Food is the great universal topic. Go anywhere and talk with just about anyone and know that after pleasantries are exchanged, the conversation will almost always get around to food..eating it, buying it, preparing it. We love to talk about the parties we've attended, bar-b-ques we've hosted, dinners we've made, the desserts we've savored and the recipes we've mastered. I think we are lucky in that our conversations always come back to food in some capacity or another. It's always best when food is shared, both across the table and with our words. Come..let's share the bounty! Cooks talk!

James Beard Award winners 2009


A quick glance at your cookbook shelves should tell you that's time to either head to Barnes and Noble or your favorite big-box bookstore to secure some of this year's James Beard winners. Or if saving money is your goal this year you might want to think about heading over to your local, friendly branch library and look up these new and exciting titles in their catalog. For instance a quick overview of the KRL catalog will show that we post the Beard winners right up there for you to see. What's really great is that can check out their availabilty and place them on hold, too. What a deal!

What's great about being in the book business is seeing these great new titles first hand as soon as they come in. It's hard not to want to take them all home, but, hey, you can only cook so many new dishes during the weekend! Plus, by leaving some on those new exciting titles on the shelves you give other folks a chance to polish up their skills and secure a few bragging rights as well!
