Signing the cookbook, teaching the class and eating well.
Jill and I are honored and thrilled that our new cookbook was selected for the KMOX Charlie Brennan & Fontbonne University Book Club, Book of the Month! We had a great time getting to know Charlie in the KMOX radio studio last Friday. Jill and I were on air for about 20 minutes and we discussed everything from recipes to birds in our blueberry field! We even took a few calls from listeners. Very fun!
Later that afternoon, we hosted 110 KMOX listeners in the cooking classroom at Eckert’s Country Store. Charlie kicked off our cooking demonstration and tasting with his typical excitement and energy.
Although it was hard to choose, Jill and I narrowed it down to three recipes to feature from the Eckert Family Summer Cookbook. I am sharing the one we started with because it is such a great appetizer! Sweet peaches, creamy ricotta and salty prosciutto partner so deliciously. We sure hope you enjoy it as much as our friends from KMOX did.
Thank you Charlie Brennan and KMOX for a fun day of recipe talk!!
Eat well,
Angie
