Emily Farris is crazy about casseroles, seriously
​Emily Farris, blogger and author of the cookbook Casserole Crazy: Hot Stuff for Your Oven (Penguin, 2008) hosts her first Kansas City Casserole Party next Monday, November 16 at Pryde's Old Westport. It's open to anyone who wants to compete in the casserole competition, but space is limited and the last day to register is this Friday (read the rules and regulations here).

Farris, who works part-time at Pryde's, began hosting casserole parties at her apartment in Brooklyn five years ago. The events garnered enough press -- in The New York Sun, the New York Post, the New York Times -- that Farris was able to land the cookbook deal with Penguin. Next Monday's event is the first time she's hosted one of the parties in her home town.

Former Pitch columnist Gina Kauffman, now co-host of The Walt Bodine Show, will be one of the judges for the Kansas City Casserole competition. The winner gets a gift certificate from Pryde's.
