Just a reminder to IACP members that I will be giving a Webinar on "The Food Writers as Culinary Chameleon" this Wednesday at 12 noon EST.  You do have to be an IACP member to attend.  Here's the link with the pertinent information.  I will be talking about how today's food writers have to be aware of the many changes in our field, and how to change your skin to get work.  I hope to "see" you there! 

Last week, I was the presenter in a podcast on how to stock your pantry for holiday entertaining.  The clients included Frito-Lay Tostitos, Idahoan Mashed Potatoes, Bauducco Panettone, Soda Stream Home Soda Maker, and  Soda sSkyBar One Wine Chiller (available at Bed, Bath and Beyond).  To see the podcast, click here.
