Paula Deen To Storm Sarasota

Posted Nov 15, 2006 by Jeff Houck

Jennifer McPheeters, events coordinator for Sarasota News & Books wrote this morning to say she’s had a huge response to my item in A Taste of The Stew about Paula Deen’s appearance Dec. 12 at the store. Deen is coming as part of a book tour to promote “Paula Deen Celebrates! Best Dishes and Best Wishes for the Best Times of Your Life” (Simon & Schuster, $16.50)

She asked that I pass along this notation:

She’ll be here exactly two hours—6-8 PM—on 12/12.  She’ll briefly address the crowd, and then sign books.  She WILL NOT personalize - only a signature - and they have asked that we limit it to two books per person.

For what it’s worth, Mother-In-Law of the Stew made the Savannah Sheet Cake from the book for a birthday party last weekend. It was so good, I thought I had shoplifted with my mouth.
