This pretty lady is Cornelia Guest, she of the famed Churchill and Guest families and back in the day, Debutante of the year. She is now making vegan cookies, a.k.a. known as Cornelia's cookies, and raising nine rescued dogs and a donkey on her beautiful family estate on Long Island.She is one of the "chefs" featured in our new book Lick Your Plate, due out in Fall 2011.
Sabina Pierce, photographer (you might know her as Barbaro's photographer) and I went to Cornelia's estate on Saturday to do her photo shoot for the book. Well Sabina was shooting and I was interviewing, in between playing with dogs, oogling at antiques and holding the light disk for Sabina.
Cornelia, who is about as honest and genuine as they come, was raised with animals and is a true animal lover. Her latest charge is one small 3 month old chihuahua she named Oscar because she rescued him from a dumpster. He follows her everywhere.
We had a beautiful day last Saturday at her estate, falling in love with the dogs (and even the donkey) and wandering the magnificent gardens. And yes she sent us home with the cookies to sample and they were delicious.
