| The New Food Lover's Companion by Barron's Educational Series The New Food Lover's Companion | | This is a must have for any culinary library. Have you ever wondered what "beurre manie" is or even how to pronounce it for that matter? Then this is the book for you. It is an extremely useful and educational reference book for the beginning culinarian to the master chef. So get out your highlighter and your notepad because this will be a culinary experience that you we enjoy. | | The New Food Lover's Companion by Barron's Educational Series MUST have for every cook!!! | | This is the most comprehensive food dictionary I have come across!!! I love this book!!!! | | The New Food Lover's Companion by Barron's Educational Series a chefs companion | | wish i had found this book 20 years ago a lot more information than i paid for , great book | | The New Food Lover's Companion by Barron's Educational Series Great reference | | IMO, every food lover out there should get this book. It is a great reference and very useful for just about any food related terms out there. I have purchased this book 4 times (3 of which were previous editions) to give as gifts to my friends and they all loved it! | | The New Food Lover's Companion by Barron's Educational Series Comprehensive food dictionary, but not as up-to-date as it could be. | | This reference has been lauded in many venues, and it truly is a fascinating resource. However, after spending time examining the book (4th ed., 2007), I am noticing several entries that are out-of-date. For example, the entry on brains does not mention mad cow disease. In contrast, the latest _Joy of Cooking_ (2006) not only notes this, it also warns readers to avoid eating brains for that reason. As another example, several entries in the bibliography refer to older editions of books that now have recognized newer editions. Take, for example, the listing of _La Methode_ and _La Technique_, both by Jacques Pepin. These two works have been combined and published as _Jacques Pepin's Complete Techniques_. As a third example, the appendix on food label terms does not list trans fats in the listing of different fats found on food labels. All of these examples make me wonder about things I haven't caught. I hope that all of this information is updated and corrected in a fifth edition. | | The New Food Lover's Companion by Barron's Educational Series Product Description | | The brand-new fourth edition of this widely praised reference guide has been updated with new information for everyone, including lovers of ethnic foods and health food aficionados. The authors have added many all-new entries on exotic produce and other unusual ingredients. An earlier edition of The New Food Lover’s Companion was hailed by Bon Appétit magazine as “one of the best reference books we’ve seen, a must for every cook’s library.” This new edition has even more to offer! Among the myriad foods and culinary subjects defined and explained are cooking tools and techniques, meat cuts, breads, pastas, international foods, cheeses, eggs and omelets, herbs and spices, fruits and vegetables, candies and desserts, wines and cocktails, and literally everything else related to good food and enjoyable dining. Handy and helpful appendices cover a wide range of food-related topics. They include suggestions for substituting recipe ingredients, high-altitude baking adjustments, a microwave oven conversion chart, recommended safe cooking temperatures for various meats and fish, a guide to reading food package labels, seasoning suggestions to enhance favorite dishes, a food additives directory, and much more. The New Food Lover’s Companion is a reference guide—not a cookbook—but it includes hundreds of cooking tips plus an extensive bibliography of recommended cookbooks and other food-related literature. Here in one volume is an invaluable companion for cooks—and for everybody else who loves good food. More than 6,700 entries plus line art that shows retail cuts of lamb, pork, beef, and veal. |
Throwing Away Your Code
Nick Bradbury: “It's like trying to part with all those old mementos in your closet that you kept because they used to mean something to you.”
Me, I love deleting code even more than I love writing it. I think sometimes that I write code only for the pleasure of deleting it later.

Software Kit for iPhone, iPod Touch Applications Set for February 2008
Glenn Fleishman, TidBITS: “While there was no consensus in the existing Mac developer community as to whether Apple would ever fully open up the iPhone platform for third-party applications—a view reinforced by Apple's early reluctance to make any commitment—Jobs stated quite clearly at the D: All Things Digital conference in May 2007 that Apple would open the iPhone up.”

Apple Nearing iPhone Third-Party Developer Announcement
Glenn Fleishman, TidBITS: “The bits and pieces I've heard are maddeningly non-specific: I don’t know, for instance, whether a full software developer’s kit (SDK) will be released; what tier of Apple Developer Connection (ADC) program member you need to be (if any); and how much of the innards would be unleashed.”
Normally I wouldn’t think much about a piece like this—but it’s by Glenn Fleishman and it’s published in TidBITS, so I am thinking that something might be happening.

iPhone's AJAX SDK: No, thank you.
Wil Shipley: “What I’m not willing to do is starting programming in AJAX, as Steve so gleefully announced we should do at the (non-nondisclosured) WWDC keynote this year.”
I’ve said before that if Wil didn’t exist, we’d have to invent him. Partly for posts like this one, which say what a bunch of people are thinking—only way funnier.

I’m pleased to be able to say that the tacos are on NewsGator. ;)

Leopard delayed till October
Apple Statement: “While Leopard's features will be complete by then [WWDC], we cannot deliver the quality release that we and our customers expect from us. We now plan to show our developers a near final version of Leopard at the conference, give them a beta copy to take home so they can do their final testing, and ship Leopard in October.”
This is the sound of Gus hyperventilating. ;)
