A Book Review

Daily Cookie Cover06-348-480

Bloggers aren’t just blogging anymore. Nope, they’re writing cookbooks, and the latest entry is from Anna Ginsberg, of the blog Cookie Madness. I was very pleased to receive a review copy of Ms. Ginsberg’s book, The Daily Cookie: 365 Tempting Treats for the Sweetest Year of Your Life, just in time for holiday baking and cookie exchanges.

In 2005 Ms. Ginsberg started blogging, and she never looked back. After she accomplished her goal of baking a batch of cookies every day for an entire year she moved on to other baked goods, posting something new almost every day.

New Name – New Address

Posted September 21, 2012 By Adri

WEB SITE NEWS – NEW NAME – WE’VE MOVED!

Welcome to AdriBarrCrocetti.com

Its me!

Yes, I have a new name and a new web address. The internet is a crowded place, and there are just too many sites called The Front Burner. The stovetop’s full, and it is time for a name change.

Everything else will remain the same – home cooked Italian food and recipes, sources for fine Italian ingredients and liquor (lots of liquor) and family reminiscences.

Please set your spam filters and update your bookmarks. And I beg your indulgence during the changeover. Some pages might look a little funny or take longer than usual to load. Bart is working hard to get everything updated.

I have lots of projects planned for Fall and the upcoming holidays, so I invite you to visit often.

Thanks for stopping by, leave a comment or you can email me at Adri@AdriBarrCrocetti.com

Make an Americano and let’s toast to a smooth transition!

There’s no doubt about it. Come summer, the luscious peach rocks the fruit world. Succulent and heavily scented, sporting their peachy blush, they are piled high at Farmer’s Markets and grocery stores everywhere. Their message is “Summer has Arrived.” Read more… »
