I'll be in the nook by the bar, signing books and serving lemon meringue pie bites and homemade empanadas. Plus, the 1913 team is making a Rye Tai cocktail just for us. I’ll definitely raise my glass to that!

If you haven’t gotten your copy of My Life in Pies yet, now is a great opportunity. This book was truly a labor of love. It’s chock full of classic favorites and creative treats that will delight everyone at the dinner table. In addition to the the book, I'll be selling my cognac barrel-aged vanilla extract.
