Huh? She wasn't in the one I got last week....

Linda

Check her out on the site.

Here is a link that might be useful: Sharon on Penzey's Web Site

wooo hooo a celeb amongst us!

Very cool!! I don't think I've gotten my latest Penzey's catalog yet. Or else it's sitting in my unsorted pile of mail!!

Congrats Sharon!!!

Oh my!! I hope they paid you!!!!
Fabulous "glamor shot"....
I need to dig the catalog out of the recycle... and frame that picture!

How cool! Jerry (DH) thinks it's cool, too, and want's to know how it happened. So do I.

Sally

Well, hot damn! That is just too cool! (Even tho it is not in my latest catalog! LOL)

Linda

Hot darn, I got my magazine today and what do I find? Sharon on page 9, with her herbed pork loin recipe.

I think that's the same stuff she made when we were there with Woodie and Ken, it was delicious, BTW.

It's a different picture than the website too. Wow, a celebrity!

Annie

Woo hoo Sharon! Congratulations and we want to hear all about it!

How exciting! Congrats Sharon!!

OMG WTG GF!!!!

How neat is that. Congrats Sharon.

Ooh, I just opened it and now I "know" someone famous.

TFS and WD Sharon

LOL! Nobody is more suprised than me!

It just sorta evolved. Mid summer I got an email from penzey's asking me if I had any Fall recipes I'd like to share. No idea why they contacted me but I suspect that the "size" of my last order rang a bell! LOL

I told them I really didn't have many "real"recipes that used dried herbs and spices. I cook with them a lot but mostly in recipe that I just do, like chile, pasta sauces, casseroles, soups etc...not dishes with exact recipes.

I mentioned that my favourite Fall meal used lots of fresh herbs and that I had made it with dried herbs but didn't have exact measurments. She talked me into sending it to her with what I thought was the right ratio and then they cooked it in their test kitchen and loved it.

As for the Spanikopita, she also asked me to share any appetizer recipe that I felt was a speciality of mine, so I did.

She also asked me for a picture and to answer a few questions. From my answers they formed the "blurb". The food pictures are from their test kitchens.

They were very pleasant and lots of fun to deal with

Guess I should sign up for the catalougue LOL!!!

Congrats, Sharon!

VERY cool!!!!!!! so they tested your pork too? I don't blame them for sharing it. :-) so are the pork loin and the spanikopita in the magazine? I don't get it. boo hoo.

Well WOW!!! That's just so neat! What a compliment to your cooking!

Grace

Very cool! Congrats, Sharon! You look great in the picture :)

OMG - very cool! I have never ordered from them due to shipping costs. Sounds like you did the right thing ordering a very large order! You look fabbo of course!

janet

Susprise to me.....

I don;t know how they do their catalougue but I just found that they included thios recipe of mine too! LOL

Woodie, not ...I changed the name! LOL

Good for you Sharon!

SharonCb

How exciting! Congratulations -

Very cool! I was so impressed that they use real customers and real recipes in their advertising, that I just signed up for a catalog.

Sharon, that is so cool! You're a Spice Girl!

That's so cool!! Congrats!!!
We are all so proud of you Sharon...

Linda

That's wonderful Sharon! I love love love Penzeys, have been buying spices from them since first visiting with cooking forum locals not long after I moved here. I enjoy their catalogs and recipes and stories.

I just got my magazine today and saw your picture and pork loin recipe, it sounds good.

Last spring I got an email from Penzey's asking for BBQ recipes to share. I intended to send in one or two, but like alot of other things I never got around to it.

Congratulations to you!

Wow! How cool is that! I don't know why I don't get Penzey's anymore. I'll have to find a copy! Congrats!!

Does this really serve 120 people? What's the serving size? I'd like to make it but that seems to be a large amount

Whoo Hoo Sharon! Way to go girl! I love the picture. We used to get a Penzey's catalog but I'm not sure why we don't get it any more...

Amazing layout, it's very enticing. I just had those appetizers at a favorite greek restaurant lately, I just might try to make them.

Congrats Sharon!

We already know you are a star - and now you are a famous celebrity too!

Alexa

This is so cool--our own Sharon a cooking celeb!size>

I did get a story in Penzey's several years ago but it had nothing to do with my cooking skills (or lack of). It was about how I hijacked a bus to get to the only Penzey's in my state.

LOL Cathy!!!

Ideefixe, I've never counted the pieces (they are "two bite size" appetizers so it's not a per person serving).

Each sheet of phyllo makes 5 triangles (I often make 4 per sheet) so the total recipe is 5 X number of sheets in the box.

It does make quite a few but they freeze beautifully so I love to have them on hand especially over the holidays.

So, Chase, you want me to send you my copy of the magazine? Elery gets one too, so does Amanda and my mother, so I can get my hands on another copy or two. I just got a coupon for a free jar of poultry seasoning on the front of this catalog, free Cinnamon on the last one, so I need to take a trip there anyway, I could pick up ANOTHER issue of the catalog there. (grin)

Let's see, I need cinnamon, I need bay leaves, I need cumin, I need chipotle powder. Yup, I need to take a trip to Penzey's.....

Annie

How cool to have Penzey's using your recipes in their test kitchens and loving it, not that anyone wouldn't love one of your recipes. I don't subscribe, so I've only seen the on line version. I'll save that Spanikopita recipe. I've never made it before, but it always looks so good.

Congrats again, Sharon.

Sally

Congrats Sharon thatÂs very cool. I donÂt get the catalog anymore either not sure why. I think IÂll give them a call and request one.

Claudia

Yea, I just got my Chase issue! WOW, your recipe is even highlighted on the cover.

I'm taking this to a lunch get together tomorrow with family members; we are reviewing the Thanksgiving menu. Hey, I might just be looking through the catalog for some menu ideas and say "hey, here is my friend Sharon, isn't that nice". Then let's see them do their usual eye rolling at mention of my internet cooking friends.

Cathy

How did I miss this? I'm so proud of you, Sharon!

Sharon - BIG congratulations to you! Its terrific to be recognized that way - how exciting - wish I had gotten your autograph when we visited :)

Ohmygard!!!! That is so kewwwlllllllllll!!!!!

Great picture!!!! Awesome!!!!

Ladies, it's really not that big a deal it's the Penzey's catalouge not Gourmet! LOL My daughter said " Mom, what's with that? You make the pork all the time and I don't like the Spanikopita......brat! LOL Mind you the Phyllo pizza is a favourite of her and all her friends.

I haven't seen the catalogue yet, they are mailing it to me at home and I'm at the cottage, so I have no idea what is in the mag vs on the website. I think the Spanikopita is only on the website but that the pork and the phyllo pizza are in the catalogue...but maybe not.

Anyhow, it was fun.

It IS a big deal. You're published!

Wow, can I have your autograph?!! :)

How cool is that!! Congrats to you Sharon! I agree, that is a great pic of you.

Who needs an autograph??? I've got pics from MM and the 66 adventure this year... I'll leave it at that. LOLOLOLOL!

David

I just got my catalog today too.....And there you are !!!

It's very cool!! I "know" you...LOL

Just received my catalog, and there you were! So glad it was mentioned on the forum so I didn't miss it. Very cool!

Just got my newest catalog today and sure enough, There's our Sharon!

Very nice picture, and great story, Sharon!

Linda

That's pretty darn awesome! Congrats, and I hope you're in the issue I receive!
Wooohooo!
