    Mark it on your calendar: I’m reading from my book this Monday at the Park Slope Barnes & Noble at 7:30 PM. You’ll get to hear the words straight from the horse’s mouth, plus you’ll get to meet my friends, ask me questions, and have me sign your book. It’ll be tons of fun: I…

  • The New Amateur Gourmet

    Hey! What’s going on? Why does everything look so different? WHAT’S HAPPENING? Welcome to the new Amateur Gourmet. The people you see above you are the brilliant people responsible for what you see around you.

  • New York in a Box

    |

    It’s Wednesday and that means the nation’s papers published their food sections today. Normally, I let the aggregator blogs do the work of a Wednesday wade-through–linking to the best stories, etc–but today there’s plenty to link to and talk about, so I thought I’d get into the game. Click ahead to join the conversation.
