Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn

Pasta

Posted by

I'm home from the book tour and already it feels like I never left. Swinging right back into home and work life--cooking is the thing I love in both places.

Last night, we made some Pork Chops and Grits from some ingredients I bought in Virginia. Tonight I'm cooking a gift given to me on the road.

In San Mateo, California--Anthony attended my class and handed me this box of homemade pasta--basil, tarragon fettuccine. He said it is the most celebrated dish in his family.

His suggestion for sauce is:
melted butter, a dash if lemon juice and grated Parmesan Cheese. This is my kind of recipe. If you're in San Mateo, check out his business, Mangia Kai Pasta.

Once again, thanks to everyone who took their precious time to come and see me on the road. Now, I'm going to do my best to blog every day!!!

Best,
LSQ

PS I will also try and figure out how to deal with my pictures, which is what always prevents me from posting!

Richmond American Made MeetUp + Book Signing

Posted by

Hi Everyone,

I'm excited to announce a unique meet up I'm hosting tomorrow for Martha Stewart Living’s American Made celebration.

For those of you not familiar with American Made,  it's a movement for individuals and communities who have turned their passion for handcrafted, well-designed goods into small businesses in food, fashion, beauty, community, design, crafts, garden, and technology. America has always had a creative and entrepreneurial spirit, which has highlighted our past and will most definitely power our future. We, at Martha Stewart Living, believe in empowering and spotlighting a new generation of entrepreneurs. It's something that I am personally very passionate about and honored to participate in.

With 2013 being our second year, we are celebrating around the country with MeetUps: gatherings of communities and American Made small businesses in different towns and cities, with Richmond being one of them.

I want to personally invite you to our next MeetUp, at Hardywood Park Craft Brewery this Thursday, May 2nd, from 6-9PM with the RVA Street Foodies to celebrate the best of Richmond, with great beer, great food, and great local artisans. I'll be there also signing copies of Mad Hungry Cravings-- please come out and say hello!

Just like the movement, the American Made MeetUp is for all ages and is an open invitation to small businesses and the local community: spread the word to your favorite local Richmond artisans, small business, crafters, fashion mavens, and beyond!

Don't forget to stay connected too: check out their Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Website to keep in the know.

Best,
LSQ

 

Mad Hungry on Hallmark: Schedule Changes

Posted by

Hi Folks,

Earlier this week it was brought to our attention that Mad Hungry was not airing on Hallmark. After searching the schedule for the next few weeks, it doesn't seem as though Hallmark will be airing any episodes of Mad Hungry in the foreseeable future. We wrote to the Hallmark Channel but have yet to hear back official word on programming.

To know the show many not be airing saddens me a bit, as I know how many of you write to us saying how it's part of your day and how new people are finding and enjoying the show,  but please know I am dedicated to providing all of you with new content of the same Mad Hungry you love. I have 9 more cities to visit on my Mad Hungry tour, which I have loved traveling and meeting so many of you; some episodes of Mad Hungry are now available on Hulu, and we're slowly building up our YouTube channel to not only have your favorite Mad Hungry recipe videos there, but also new content! I've started playing around with my phone while on tour to create and edit videos on the spot to post to YouTube. I'm not an expert at it, but it's been fun to learn and try it out along the way. In the coming months, I'll also have a few surprises up my sleeve too.

If you'd like to tell Hallmark how you feel, please write them on Facebook, on Twitter  or we found this email: Pressfeedback@crownmedia.com and a phone number to call: 1-818-755-2400.

In short, I want to thank you all for your support and look forward to creation new content with Mad Hungry, on and off of TV.

Best,
LSQ & The MH Team
