Last January, I met fellow food blogger Brandon of Brandon Eats for the very first time (although I’ve been a long-time fan of her blog) after I won the saffron and garlic chicken prize from the ever successful Menu for Hope IV. I was happy she could stay and chat for a while about our common obsession – food, what else? During the course of our wonderful conversation, I also summoned the courage to offer her some of my macarons. For those of you who don’t know, Brandon is a well-known food critic here in the Richmond, Va area. I was praying that she would like my macarons. And I’m lucky she did for she wrote a flattering blurb about them in this month’s issue of Belle!
My thanks to Brandon and to Belle for featuring me in their Style and Substance section!
