Milestone: First Appearance in Print

Work hard enough long enough in a town of this size and people will come to know you. . .

Well, that has worked for Dave Bailey anyway whose coattails I am happy to ride on. The good thing about being one of the Go-To-Guys in the Bailey's Empire is that I get assignments such as: "submit 3 recipes representing our restaurants, have them tested, typed and sent by the end of the day."

Having graduated from a liberal arts college I have deep experience with procrastination and I know how to move a project quickly through to completion! (Hint: this involves procrastinating on OTHER projects.)

If you buy this book you will get 200+ recipes from St. Louis Chefs, nicely photographed and formatted for ease of use in a softcover binding.

My contributions were:

Pancakes with Honey Goat Cheese Mousse (Rooster)

Chocolate-Hazelnut Tarts with Raspberries and Frangelico (Bailey's Chocolate Bar)

Gougeres filled with Smoky Spicy Egg Salad (Fifth Wheel Catering)

A chunk of the profits go to Operation Food Search, a charity with a big regional impact.

"Each month, Operation Food Search distributes more than 2 million pounds of food and necessities to 270 community partners in 25 counties of Missouri and Illinois and the City of St. Louis.  Operation Food Search feeds approximately 150,000 people every single month - nearly half of these recipients are children."
