Howdy Everyone, I'm super excited to let you know The Happy Baker has just won the Gourmand World Cookbook Award for best Canadian dessert cookbook. Yippee ... In February in Paris The Happy Baker book will be competing against a number of other countries in the same category for best dessert cookbook in the world. The winner will be announced February 11th 2010. Thank you to my food photographer Jason Hervey, designer Sandy Peic, prop stylist Eden Bluetsein and editor Carla Lucchetta your hard work was very much appreciated! ... I'm hoping I can make it out to Paris for the awards ceremony and cookbook fair that follows. A single and sassy girl in Paris for Valentine's Day ... I feel another chapter for my next book coming on. Bonjour Paris!!
