The Side Dish: Something Sweet Update, Reviews and Events
Well. This is kind of ridiculous, isn't it? When I wrote my first "Side Dish" post, I knew it wasn't realistic to expect a weekly series (I'm just not reliable enough, and have too much to do!) but I hoped it would be monthly. Bi-monthly maybe? But here we are. It's been over a year and I'm finally posting my second installment in "The Side Dish" series, but I do have an excuse. Although I didn't announce it here until much later, it was about the time that I wrote that post that I started writing my cookbook. Yeah, it was crazy hard keeping a secret that good for that long, but it's all been worth it, don'tcha think? Buy Something Sweet on Amazon |ArtScroll Well, it's all come full … [Read more...]
You’re Invited To…A Something Sweet Launch Party!
It all started a few months ago, when I announced my cookbook. A couple of fans on facebook suggested, half jokingly, that I should have a launch party and offer samples of my recipes to all of my readers. At the time, I laughed it off as an impossibility. I can't possibly make samples for all of my readers! But then, I couldn't let go of the idea, and a top Kosher grocery store here in New York stepped in and offered to host the party, so here we are. It's not in my home, and I am not personally making every sample, but this is finally a way for me to meet all of my fans, give you all some treats, and demo a few of my favorite recipes for you! So... Don't know about Breadberry … [Read more...]

Happy Fourth Birthday to Overtime Cook and a Big Giveaway!
It all started four years ago today. August 7th, 2011 was the day I published my first post here on Overtime Cook.I've written previously about how my blog got started. In short, I was bored (at least creatively) and needed a hobby. So I purchased the domain name overtimecook.com and posted my first recipe. Behold: Peanut Butter Truffle Stuffed Oreos. Not too bad for an iphone photo and a gal with zero experience! What started that day has become so much more than a hobby. It's become a life-changing passion. So much has happened in the last four years. Millions (literally!) of readers, a magazine column, a thriving food photography business, and lots of new friends. And now, of … [Read more...]
