My latest book (#48), Cooking with Judith-Comfort Foods Create WOW! Eating will be featured in the US March edition of Costco’s Costco Connection membership magazine that goes out to 15 million members each month. In April, the Canadian Costco Connection will include it in April, and 2 million members. My recipe for Rustic Italian Tortellini Soup is featured, perfect for Colorado’s winter months.
This is soooooo huge.
I’m working on two books as I write this: Appetizers with Judith: Yummy Nibbles and Starters that WOW! Your Guests that will be published in late spring and The Secret Awakening, book four in my historical fiction series. Over the Christmas holidays, I invited 40 friends over to graze through an array of tasty treats—all got the thumbs up for inclusion in the Appetizers with Judith book!
