Review of Heavenly Cakes and Gourmet Cookbook

Jenifer Lang, who together with her husband George Lang owned the famed New York restaurant Café des Artistes, is now writing a web column for a stylish new blog 212DressingRoom.

The blog describes itself as "...fuses fashion culture, art and commerce from a New York City perspective for the progressively minded fashion and design community."

Jenifer has just posted this review which is so brilliantly written and such a perfect commentary on today's cookbook scene (or should I say situation?!) that I am sharing it here with this link:

A Fun and Informative Blog Posting

Hector's Great Video Tape of My Lecture/Demo on Flour

Hector has done a heroic and magnificent job of editing the video tape of my presentation on flour for the NYU Experimental Cuisine Collaborative. It was really a labor of love and he did it for all of you who could not be there and expressed regret at not being able to hear and see it. Now thanks to him you can do both. And thanks to Woody for manning the camera between prepping the cake samples--all those great zooms are his doing!

You can see the video file here: http://www.realbakingwithrose.com/RoseECC.mov (it's 150 MB, a very big download).

Photos and another copy of the same video are available on Hector's site: http://www.hectorwong.com/roselevy/ECC/index.html


My First Wedding Cake Podcast

I was interviewed recently for a podcast just in time for the June wedding season. The interviewer was delightful, asking questions that ranged from technical, to practical, to fanciful in which I had the chance to tell about the cake I made and transported to Westport Ct., to appear both for my niece Joan Beranbaum's wedding and in Martha Stewart's wedding cake book!

For fascinating lore on weddings and traditions through the ages, be sure to listen to the second interview with Nicolas Fletcher, author of "Charlemagne's Table" on the same podcast, immediately following mine.

To listen, click here. For full details on how to get the show to play if it doesn't start automatically, go to the Eat Feed site.
