Laurie,

You will be so pleased with the results that you achieve from creating dishes from the Ad Hoc cookbook. Searching for the freshest, local ingredients will be worth the effort. The Keller techniques that you learn will make you an excellent cook. Friends and family will be impressed.

I’m not familiar with the Zuni Cafe cookcook, but have eaten at the restaurant. It would be an interesting exercise in cooking to compare the roasted chicken recipes from both restaurants. Have fun.

I have the Ad Hoc cookbook and love it despite its size. We’re moving soon and will have a big kitchen, so I’m no longer worried about where it will fit on the counter. I am hoping that by using this book and The Zuni Cafe Cookbook, my cooking skills will dramatically improve. I’m already having good results with the recipes I’ve tried so far. Using the freshest possible ingredients is essential for me, since I’m hoping the freshness will make up for my lack of ability at this point in my cooking career.

Hey guys! Back on Feb 20 I called in on the voicemail line and entered to win a copy of The Passage. Since then I’ve been fortunate enough to win a copy from Goodreads.com. So if you would, please remove me from the contest so that someone else can win.

Thanks for sponsoring the contest– can’t wait to read this one!

Ummm…there’s a good chance I was skipping a step on iTunes! I’m new to subscribing to podcasts (versus downloading individual ones). Thanks for the extra info – I think I have it figured out now!

Thanks, Sue!
There shouldn’t be a delay in the podcasts on iTunes, as we generally download to our own itunes immediately to check that is posted and working. Odd.

Our schedule is to post either late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, and it should hit iTunes at the same time. Please let us know if you have a problem again. (You should be able to get episode #66 now — it published on Tues. 2/23 at 10:29pm according to my iTunes).

Thanks for telling us about your son enjoying our podcast. The Stand is a great book to give to teens! I hope he likes it. If he does, we’d love to have him call in a review to play on the podcast!

Wow, The Passage sounds amazing! I can’t wait…

I love to cook but get most of my recipes from Cooking Light magazine (I have 10 years’ of issues lined up on my kitchen shelf!) I found the cookbook reviews interesting and would like to check some of these out.

By the way, did you know there’s a delay until your podcasts are available on iTunes? I usually update my iPod on Saturdays and listen on the weekend, but this podcast (posted here on the 16th) wasn’t available on iTunes until Sunday. Just thought you might want to know.

I really enjoy your podcasts, and this week, my 15-year old son overheard it from the other room and enjoyed the discussion of The Passage. He asked what post-apocalyptic meant and said, “Oh, I love those kinds of books!” I think he might be ready for The Stand…
