Big News, but not a baby... yet


Well, not that baby. Parker Lee's still got about 7 more weeks. For the past few years Brooke and I have been painstakingly nursing another little bundle of joy to life-- OUR COOKBOOK! 

Just yesterday we received the official word from Scribner/Simon and Schuster-- they have as much faith in our little babe as we have had all these years. They're going to publish it!

Let me translate that for all of my friends (Rob, Daniel, Juan I'm looking at you): a major publishing house just bought our cookbook!

Now comes the long process of actually writing and testing all of those recipes. Stay tuned as the process will be well documented on this site.

What's the book all about? How's this for dust jacket material:

"Girls, girls, girls… There’s still sexism in the cookbook world. It goes something like this: the girls write for the (inexperienced) girls and the men save their goods for serious, professional, coffee-table cookbooks. Rarely does an accomplished, young, male chef try to reach out to the blushing, female home cook contingent as well as reach out to the newbie guy with a brand new set of knives. Even more unique is a cookbook co-authored by a girl and a guy."
