Chocolate: The Event ( Do not miss!)

Southern California's Premier Chocolate, Wine and Coffee Festival!
Have you heard? Everything’s coming up “Chocolate” this summer down here in sunny Southern California and we’d be particularly honored were you to be a part of it!

Starting Friday evening, July 29 and all day Saturday, July 30, 2011, the Center Street Promenade in Anaheim, MUZEO and in association the Downtown Anaheim Association, will be holding a festival called, “CHOCOLATE: The Event” for all of Southern California.

As well as chocolate of all sorts, there will also be wine tastings, fine coffees to sample, live concerts, a celebrity chef challenge, and extra special--extra fun--surprises for the entire family (not to mention some of the hottest entertainment around.)
Already promising to be the “Can’t Miss” premier celebration of the 2011 summer season, “Chocolate: The Event” is designed to appeal--not just to chocolate lovers, but to anyone of any age who enjoys a plain old terrific time!

“Chocolate: The Event” is being held in conjunction with MUZEO’S exciting, one-of-a-kind Chocolate Exhibition. In part, it shall be a fund-raising effort for both the MUZEO’s outreach programs to bring the arts to children and the community at large, along with the Downtown Anaheim Association.

Guidelines Extended to Men too !

I'm happy to announce the extension of guidelines to male writers. I was going to work on an "all male" writers on food anthology in 2012, but there's just too many male writers and men I'm interested in reading as well. So spread the word!

The Culinary Coquette

I'm still accepting submissions for the anthology! I'm going to make this happen! I'm determined. Stay tuned for some new posts on all things food too !
