Lucy Burdette answered Kitty's question: Hi Lucy, I love your Key West Food Critic series and can't wait to read your next one! Have you ever thought about creating a cookbook for all the recipes? Maybe include some recipes from some KW restaurants? Hi Kitty! Thank you for the kind words. Great minds think a like as Lucy Burdette’s Kitchen Will be out on July 23. That will start out as an e-book and then come out in large print hard cover in December. Thanks for asking!
