Cherry Books Cooking Demonstration – Saturday, July 9, 2011

7-9-11 I sing my song to the audience

Hey Young Chefs!

Yesterday I had a cooking demonstration and book signing at Cherry Books in Thibodeaux, LA. Before I start the demo, I sing my song “Cool Kids Cook” to the audience.

Then I cut the tomatoes.

After I added more ingredients to the Ninja, I poured in the salt.

Next, I served “Fresh from the Garden Salsa” to everybody. They ate ALL of the salsa. I’m glad they liked it!

Finally, I signed my cookbooks. I took take a picture with two of my fans.

I had an awesome time at Cherry Books! Everyone was so nice.

Cool Kids Cook and Go to Cherry Books!

My Cookbook, Eliana Cooks!, debuts in October! – Friday, September 3, 2010

Eliana Cooks! Cookbook

Hey Young Chefs!

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted but I have been working very hard! Lots of stuff has been going on…

First, my big announcement… My first cookbook, Eliana Cooks! Recipes for Creative Kids comes out next month. I am debuting it at the Southern Food and Beverage Museum in New Orleans on Saturday, October 9, 2010 at 2:00 p.m.

That’s the other BIG news! I was selected to be one of 13 Latinos photographed for an exhibit called “New Orleans Con Sabor Latino,” which means “New Orleans with Latin Flavor.” As part of the exhibit, I am doing one of 6 cooking demonstrations this fall. I will be demonstrating Cajun Cuban Sandwiches, which the audience gets to eat! Delicioso!

And guess what else? My sister, Soleil, who is a graphic designer, redesigned my logo. I LOVE it. It’s sooooo adorable!

My website will be freshened up too. I am also in the process of trying to bottle my new spice called “Sabor,” which means “Flavor” in Spanish. It’s an all-purpose seasoning salt, great on everything! I plan to have a whole line of Eliana’s Sabor Spices!

I hope to post a new video soon! Remember, cool kids cook and get creative in the kitchen!

Bon Appetit, Eliana
