Chef Amanda Glover: Sweetie: Bake Your Day: Sweet & Savory Baked Goods Anyone Can Make

Book Signing and digital Illustration demonstration on Sunday, January 21, 2018 at 3:00 p.m.
​The event is free and open to the public.

Throughout this book, which is  playfully illustrated by Raheem Nelson, the reader will discover tips on using high quality and local ingredients. Equipment is kept to a minimum, making the recipes accessible to any avid home baker. All this in the spirit of Amanda who believes that anyone can bake!
 
Chef Glover is best known for her baking business, Amanda Bakes. After graduation from the Culinary Institute of America, she worked at the Mayflower Inn In Washington, CT where her love for the art of baking and pastry began.  She further honed her skills as a pastry chef at the famed European patisserie Belgique in Kent, a four-year stint resulting in a well-developed repertoire in breads, chocolate making, and pastry production. Her next stop was at the venerable Winvian Resort in Morris, Connecticut. There she worked under the innovative and creative mind of Chef Chris Eddy. It was here she gained an appreciation for sustainable, locally sourced ingredients and products that would ultimately shape her worldview on the interconnectedness of a community built around food.
 
Deciding to go into business for herself, Ms. Glover discovered a beautiful converted Airstream, that she would eventually name “Sweetie” and Amanda Bakes was born.
 
Raheem "Ra" Nelson is an Apple certified iPad Artist with a background in Cartooning and Oil Painting. In this innovative digital session attendees will learn the fundamentals of how Ra creates a painting on a digital canvas using various applications. You'll also get an in depth look at the art behind the new cookbook.
 
Amanda Glover and Raheem Nelson will entertain a Q &A session, offer free tastings as well as sign books.

A portion of all proceeds will support FISH/Friends in Service to Humanity of Northwestern CT.  The mission of FISH NWCT is to provide the most basic of human needs- food, shelter and hope.  Since opening its doors in 1972, FISH has evolved into the largest emergency homeless shelter in the NWCT corner, providing families, individuals and veterans a safe and secure haven, as well as serving the residents of area communities as a food pantry.  Says the author, “As someone who has dedicated my life to making people happy with food, I want to sustain them as well. This book, thankfully, does both!”
