Kathy’s meeting, greeting, and signing books at the Passaic County Book Festival Saturday, June 10 from 11 AM – 4 PM. Old-fashioned candy could be in the mix. Come out to Weasel Brook Park (how can you resist a name like that?) in Clifton; put 754 Park Drive, Clifton, NJ 07013 in the GPS to find the park entrance.

Kathy’s on the Food Network!
Kathy’s on the new Food Network series Outchef’d, which pits home cooks against professional chefs. She’s one of the judges in the episode Maneet Chauran vs. Helena, who battle with seafood (something she rarely eats these days, but she made an exception for this!)
It’s also streaming on Amazon Prime Video (with Discovery+), Hulu Live TV and YouTube TV.
After sitting on the sidelines of a Food Network show taping (“Food Games,” in Eat, Drink & Be Wary), she’s finally made it on screen!
Questions for those who watch it: Can you tell which dish won her vote? And guess which host comment before the big reveal caused an iconic lift of an eyebrow off camera?
