The Book Is Here TODAY

After years--literally years!--of working on it, my book "The Amateur Gourmet: How To Shop, Chop, and Table-Hop Like A Pro (Almost)" should be in your book store RIGHT NOW. Go out there today and buy it; take a picture of yourself with it and upload it to The Amateur Gourmet Book Pool on Flickr. If you live in New York, and you'd like me to autograph it, come to my reading at the Park Slope Barnes and Noble on September 24th at 7:30 PM. Thanks to the amazing people who made this book possible--my parents, my agent Elizabeth, my editor Philip, my amazing friends--and thanks to all of you who've been reading this site for such a long time and supporting me from the very beginning. This book is for all of you: I hope you all love it as much as I do.
