Grilled Summer Salad with Chicken and Spicy Cashew Dressing Recipe

Grilled Summer Salad with Chicken and Spicy Cashew Dressing | Pamela Salzman

I keep doing this thing where I look at the calendar and something major is tomorrow or coming up really soon. Oh no, Father’s Day is tomorrow and I haven’t sent cards or gifts! I am in Seattle right now and then en route to Portland, and I just realized July 4th is on Tuesday. Not only do I not know where we’re going or how we’re celebrating, I haven’t photographed a single striped pie or red, white, and blue fruit plate!! Well friends, this salad will have to do. There’s not a smidge of red, white or blue in it, but I can guarantee this recipe from my new cookbook, “Kitchen Matters,” will be the STAR of your 4th of July BBQ.

Dinner Planner – Week of June 26th, 2017

It’s nice to be home this weekend before I take off again. I’m catching up on emails, snail mail and shooting some recipes for the blog. I do have some fun upcoming events and such that I can tell you about:

Monday, June 26th Set your DVR’s for my Hallmark Home & Family appearance! That show is tons of fun. I am making the wild halibut burgers from my cookbook. Please check your local listings for times. On the west coast, the show airs at 10:00 am.

But we’ve still got to eat! Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Strawberry-Banana Frozen Yogurt Bark Recipe

Strawberry-Banana Frozen Yogurt Bark | Pamela Salzman

It has been quite a week! I had a quick trip to New York where I was able to meet some editors, taped a bunch of videos for NBCNewsBetter, and did a cooking segment out on the Plaza for The Today Show. Yesterday, I returned to my favorite local LA show, KTLA morning news to cook from the book, did a fun Facebook Live with my friend Catherine McCord from Weelicious, and spent the evening at Pages Bookstore in Manhattan Beach for a fabulous party celebrating my new book. Pages, by the way, is the only source for signed copies of my book! Right now I am taping a cooking segment at Hallmark’s Home & Family which will air on Monday. So exciting!

Chickpea Socca with Mediterranean Salad Recipe

I’m back in New York and I am super excited because I’m doing a cooking segment on The TODAY Show on Wednesday. It will be in the 8:00 am hour (usually after 8:30), so set your DVR’s! I’ll be doing a demo of two recipes from my new cookbook.

Dinner Planner: Week of June 19th, 2017

Happy Father’s Day!! I hope you are all doing something wonderful to celebrate all the great dads out there!

It is officially summer in my house since Mr. Picky finished school this week. Yippee!! No more making lunches at either 9 o’clock at night or 6 o’clock in the morning!! Perfect timing as I have quite a few activities this week to keep me busy.

Wednesday, June 21st tune into The TODAY Show in the 8:00 hour for a cooking segment I am doing from my new cookbook! (The cooking segments are usually after 8:30 am.)

Thursday June 22nd 10:20-ish am I’ll be on KTLA in Los Angeles for more cooking from the book

12:45 pm PST I am cooking on Facebook Live with Catherine McCord from Weelicious!

7:00 pm Book party at Pages Bookstore, Manhattan Beach. It’s a free event, but please RSVP. Also, if you can’t get to Pages, but you’d still like a signed book, you can order from them and they’ll ship it to you!

Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Vegetarian Eggplant Meatballs Recipe

The book process is a long one and similar to online dating. You parade yourself around vulnerably, putting your best assets forward, hoping the right companion will ask you for a date. You might have to kiss a few frogs before you find Mr. Right and then you’re an item. DaCapo Lifelong Books and I dated a bit before we got together in August of 2015 and the rest is history!

My New Book is Here!

It is with much anticipation, excitement, and pride that I can finally announce that my new book, Kitchen Matters, has arrived!!! In my last post, I compared writing a book to having a baby. But in reality, this book was brewing for longer than a baby and this book was not for me, but for all of you! I absolutely love teaching cooking classes and I wish I could see all of you in the kitchen. Since that is not entirely possible, I wrote this book instead!

Dinner Planner: Week of June 12, 2017

I’ve given birth to three children, and I still remember the feeling of anticipation right before they each arrived. Maybe you have experienced the same — simultaneous waves of excitement, nervousness, joy and pride. If you’ve hung around here long enough, you know that I am not about to have a baby, but instead a new book, my first. And you know what? It’s almost the same as having another baby! Actually, my beautiful new book was delivered into my anxious hands last week and I could not be more excited and more proud for you to meet it! The book is officially published this Tuesday and I hope you’ll do me the honor of ordering a copy (Amazon or a signed copy from my local bookstore.) Makes a great graduation, teacher, or Father’s Day gift!

In the meantime, I have to be super organized the next few weeks. I’m in New York the early part of this week and again next week. Also, I have 2 LA events that you are invited to attend this week and then 2 more after this week:

Thursday, June 15th 6-8pm at Thomas Hayes Studio in Hollywood. Moderated by Suzanne Hill of The Chalkboard Mag. Free, but an RSVP is required. Click here for details.
