Dear Friends,

I'm thrilled to tell you that in this June's Bon Appetit Magazine I wrote a 3 menu Ultimate Summer Party Guide.

I think it looks wonderful. Check out the gazpacho photo above from Bon Appetit. I hope you will try it. If you can't find it you can still enjoy all of the recipes with this link http://www.bonappetit.com/magazine/2009/06/ultimate_summer_party_guide.

I have been busy traveling and finding new ideas for my new book that I am just beginning to write, Seriously Simple Parties. You can find out what I have been up to on my blog. If you have any great party ideas, send them along.  As always, have fun in the kitchen.

Diane
