Keys To Good Cooking by Harold McGee Giveaway

That's me and Harold. Harold McGee, the guys who said that he's a writer more than a scientist, when my friend asked him what he considered himself to be. Harold, who wrote a Children's book on the science of ice-cream but had his book rejected by the publisher before he became THE Harold McGee. It's always a little inspiring to hear incredible writers talk about their early days. And then it's fun to hear them explain the science behind frozen berries, his new method of cooking pasta, and the gnocchi he had in a restaurant in NY that was made out of eggs and had eggs folded inside. He was at the edge of his seat trying to describe this dish and so perplexed that he could not figure out how in the world it was created.

Harold McGee's work is phenomenal and his new book Keys to Good Cooking is a must read. The intelligent and witty folks at NPR described it perfectly:

His latest book, the Keys to Good Cooking, is a how-to guide for home chefs in which McGee, a food science expert, explains techniques for kicking recipes up a few notches. McGee details why people perceive flavors differently, offers his thoughts on seasonings and explains why searing meat doesn't seal in the juices.

That first pic is Harold leaving a note and signing the book for you. You deserve it. I told him I had phenomenal readers. He said he did too. Having phenomenal readers makes our world go round so I appreciate you to the moon and back.

I wish I could give each and every one of you an autographed copy of Keys to Good Cooking. Dang it. I so wish that could happen. Unfortunately, I only have one to give away. If you win consider yourself lucky, then go play the lotto. If you don't win put this book on your Holiday wish list. By what I can tell Santa Claus is a total foodie, I'm sure he'll deliver.

Have a fun weekend.
