Joy the Baker Meets Fancy Food

fancy food

I’ve been at the Fancy Food Show in San Francisco all weekend.  We have some things we should discuss: flavored sugars, Barefoot Contessa and just how seriously some people take their bottled water.

More later.

Wow, I have always thought that the Barefoot Contessa would smell really amazing. Soft. Really I can’t describe it any other way.

I LOVE the Fancy Food Show. Two years ago it was the Year of the Flavored Salt. This year is the Year of the Bottled Waters? I had the pleasure of a quick chat with The Barefoot Contessa when I was there. She was lovely, approachable and it was…..wow!! Enjoy!

My dad was at the Fancy Food Show, too! He works for Wheat Valley Bakery that makes nothing but lavash bread. He brought home tons of great samples, and some “sexy” water…I’m going to have to tag along next year!

Okay, so I should’ve researched some festivals in NY. However, I am still jealous, and moving to the west coast.

Barefoot Contessa?! Really, you met her? Oh wow, I love her so much. I got an autographer Barefoot in Paris book for Christmas, but I’ve never actually met her. Can’t wait for the full scoop!
