Cookbook Update

I'm finally blogging about moi again after a year's worth of technical difficulties. I simply refuse to call this an end-of-the-year-wrap-up because that is just so annoyingly tacky. However, here's what I've been working on of late, and it just happens to be nearing the end of the year.

My cookbook with Ten Speed Press will indeed be out in June of '09. Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It And Other Cooking Projects: Make Your Own Bacon, Cheese, Marshmallows, and More is a collection of project-based cookery for the kitchen crafter and food enthusiast. You WILL make sausage, cheese, crackers, booze, render your own lard, churn your own butter, etc., all from the comfort of your cramped urban kitchen, with the fewest tools possible. I'm reviewing page proofs now and it is simultaneously thrilling and terrifying. Oh, and the photos by Jennifer Martine are simply stunning.
