The best compliment I’ve received in a while! William Grimes of the New York Times declares ‘Vintage Cakes’ the sexiest book of the year: ”If the recipe names in Richardson’s book — like “maple pecan chiffon cake with brown butter icing” — seem seductive, the photographs are downright pornographic. Forget “Fifty Shades of Grey.” This is the year’s sexiest book.” Thank you Mr. Grimes!

Many thanks to the dream team involved for their great company, delicious food and abundant talent:  Robyn Valarik food styling, Emma Boys and Amy Marr at Weldon Owen Publishing, and Leigh Noe on props. Italian braised short ribs… Baked kale and eggs… Calamari Fra Diavolo… So good.

Vintage Cakes for Ten Speed Press!  I loved collaborating with Julie Richardson of Baker and Spice on this book- she and her recipes are wonderful. Check out her bakery next time you’re in Portland- if only she would open an outpost in my SF neighborhood! Of course this was a great gig because we ate cake everyday, but I especially loved working with this fantastic team- a big thanks to Robyn Valarik for food styling, Ethel Brennan on props and art director Toni Tajima.

Soup Galore! My latest cookbook for Williams-Sonoma








Here’s a preview of my latest cookbook for Williams-Sonoma and Weldon Owen Publishing, available in January (and in some Williams-Sonoma stores already). The recipes are amazing, thanks to the lovely Kate McMillan. The gorgeous food styling is by Robyn Valarik. I always love working with the Weldon Owen team, and my favorite photo assistant, David Bornfriend. Here’s a little behind the scenes video- enjoy!
