We love all the mentions we can get but we have to note a correction when we come across one. I understand the confusion on completely when I click on the link for TastyBeat. Go figure!?
Truth be told, TastyBeat loves Cooking Fools so much they're ATTENDING a class there at the end of June.
There is no professional affiliation between Cooking Fools and TastyBeat.
We love that we have a new source for news in the industry and we wish them the greatest success!
