I just added Thomas Keller's Under Pressure as an indexed book and was surprised that I had to add another 21 new ingredients, even with 5,936 already in our database.  How many of you have these in your store-cupboard (or even in your grocery store)? Duck tongues, mustard flowers, transglutaminase RM, calcium gluconate, sea urchin tongues, green apple mustard? I'd really be interested to know - if you have this cookbook, have you cooked from it and how was the experience?

Very exciting - we had our first piece of press today in the Vermont newspaper Seven Days.   The article is available on their online edition. There was also a terrific article about EYB on Suite 101 which explains really well how the site helps cookbook lovers.

Funny piece today on Eat Me Daily about the heaviest cookbooks out there and their cost per pound. As expected, The Big Fat Duck Cookbook was the heaviest and most expensive per pound at $13.57. Take a look and see how the other monster books compare.

Another cookbook list you may not have seen was the Village Voice's Top 10 cookbooks of all time. Given the size of my cookbook collection I was surprised I only have five of the top ten though I have nine of the runners up. Do you agree with their choices?

I just posted about Eat Your Books today on the Cookbookers group at one of my favorite websites, Library Thing. For those of you who don't know LT, it is a great place to catalog your books and engage in a friendly book-loving community. If you are finding EYB for the first time because of that post, welcome to this wonderful new resource for cookbook lovers. You can contact us with any comments about the website.
