In Episode 9 of the Books on the Nightstand Podcast:
We battle the bumping microphone -- sorry, folks, those thumps are the microphone cord bouncing around. We tend to talk with our hands when we get excited, which makes the cord swing. I know the sound quality on this episode could be better. We're working on it. We do this podcast because we love books, but that doesn't make us audio experts. I hope the content of the show makes up for the less than professional audio.
As for the show itself:
We confess to a "book collecting sickness" -- but we need a better term for it. If you are linguistically gifted, help us out please. If not, send more bookshelves!
We talk about our favorite cookbooks -- those books that never seem to get put away because they are used so often. Several of these cookbooks have related links that you can check out until you can get to the bookstore:
- Here's an interview with Bobby Flay from the Hartford Courant. It includes 2 recipes from the book (and annoying pop-up ads -- just a warning).
- Mark Bittman's blog, Bitten, at The New York Times website. Bookmark this one, it's a winner.
- The recipe for the turkey burgers are at the Everyday Food website
- Wine Library TV, home of Gary Vaynerchuk, whose book 101 Wines Ann reviews in this episode. Warning, Gary's wine reviews can be addicting. He has thousands of followers that call themselves "Vayniacs" -- will you become one of them?
And at the end of the episode, as usual, 2 new books we can't wait for you to read!
