IACP Cookbook Awards Held in Seattle
Apr 10, 2006 | From the kitchen of Rose
Lisa Yockelson's book "ChocolateChocolate" won the best book in the baking category at the IACP cookbook award ceremony on the evening of April 1!
As presenter of this category, along with my friend and fellow-baker/author Jim Dodge, now of the Getty Foundation, we had the great pleasure of announcing the award to Lisa and an audience of close to 1400.

Thank you, Bershire Baking, for your kind words about ChocolateChocolate. Indeed, it was a long, long labor of love to produce a work of that length and breadth. About my slim frame: I have no special "diet," as I believe in eating every delicious thing in moderation, cook and bake with top-quality, premium ingredient (such as organic butter and eggs), and have always had an active lifestyle. And I never turn down a great dessert!
Happy Baking!
Lisa

lisa will have her own unique answer when she returns from a trip next week. as for me, it's always hard. i once wrote an article entitled "my life in the war zone of temptation!" in a way it's easier bc i'm always conscious of the results of over-eating being surrounded by so much delicousness. but i do have to taste. this week i called it the cake diet. i actually lost a pound bc tasting so much cake i was careful to eat very small portions of eerything else particularly of carbohydrate nature.in the spirit of full discloser, i who eat nothing for breakfast started the day with a fantastic rose geranium macaroon which arrived from my dear friends at the exquisite miette bakery in s.f. this was followed by a small piece of moist fudgy chocolate cake i'm working on for the new book. then another piece at a colder temperature. a few hours later a slice of challah (made yesterday in response to a request from my husband)spread with butter and sublime strawberry butter from american spoon foods. i've decided to postpone the little brown sugar cakes testing til tomorrow lest i be tempted to try them warm out of the oven as they are supposed to be served. tonight will be reheated roast chicken with basmatic rice made with the browned on the pan bits of chicken broth, and cauliflower with potatoes and curry. uh oh--until i wrote this i didn't realize i was working 2 carbs into one dinner. o.k. the cauliflower dish tomorrow night to go with the rest of the roast chicken.

Lisa Yockolson certainly deserves this award. If any of you out there haven't gotten this book, head to your nearest bookstore NOW! You will be in chocolate heaven!
Also, I'd love to know how Lisa and Rose stay so slim and trim while developing and testing their delicious creations. Let us in on the secret! Thanks!

That was a great Ceremony. I can't believe I stood 3 feet from you and never realized it was YOU! If I had I would have told you how much we use your recipes and how we constantly turn to your books for our catering and private chef work. Thanks so much for all of your work. And I will introduce myself if we both happen to be in Chicago.
