Thank you for your understanding and I hope you will continue to enjoy Cannelle et Vanille.

I just returned from New York City where

... I taught a food styling and photography workshop,

... hosted a Sunday Suppers,

... pretaped an interview with Michael Harlan Turkell for Heritage Radio,

... spoke with Sophie Herbert on Martha Radio, and

... had an amazing small gathering at the Martha Stewart offices to celebrate the release of my book and my story in Whole Living.

I had to pinch myself several times.

I am really excited about today's post as I am sharing some of my favorite recipes I have been cooking these days and...

... I am giving away 25 boxes of Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flours!

Now, I hope this gets you to get into the kitchen and bake some more gluten-free recipes.

So what do you say?

Inspired to bake?

It is not unusual for me to be baking in the kitchen. After all, that is where I feel most comfortable and where our family gathers always.

Hello friends,

I am beginning to schedule some book signings and events to promote "Small Plates and Sweet Treats". I will regularly give you updates on where I will be and maybe you will be able to stop by and say hi at some point? That would be lovely and much appreciated.

I am thrilled that my first book signing and cooking demo will be at Anthropologie in West Palm Beach on Thursday, October 18th. I will be doing a food styling demo from 6-7pm followed by the book signing from 7-8pm.

I couldn't leave you without sharing another recipes from the book, could I?

This time a little something sweet...

... something with chocolate.

How do chocolate, hazelnut and fleur de sel pots de crème sound?

This is a simple and easy treat that I make for my family often just like the custard pots that we ate for an afternoon when I was young.

Jon and Miren made a batch with me before school on Monday when I returned from France. "Can we make custard, amatxu?" they ask.

Yesterday I promised that I would be back with a recipe from my book. Savory or sweet... that was up to you.

And I have to admit that you surprised me with the result. "They will want a sweet treat!". I was certain you would. But when I counted the results this morning, I was wrong. You opted for a savory small plate.

Could it be the weather?

Autumn that makes you crave something cozy and warm?

I know that's how I feel these days.

I just returned from France where the leaves began turning, the rain saturated color, and I wore a colorful scarf everyday.

Autumn had arrived in La Dordogne.

Just like these tiny, tiny crabapples.

The workshop went very well and I met some amazing women from all over the world. More on it later when I can catch my breath a bit.

And it's finally October. October 2012, the month I so anxiously waited for the last two years as I was working on my book.

I have been waiting anxiously to tell you about our feature in the latest issue of Martha Stewart's Whole Living magazine.

This summer, during a sticky heat-wave, Jon, Miren and I flew to New York City to shoot this story titled "The best breakfast recipes ever (that happen to be gluten-free)". This was a project we had been working on for months and I was excited to finally put it all together.

I developed six breakfast recipes for this story.

Nearly six months ago, we traveled to Vermont to film the trailer for "Small Plates and Sweet Treats" - my book.

I wanted this trailer to reflect my cooking, my love of nature, and the healthful dishes and beauty I seek in everyday life. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to travel to the hill - Nadia's hill. A place that sums my vision very well and a place with Jon and Miren feel at ease.

I also knew that I wanted Ryan Marshall to shoot it.

I am excited to share with you is that part of my portfolio is now available at StockFood. Something I started working on a while ago, but has taken this long to finalize.

Food, lifestyle images, nature, and small everyday details. The things I enjoy.

I will continue to add some more photos of new and old work in the upcoming weeks. I hope you like the selection.

And stay tuned for a new post next week!

I will finally share the trailer for my book "Small Plates and Sweet Treats".
