I found your book in one of my favorite places, the Tattered Cover Bookstore, while on vacation in Denver, Co. If you've never been, I think you might like it. They house a rustic cafe which sells a few too many things labeled 'vegan', and 'wheat-free', but their Cookbook section is large, and at the front of the store (not hidden away upstairs). There, a top a high shelf, your book leapt out at me, and I had to have it. It looked so completely at home there, at the Tattered Cover, like maybe the author wrote it in the back room, or behind the counter at the cafe.

I'm not much of a 'foodie' in the cooking sense, though I love to eat and try new things. While I will bake, my husband prepares most of our evening meals. He's such a good cook (and by 5:00 I just want to be pampered), that whole weeks will go by and the only thing I prepare in the kitchen is breakfast.

My son (Avery, he's 3) can be a tough breakfast customer; he doesn't like cereal, only eats eggs once in a while, and calls cheese “dirty” and wants it removed from everything (including pizza). So, this morning I tried your French Toast recipe with some day-old artisan bread from Jewel, and HELLO, NURSE, was it good. Avery gobbled it down, barely breathing in between bites.

So, congrats… you have hooked another family on the glorious tradition of French Toast a la copious amounts of oil.

Thank you for sharing, and best of luck with everything!!

I picked up your book today and have already begun reading…so excited!
