An Interview with Sandra Lee

We recently got the chance to speak with Food Network star and author Sandra Lee who is about to host an incredible and delectable charity event on March 29. The World's Largest Bake Sale will kick off at Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Terminal in New York. This fundraising event will benefit The Food Bank of New York and will feature sweet and savory baked goods from 30 of New York's favorite chefs, restaurants and food shops. This event, which is sponsored by Pyrex, will happen simultaneously with other bake sales in every state in the country to raise funds for local food banks all across the country.

Sandra, who is committed to ending childhood hunger, organized this event in collaboration with food industry icons Mario Batali, Lidia Bastianich, Emeril Lagasse and Rosanna Scotto. Emeril and Rosanna will be attending the event at Grand Central Terminal on March 29 along with Food Network star, Duff Goldman, from "Ace of Cakes."

Listen in to our interview with Sandra, who shares her favorite recipe from her newest cookbook, Bake Sale Cookbook

(John Wiley & Sons, Inc, March 29th, $19.95), a tribute to delicious time-saving sweet and savory recipes perfect for bake sales, gift-giving and good, old-fashioned fun. With fifty percent of the future royalties from the book going to support Feeding America®, Share Our Strength®, and No Kid Hungry™, Sandra encourages Americans to host bake sales to help end childhood hunger. Sandra Lee Bake Sale Cookbook will ensure that there's always a reason to say "yes" to baked goods. To find out more, visit Sandra Lee on her website and Facebook.
