Fire Rescue East Trade Show this Weekend!

This weekend I will be joining Keith Tyson, President of the Florida Chapter of the Firefighter Cancer Support Network, in Daytona Beach for the annual Fire Rescue East Trade Show. There will be many EMS classes, educational seminars and a wide variety of vendors all there to support and help firefighters nationwide.  And the cookbook will be there as well!!

Good Chili and Lots of Fun over at the 3rd Annual Chili Day in Cutler Bay!

I was fortunate enough to attend the 3rd annual Chili Day in Cutler Bay this year over at the 

Cutler Ridge Park in Miami. The great chef Kurt Kaufmann was representing Aerial Station 34 

and placed 3rd in the Firefighter Division with his awesome Avocado Chili, 

a recipe featured in the cookbook!! (page 104) 

It was a fun day filled with good food, fun people, great music and even better sales. 

Thanks to all those that came out to support the department and the book!

My very helpful salesman for the day Omar giving his presentation about the book to some Chili Day customers.

 Sales, Sales and More Sales!

Book signing was a fun part of the day too.

There was great food everywhere and I even got to sample some great mango salsa too!

Kurt even got a book sale too!

Thanks again to all those that came out for a great day in the park!

Chili Day in Cutler Bay!

Come on out to the Cutler Ridge Park this Saturday afternoon (11am-3pm) to sample some great food, enjoy some live entertainment and buy yourself an autographed copy of the Miami-Dade Firefighter Cookbook!

First 3 days of sales are a success!

With Christmas around the corner I was looking to jumpstart my cookbook launch with a bang and succeeded at the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Headquarters where firefighters, "chefs", chiefs and office workers alike came out to support the book.
