Featured Presenter at Burlington Wine & Food Festival June 17th-20th in Vermont

June 5, 2015 By Lucinda Hutson

I am thrilled to visit Vermont…to escape Texas floods, mosquitos, heat and humidity! I’ll sign copies of my book at each event, ¡VIVA TEQUILA! Cocktails, Cooking, and Other Agave Adventures and present several tequila/mezcal events, including a festive slide show, a tequila dinner, an Añejo and dessert tasting, and a cooking class.

Then, I look forward to relax at the Saturday Wine & Food festival–to sample the renowned cuisine of the region and meet some wonderful new friends! Here’s some information about my events…hope to see some of y’all there! Visit the Event Site for times and locations.

¡VIVA TEQUILA! Book Signing at Métier Cook’s Supply in Austin Sunday, April 26th

April 24, 2015 By Lucinda Hutson

Come join us for a tequila celebration at Métier, Austin’s exciting new cooking supply store, where I’ll be signing copies of my book, ¡VIVA TEQUILA! Sip extraordinary T1 (Tequila Uno) along with a sampling of my spicy Sangrita, tequila’s quintessential non-alcoholic chaser (recipe in my book)…try a Poor Man’s Paloma spiked with Austin’s own award winning 512 Tequila…and shop with others who love gustatory delights.

Keep ¡VIVA TEQUILA! in mind for your spring and summer gift giving. Does your Mama drink tequila? Does your Papa drink it too? Remember Mother’s Day is May 10th….and Father’s Day is June 21st.

And every graduate needs to know more about tequila and other agave spirits!

For a special wedding gift, fill a basket with tequila treats: a signed copy of ¡VIVA TEQUILA! , a bottle of 100% agave tequila, some margarita or shot glasses, cocktail napkins, a lime squeezer, a shaker…be creative and have fun!

If you can’t be with us, order books from Métier or by mail order from my website.

Look forward to see you at the Métier book signing in Austin

Sunday, April 26th from 1 -3 p.m.

Southern Gardening Symposium Speaker 2014

October 3, 2014 By Lucinda Hutson

Southern Gardening Symposium Flyer

I’m thrilled to join other garden writers, lecturers, authors, horticulturists, plant collectors, photographers and friends at this 26th Annual Southern Garden Symposium in St. Francisville, Louisiana. It will be wonderful to join fellow Texan plant enthusiasts and amigos Dr. William Welch, Greg Grant, Chris Wiesinger and Jim Johnson–and to meet other Louisiana speakers and new friends! I can’t wait to visit the lovely homes, gardens and plantations, and to enjoy the gracious hospitality and charm of Southern gardeners!

In my colorful slide show, guests will catch a glimpse of my legendary purple cottage and gardens and gather ideas for creating festive foods and lively libations.

Hope some of you can join us!

Life is a fiesta!

Thanks to John Pozdro for creating my previous site, and for helping so much with the evolution of the new site…and to Renee Mims for her creative ideas and assistance.

I invite y’all to pour yourself a shot of tequila…or a refreshing glass of sangría …and peruse my website.
