Tuesday night Bridg and I attended a presentation by
Sarah Kramer of Garden of Eden, La Dolce Vegan and How It All Vegan cookbook fame. To my everlasting shame, I must admit, I don't have any of these cookbooks, but Bridget does and I have eaten great meals she has cooked from them and I have stolen a few recipes out of them. To my redeeming value though, they are on my 'To Get' list and I will have them one day. Ok, obligatory disclaimer is out of the way. The event was sponsored by
SARO (Syracuse Animal Rights Organization) and the Commitee on Women and Art. There was a HUGE crowd. Like I mean HUGE. Easily well over 100 people, maybe even close to 150. Sarah demonstrated a cream of tomato soup cake from one of her cookbooks and then took questions from the audience. She was very relaxed (especially for someone whose luggage was lost by the airlines!), charming, funny and irreverent.
Bridget and Sarah:
Two random thoughts:
1)My pics don't do her justice, but Sarah Kramer is gorgeous! I mean, gorgeous! Small and petite, absolutely beautiful skin. And her hair......her hair.....I have some serious hair envy going on. I felt like a huge, frizzy haired, zitty, behemoth next to her LOL
2)Someone bought some cupcakes made from the same recipe that Sarah demonstrated and those college kids scarfed all them up before we could even make our way to the table!
It was a great night and a great event. Kudos to SARO! It was well worth venturing up to the campus and fighting for a parking space. LOL

What a fun thing to do. Sounds like a great time.
Awesome sleeve Sarah has there, too!
Thanks for taking the picture Trac!
Sounds so fun! I wish I could have made the Syracuse event too!
P.S. to my eternal shame, I own very few cookbooks. I have a fear of clutter and stuff, so when I need a recipe, I go to the library or the bookstore and copy it down- if I was a cookbook author, I'd want to shoot people like me!
Super cool!! That must have been quite an evening. Sorry you missed out on the cupcakes! I'd've been bummed out, but then i love cupcakes! I'm sure being there and watching/seeing Sarah K. was fabulous! I have one of her cookbooks and i love it! It's wonderful that you went, Trac, very nice.
Sounds like it was a great event. I also have her books on my "to buy" list. (hangs head in shame). I better get on it too, 'cause I've made just about everything in Vive le Vegan. Yum!
Thanks for sharing your pics. I think you both look gorgeous!
