HOT & FRESH NEWS!
Scottie Jeanette's (almost) weekly blog!
|
NEWSFLASH... (okay... if you're reading this the news already "flashed" about ten minutes ago..) but we digress... For three years Scottie Jeanette kept her readers apace of the events and issues affected the communities that Zuzubean Press held most dear -- family, friends, and those what loves 'em. But circumstances intervened (isn't that their job description?) and life and reality and all the other words that humans use to side step harder words like. cancer, a loved one's passing and...the end of a 32 year love story... (sorry, where were we? Oh, yeah...) well, they interrupted, okay, stopped Scottie Jeanette's RBW musings. But we're happy to announce that she's back in the saddle (with a far more eloquent explanation that we just muddled through) and has renamed her Raised By Wolves blog. (which we personally loved, but then... as she points out, so does everyone else - just Google the title and you'll get everything from U2's eponymous hit, to not one but at least 20 sites and blogs claiming rearing by the family Canidae. Fair enough... So, she's renamed it Recklass In the Next Chapter... check it out on Blogger, Wordpress or right here on the Zuzubean Press Home site.

Recklass Coast2Coast Tour 2019 comes to amazing conclusion!
|
Scottie Jeanette wrapped a barnstormin' tour of five cities during the Christmas buying season to promote her latest book:
"Recklass In The Kitchen, a year of light, laughter & love... oh, and food!" with a finale event in the city of Angeles that included cooking for 30 of her "early adopters" in Silicon Valley, meeting up with the New York Fooderati & Writer's Guild of America, serving 60 dozen of her tough cookie creations to over 300 fans at her BFF's beer heaven, to an intimate gathering celebrating Wine & Recklass women in Seattle, to a reunion with the Sonoma Wine country Pitmaster who believed in her enough to bring her onto his esteemed competition BBQ team, and brought it all home for Christmas with the partner in crime, Chef Chandra Gilbert to host the Trans Chorus of LA -- all to finish off not only the decade, but also to put a period on the biggest chapter of her life. It was a great and wonderful and sometimes heartbreaking celebration of a love story for the books... |

Scottie Jeanette gets Recklass on "Dennis Anyone?" Podcast
(with a little help from white chocolate chip & blueberry oatmeal cookies)
|
The requisite "selfie" with the hoster himself
|
Okay, I confess, I wasn't fighting fair. But Dennis is special guy, so I threw down and invented a new favorite cookie... and comedy ensues, and darma and pathos... Dennis came very well researched about all things Recklass, and it was truly worth waking up at 3:00 am (I was in San Diego at the time having just celebrated Thanksgiving with my beloved Lib) to get to my lair in time to host the host... on his podcast page he wrote:
"Dennis ventures to the edge of the Santa Monica wilderness to the home of author, speaker and TV showrunner Scottie Jeanette Madden to discuss her new cookbook/memoir "Recklass In the Kitchen, a Year of Light, Laughter & Love…Oh, and Food!" as well as the charity holiday dinner she's hosting on December 21st. She talks about how, in the years before she transitioned, cooking was her solace and saved her life. She also talks about some of her holiday favorites, like serving pumpkin soup out of actual pumpkins for Halloween, her Christmas Eve dinner party that doesn't mess around and what it means to be a ninja valentine. She explains what it's like to do a TED Talk and why she thinks it's important to emphasize gender dysphoria when she's giving speeches. She recalls what it was like to be working on the book during the same period that she was losing the love of her life to cancer. Other topics include: cooking shows on TV, her family's 'F 'em" ethos, how transitioning has impacted her TV career, embracing the color pink, and why it's cool to be part of the Benevolent Brotherhood of the Brick Wall. www.zuzubean.com "
