A few years ago I started a group called Agave Girls, for women who appreciate tequila. I mean 100% agave tequila – not the aspirin-inducing kind we remember from college days. It wasn’t long before the buzz about Agave Girls gained national attention (and tequila became the fastest growing spirit in the U.S.), and pretty soon my agent called to say my book proposal for TEQUILA: A Guide to Types, Flights, Cocktails and Bites was accepted! You can imagine how happy I was!

TEQUILA is an aficionados guide with 60+ recipes for both cocktails and food! One of the cocktails I created is the Surly Temple, which the media is going crazy over and other recipes were contributed by top tequila bartenders around the country. Try the heavenly Prado cocktail – it pairs perfectly with my tequila-infused recipes including savory Chorizo Hand Pies and incredibly delicious Coco Loco Tequila Cupcakes.

I’m so excited about TEQUILA that I’m celebrating with a bunch of events:

• TEQUILA Book Launch Fiesta - April 19th at Tres Agaves in San Francisco. Think margaritas, chips & salsa, a guided "vertical" tasting of Partida Tequila, and of course I’ll sign copies of TEQUILA! Click here to RSVP for the TEQUILA launch party. (space is limited)
  
  
• Book Signings & Cooking Demonstrations at Williams-Sonoma Union Square in San Francisco and Holyoke, MA. See my calendar for details.
  
  
• TEQUILA Weekend Cooking Course in San Francisco. Join me for a tequila-inspired weekend of cooking in my kitchen. Olé!

Join me for one or more TEQUILA events!
