“Couscous, the food so nice, they named it twice”
from the film Pineapple Express
What better way to enjoy great food and discover new dishes and new and not so new local venues than to attend this year’s Philadelphia Food Show at the Valley Forge convention Center.
This year my booth will be a pop-up sampling booth of recipes from my books along with book signings.
I am really honored to be part of this year’s event I will be signing copies of my latest book and sampling some delicious recipes with one or more couscous dishes to share for tasting!
Please stop by and say Hi!
