Nice. :)Tony Harionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09646403200900310917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101223716619464303.post-50269977080176309982011-04-26T15:20:27.211-07:002011-04-26T15:20:27.211-07:00Ken ~ That's a good take on the book.

Some are charlatans, a few psychopaths, many just work a job, a few preach with the zealotry of converts, and then sometimes I'm fortunate enough to come across people like Ari Weinzweig from Zingerman's, the historian John Egerton, or Cara de Silva, for whom their particular obsessions inform why we eat together as much as what we eat together. Sorry to have missed that particular luncheon.Matthew Rowleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613982533349459637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101223716619464303.post-44010433647460997532011-04-26T15:11:12.299-07:002011-04-26T15:11:12.299-07:00I enjoyed a luncheon presentation by Mr. Bitterman...I enjoyed a luncheon presentation by Mr. Bitterman in Portland, where we were served gravlax and "bachelor's chicken breast" w/flake salt, both made from recipes in his book. It was a fascinating talk, in which he recounted how he got interested in salts and cooking. I considered the book as much a reflection on the sacrament of sharing a meal as it was a book about an edible mineral!Kenhttp://hallenius.orgnoreply@blogger.com
