A Recipe Book

The man flipped through a couple of books the other day at Chalk. He was enthralled with Giorgio Locatelli's Made In Italy Food And Stories. He had to go out to get himself a copy.

(He's got a trip to London scheduled very soon. So I bet you he's going to Zafferano and Locanda Locatelli.)

As interested as he is about internet recipes, I think he probably also wants to experiment with recipe books. The man always cooks a dish twice. Once to the instructions of the recipe (unless it's crap) and the second to his improvisation.

We haven't done any major dinners for the friends since January. We've been really busy- work trips and a packed social calendar and with the repairs taking up a full month, we've been lazy. I think this book will inspire him. He likes the language used in the book and how the dishes are presented to the readers. Let's see what comes out of his cooking pot after he's done with the new book.

I just want to say: the juxtaposition of the curious bear and the cookbook is an awesome coincidence!
