We just got back from the IACP Cookbook Awards where I presented the Eat Your Books Award.  All the nominees were tremendous books - we were delighted to present it to Stephanie Alexander for Stephanie Alexander's Kitchen Garden Companion.  Well, I would have done if she had been there so it went to Lauraine Jacobs from New Zealand (an ex-IACP… read more

We had our first day today at the IACP Conference in Portland, Oregon.  It was a packed and exciting day.  Lots of networking and meeting interesting people.  And tonight there was the opening reception where Portland's finest chefs and vineyards produced the food and wine.  Excessive sampling of everything ensued.  But the highlight for me was that I met Madhur Jaffrey -… read more

The last snow was only a week and a half ago, and already this year's grill books are arriving. I don't blame the publicists for wanting to hasten the warm weather.  Last week, I bought my own first sack of charcoal for the season and threw the first steak on the grill.  It was beefy, juicy, smoke-kissed perfection.  But I… read more

Today we added our 1,000th indexed book - that is almost quarter of a million recipes now indexed.  Since we added two books at the same time, I couldn't decide which was the 1,000th since they seemed equally deserving. So we proclaim both Well Preserved by Eugenia Bone and Tuscan Cookbook  by Stephanie Alexander and Maggie Beer as our 1,000th book.  Fittingly, both Eugenia… read more

As a cookbook reviewer, I sometimes have to measure where it would usually be perfectly fine to guess.  I don't always like having to measure 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, but I do it...I've got 5 sizes of measuring cups, a couple of instant-read thermometers, and a scale that gets regular use.  But the tool that makes me hands-down-flat craziest is… read more
