    New CookBookSlut Column

    My new cookbook slut column is up at Bookslut: Greece is the Word. It’s been a delightful month of lemon and garlic and lamb around here. Several new recipes/techniques going into regular rotation from How to Roast a Lamb: New Greek Classic Cooking by Michael Psilakis, Vefa’s Kitchen by Vefa Alexandiou, and Michael Symon’s Live to Cook: Recipes and Techniques to Rock Your Kitchen.

    Powell’s Books – Review-a-Day

    Powell’s reprinted my latest Bookslut essay on The Pleasures of Cooking for One by Judith Jones. Go take a look and maybe even buy something from them. I highly recommend the Indispensibles program — like getting a surprise present every six weeks.
