biscuitpower.com author wins award

I’m a little sheepish about tooting my own horn here, but I’m so excited I can’t keep it in.

Noted California food and wine writer Antonia Allegra informed me by e-mail last week that my Wilt sallet: rediscovering a once proud mountain tradition column won an honorable mention in the Edible Communities writing and scholarship contest for the Symposium for Professional Food Writers.

From the e-mail: “You are among the few Special Mention winners who were singled out by the judges as particularly talented writers to encourage and to watch for the future. Your “Wilt Sallet” was the entry that scored very high in the Edible Communities Scholarship. You will receive a certificate to recognize your talent.”

The conference is held annually at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia and draws some of the biggest names in food writing.

    This is great news and you should toot your own horn.

    Hopefully this is just the beginning in a long line of writing awards.
