Table Talk

Valerie — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 16:03:33 +0000

This morning I am heading over to Table Talk, a local live radio/TV show to share about the blog, and chat a little about my love, adoration and maybe even minor obsession with gorgeous, delicious vegetable platters for entertaining. I’d love for you to listen and be kind as I make one of my first forays into talk show land.

It can be heard live at 9:00 am on AM 1290 as well as on the Internet on www.nippers.com and www.aroundtheworldradio.com. If you are in Santa Barbara, Table Talk is also on the Cox “On Demand” channel under “Free Zone” and “Local.”

I’m stocking up on extra issues to give to out of town guests when they visit throughout the year, it has so many ideas for things to see and do in this special city.

I was truly honored to be invited to my dear friend Cat Cora‘s photo shoot for this month’s Oprah Magazine! We had a ton of fun hanging out eating Cat’s delicious food, and Coral Von Zumwalt’s photos are absolutely stunning. The article is posted at Oprah.com, along with all of the recipes from the dinner. Whether you grab it on the news stand, or get it online, it’s definitely worth a read!
