Look! My Name is on the Cover! or Meet Starting From Scratch

I'm so happy and proud to be a part of Starting From Scratch.

So, a few months ago, my friend Drew from How to Cook Like Your Grandmother proposed a Project.  He wanted to put together a small-ish cook book to help folks feel more comfortable in the kitchen.  As you know, that’s right up my alley, so I jumped at the chance to be a Part of Things.  It soon became evident that the scope of the Project needed to be much broader.  Being a People Person, Drew contacted some of his other friends and experts in different areas of cooking to contribute material as well.  The result:  Starting From Scratch:  The Owner’s Manual for Your Kitchen. 

When Drew sent me the finished Table of Contents, even I was surprised by how comprehensive it was.  There’s information–great information–about everything from meats to knives to canning to vegetables to desserts to nutrition to equipment.   Plus a bunch more.  All the co-authors are truly experts in their fields, and the text is very conversational yet informative.  As a Bonus, there are a couple of Unconventional Sections.  If you’re a fan of The Absurd, they’ll be right up your alley.  If you’re looking for a Dry Cooking Text, this ain’t it.  And guess what?  Drew even let me keep my Gratuitous Capitalization.  Yay!  Thanks, Drew.

Wander on over to Starting From Scratch to take a look, read about the other co-authors, swipe a free chapter and Ponder Ordering.  Ponder hard, friends.  Think of the kittens. It’ll be available on November 2.  If you order before November 2, you can get a discount!  Cool, huh?  Just thought I’d let everyone know. 

Guess what else?  The book is available either for download as a .pdf file (E-Book) or as a Real Live Hold-in-Your-Hands book (print on demand): Click here to view more details 

“Oh, how do I get the discount?” you ask.  Good question.  On the order page, ”scratch1“  is the Secret Code for getting the print on demand version, and  “scratch2” is the Secret Code for the e-book version.
