This past Friday night, before going to bed, I felt a strong urge to check my email, just so. And I did. I am so glad I did! There was a big surprise waiting for me. An email notifying me that my book “Pomegranates & Saffron: A Culinary Journey to Azerbaijan” became the Winner of the National Indie Excellence Award in the International Cookbook category! Wait. What? I literally read the email at least 10 times before I believed my eyes and broke the news to the family. What a great way to start the weekend!
The email came from Ellen Reid, President of the National Indie Excellence Awards. Here’s the excerpt:
