First, a few administrative details. I’ve moved a few things around on my website – links to other food blogs and websites can be found on a page of it’s own, accessible from the sidebar or from a link at the top of any web page. I added a few new links in there, so I encourage you to have a look and see if there’s anything that’s new to you. Also, if you have a look at the sidebar, you can also now sign up for e-mail updates.
Okay, enough blabbing. Let’s get to the news and links.

“I got the Momofuku cookbook as a surprise Christmas present and I need to sit down and go through it all. I already know there are some recipes that I want to try.”
I got it, too – why don’t we do a recipe together, and each write about our experience. That would be a blast! Are you in? If so, you choose the first one, but please make it an easy start! 🙂
That would be a FANTASTIC plan! Give me some time to flip through the book and I’ll send you an e-mail. The only problem that I can see is that most of his recipes seem to be multiple steps (i.e. make this recipe first, then use that result to make this other recipe).
That’s OK. Pick one that you believe your family would really enjoy – and we can both handle the pressure. 🙂 (of the extra steps)
Let’s agree upon the deadline, and doing at least two. One you pick, and one I pick. I am so excited!
I will wait for your message.
🙂
