What's New?

Katie was a Guest on NECN again!

On December 21, 2009, I was a guest on NECN’s Morning Report. I demonstrated how to make Chicken Noodle Soup and recommended using a vacuum seal product to freeze any leftover soup. While the segment was only a few minutes - it takes a lot of time to prepare to be on TV! These are some of the things I have to organize before making a TV appearance.

  • Decide on recipe to demonstrate
  • Make Make several batches of recipe so I can…
    • Show the final product
    • Show the different stages of the recipe
    • Share recipe with staff at the station
  • Layout all of the supplies, including a tablecloth, a stand with a copy of the cookbook, all needed utensils to demonstrate the recipe
  • Practice - to make sure you have all of the needed supplies and utensils
  • Pack up all of the above the night before
  • The morning of the show - leave for the station allowing plenty of time in case there are traffic or inclement weather issues - you do not want to be late!!!

You can watch a video of the segment on the NECN website!

The Passing of Atticus Harley Berg Wilton Peterson

It is with great sadness that I share the news that Atticus passed away in December 2009. He was 12 ˝ years old and while he showed signs of aging, he was active and social until the end. He is missed - by many.


Katie Got Married!
I am excited to share the news that I got married to David Peterson on September 26, 2009! We had an outdoor ceremony with perfect weather at Maudslay State Park in Newburyport, MA and a reception at 10 Center Street, also in Newburyport, MA. We have moved to Topsfield, MA and I have changed my name to Katie Peterson, but Cooking with Katie, Inc.’s contact information is the same.

Passing of Putty
It is with great sadness that I report that Putty passed away on Labor Day – Monday, September 7, 2009. She was 13 years old – very unusual for an English bulldog to reach such an age. She was a sweetheart and will be sorely missed.

Mary and Katie at age 12

Mary B. Devine
April 30, 1932 - May 16, 2008

It is with great sadness that I inform you that Mary B. Devine passed away. I dedicated my first cookbook to her because she was my first culinary instructor and was a great family friend. Mary taught me how to make many recipes including Angle Food Cake with Chocolate Whipped Frosting, Eclairs and various types of cookies. I have fond memories of the times she fostered litters of kittens for the SPCA or when she made cut-out sugar cookies for my class when I was in elementary school. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Anniversary!

We are celebrating an important anniversary - 2 years ago this month (May 2006) "You're the Cook! A guide to mixing it up in the kitchen" was published. What have we been up to over the past two years....

100+ hands-on cooking classes at libraries ~ 25+ hands-on classes at bookstores ~ over 60 radio show guest appearances ~ 10 TV guest appearances ~ 30 + Barnes & Noble author signing events ~ 15 + guest appearances at farm stands & farmers markets!

Cooking Series at the Haverhill Public Library

The Haverhill Public Library in Haverhill, MA received a EqualAccess Libraries (TM) grant - given by the EqualAccess Libraries Institute: a program of Libraries for the Future and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners to conduct programs targeting 10 - 15 year olds that focus on health. I conducted 5 cooking classes, two of which were designed to introduce and test recipes for a future cookbook #2! The Haverhill Gazette ran a wonderful full page article about the program and the following are a few of the comments the students wrote about the class on a survey.

the cooking class was wonderful ~ very nice ~ the class was great ~
~ I learned a lot and had sooo much fun ~ it was fun ~ it was great
