Light posting for the next day.. week.. month.. year.. parsec..
This showed up today:
I had been following this books progress for the last couple of years. When Bill Gates calls someone "the most intelligent person I know", that counts for a lot and Nathan Myhrvold is a true polymath. The option came up almost a year ago to pre-order it on Amazon for a lot less than the current list price and my response was an immediate: Hell Yeah!!!
Just the first 20 minutes or so of thumbing through it show that this is going to be the new standard for a long long time. There are a lot of cookbooks that defined a particular style but this one covers the world. Very well designed (even the box it came in is wonderfully engineered) and I am looking forward to having it as a primary kitchen reference.
