I just re-read this post… Makes me grin to think about you and Doubt sitting around and waiting to hear from the publisher. Well, girl, stop holding your breath and get ready to do it all over again! Because they LOVED it and they WANT MORE! hehehe…

Thanks Miki! I’ll send you a copy – wet printing and all! Due to be on the shelves by Spring 2010. Not sure about the packager…publisher is Skyhorse Publishing, Inc. New York. The designer is LeAnna Weller Smith (wait till you see what she and my editor Ann Treistman have planned for the inside – it is beautiful!)

Congrats!

I want to do a review of this–looks fantastic, Laura. Who’s their packager? Soft mass or hardcover?

Hi Mari!

As far as I know it is derived from a natural fruit source. I did know the answer to this question when I first researched Sommersweet, but I’ve forgotten since then.

I can tell you however that I have the same trouble as you. Unnatural sweeteners cause me to grimace and gag – horrid stuff really. This is the first one I’ve tried that I enjoy. An easy replacement to sugar.

What is the ingredient in Sommersweet that makes it sweet? I have a real problem with artificial sweetners leaving a terrible taste in my mouth. I am curious what is the sweetner in sommerweet.

Do you have a webb site that has your recipes that are in your books. I have used many of them and then lost two of my favorites. Sweet potato muffins and sweet potato soup. Which books were they in. Love your books.

Comment on Loving Lucca, Italy by Chris

This picture of the arch is a stunning picture, I absolutely love it. The gate at the far end makes me want to see more!

I spent some in Italy awhile back, and can’t express how much I loved Lucca – it absolutely took over me.

That little city is such a hypnotic gem that I returned many, many, times. My favorite pastime was going to the gelato shop across the piazza from the Chiesa. There they had a wooden glider swing, the kind that four people could sit in and gently swing and talk or just pass the time, revelling in the magical atmosphere of the town.

I very much agree with Amber, it seems impossible to express how much the magical serenity and beauty of it calls back to you!

I know exactly how you felt. I, too, fell in love with Lucca and, with the exception of a half-day trip to the American Consulate in Florence, did not wish to leave to go elsewhere. It’s hard to explain to anyone who hasn’t been there, but that little town really gets under your skin and into your heart. I rented an apartment in Lucca for 2 weeks and settled in to shop, cook, talk and live like a local. I was acepted as a resident, rarely taken for a tourist, and made some good friends with whom I still correspond. It goes without saying that I will be going back as soon as humanly possible, and intend to retire there in the next couple of years.
