Eureka Springs, Here I Come!

Great news to share: I've been awarded a Duncan Eat-Write! Fellowship from The Writer's Colony at Dairy Hollow in Eureka Springs, Ark.

Later this month, I'll head to the Ozarks for two weeks of uninterrupted writing time, a room -- and a test kitchen -- of my own!

ReneĆ© Sedliar, senior editor at Da Capo's Lifelong Books, took world rights to Kim O'Donnel's Licking Your Chops. The deal was closed by agents Sally Ekus and Lisa Ekus-Saffer.

The United States of Canning

That's the title of my debut piece on Huffington Post.

Cooking Up a Canvolution

For the past five weeks, I've been hunkered down with my latest project, Canning Across America (CAA).




With the founding group in Seattle, CAA is a nationwide collective of cooks, gardeners and food lovers committed to the revival of the lost art of "putting up" food. We've put together a snazzy Web site with recipes from chefs, canning how-to, safety info and inspiration all around. Stop by and see us! This week, we've got a groovy online discount for supplies made possible by Sur La Table.

Won't you join us?
