Had an absolutely wonderful time at the absolutely gorgeous local launch, in my home town of Armidale, of The Paris Cooking School , which was held at beautiful Cafe Patisserie Armidale, in collaboration with fantastic Reader’s Companion. A big, warm, lively crowd attended, champagne(the real thing!) flowed, gorgeous mini strawberry tarts and mini eclairs created by master patissier Nathan Walker disappeared like lightning, and many many books were bought! was very busy signing and chatting to all the lovely people who came, some who I know personally, many others who don’t know me but were intrigued by the sound of the book, which they had heard about from the local press, radio and word of mouth!

Thank you so much to Nathan and Enora from Cafe Patisserie, to Michelle from Reader’s Companion, and to everyone who came. You made it such a superlative event and I am still on cloud nine about it!
