Hi Lisa,
I just came across your book Baking Chocolate Cupcakes and Brownies: A Beginner’s Guide and wanted to congratulate you. It’s such a refreshing and inspiring guide — especially how you’ve taken readers from boxed mixes to the joy of baking from scratch.
I love how you not only share step-by-step recipes, but also your own journey, photography, and helpful tips. The creativity behind treats like Blueberry Brownies and Peppermint Swirl Cupcakes is truly mouthwatering, and your focus on natural ingredients makes baking approachable yet elevated.
Your passion for baking and teaching shines through on every page. Wishing you continued success as your books inspire more people to discover the fun of baking from scratch!
Warm regards,

Pink Lemonade Macarons & Lemon [Curd] Buttercream Filling The Recipe (Article) - 2/26/2017 7:07:43 AM
My mother made coconut macaroons that were yummy. She also made lemon cake from real lemons that served as my twin brother and my birthday cake for many years.
Your recipes are much more exotic than hers. I have posted her handwritten recipes on my website in her honor.

Ghirardelli Chocolate Supreme Brownie Mix Review (Article) - 4/8/2014 7:56:43 AM
I highly recommend the Alice B. Toklas recipe. ;-) Actually, I have cut out the middleman and eat Ghirardelli dark chocolate regularly. I recommend it over Hershey's overly sweet and milky versions of dark chocolate.
I have just finished scanning nearly 500 meticulously written recipes that my mother gathered over 60 years and was producing from her kitchen until last year when she entered assisted-living and other people's cooking at 89. Many of these recipes remind me of the mouthwatering delights she baked for us, including fresh bread from scratch up until recently. A busy working mother, she wasn't adverse to serving us 10¢ packages of Kraft macaroni and cheese for lunch, buying white bread with no nutrition that we enjoyed making toast with, and making chocolate cake quickly with a Betty Crocker cake mix.
I have nearly finished with the links, and will post the recipes soon on my website. Some of the old ones are the most remembered.

Paid Blog Tours are a Waste of Time & Money (Article) - 3/11/2014 9:31:29 AM
Ronald,
I especially agree with this: "Most paid book marketing, regardless of the type, isn't worth the money. Many companies are profiting from the eagerness of authors to promote their books."

Most paid book marketing, regardless of the type, isn't worth the money. Many companies are profiting from the eagerness of authors to promote their books. Word-of-mouth is the best promotion. If your books are good, the word will spread through emails, Facebook, and the old-fashioned way of people talking, and they will eventually make you famous enough so that your name alone will sell your books. But don't quit your day job.
