and creative treats that will delight everyone at the dinner table. Plus, 100% of the proceeds go to local children’s charities. You can learn more about the Oak Park River Forest Infant Welfare Society and the Hephzibah Children’s Home below.
Oh, and did I mention there will be treats and cocktails?
I’ll be serving lemon meringue pie bites and homemade empanadas. And I can’t wait to sip on 1913’s limited edition cocktail—they’re making a Rye Tai cocktail just for us. I’ll definitely raise my glass to that!
While you’re there, pick up a gift certificate!
In addition to My Life in Pies, I’ll also have my homemade, cognac barrel-aged vanilla extract on sale. And if you purchase your book from me, you’ll get $10 off your next visit to 1913 Restaurant. You really can’t beat that!
I’m so excited for this delicious collaboration with 1913 Restaurant—here’s a little bit about them:
I absolutely LOVE 1913 Restaurant and Bar in Roselle, Illinois. Their menu focuses on fresh, seasonal ingredients, including fresh fish and high-quality steaks. They seriously have some of the best food around! Plus, their drink menu includes over 100 kinds of bourbon, craft beer, and a full cocktail bar. If you haven’t been to 1913 yet, please come and spend the evening there with me—you are going to love it too!
