Three Wise Women The Cookbook - Launch (Bonus: Christmas Menu)

Three Wise Women The Cookbook - Launch (Bonus: Christmas Menu)

My first book Three Wise Women was officially launched Thursday. And wow! What a thrill, what a whirlwind of richly spiced Christmas food, chilled drinks and love from supporters, friends and family.

Two of the Three Wise Women even came along as special guests: my Granny Betty Carter and my husband's grandma Rhyle Parker.

I was also thrilled that almost every morsel of food I served had disappeared by the time the party wound up. It's every hosts' goal.

So here's the menu, in case you're interested in mimicking it this Christmas:

And I hope these photos of the night convey the warmth, happiness and food enthusiasm that was very present in the room.

Big love to everyone who has helped this humble first-time author feel so supported.
