The second season of Alton Brown's travel show Feasting on Asphalt premieres this Saturday, and I must admit, I am really looking forward to it. Alton is one of my favorite celebrity chefs, mostly because of his geeky scientific approach to cooking. In his first book, I'm Just Here for the Food, AB delivers the goods just like you would expect. There are recipes, science, history and lots of detailed instructions and handy diagrams. Much like his Good ...

Just the other day I posted about my positive experience, with Blurb, an online service that helps regular folk produce photo books that look like they were made by the pros. And though I am very happy with Blurb, it did take a few weeks for them to print the book and have it sent to me. But what if you’re the last minute type who wants to put a similarly professional-looking photo book together, but you ...

The folks at Cook's Illustrated really know their way around a kitchen. Not only do they have great recipes and fantastic ideas, but they've got an assortment of kitchen tips too. In fact they've got 834 of them and lucky for us they've put them in their book 834 Kitchen Quick Tips. The tips are laid out alphabetically and cover everything from almond paste (how to soften) to zucchini (how to seed). The hints inside (like spraying your ...
The Friday Project’s Friday Books give us blogging, chatrooms and the Holy Moly guide to life (and we might just give them to you!)
by , Leave Response
The Friday Project is a publishing company close to my heart. Not only do they take the best of the web and distill it into that enduring and wonderful medium, the book, they also gave us one of the most unexpectedly focussed social networking websites currently online, London Friday Cities, through which I got this great job (email me and I'll think about sending you an invite... maybe). I've recently got my hands on two of their ...

In the past, stylists were the unsung heroes of the fashion world. No longer. Now stylists have their own clothing lines, endorsement deals and red carpet moments. They are even getting their own book. Fashion Week Daily reports that Stylist: The Creation of Style is a 272-page hardcover by Rizzoli Books that ncludes an introduction and interviews conducted by Sarah Mower and a foreword by Vogue editrix Anna Wintour. The coffee table book, ...
Everything's fine. Seriously! Fine!
I'm very grateful for all of the emails and messages and incessant telephone calls (Mom)asking whether I was all right, because I am. I'm just going to be stuck at home for the next little while, as the result of an ongoing situation that is equal parts funny and gross (or, actually, now that I reflect, more gross than funny) that I can't talk about yet and maybe won't want to talk about ever, and I'm ...

I’ve always dreamed about writing a book. Imagine the life… getting up whenever you like, wearing your comfy pyjamas, escaping to a fantasy world in your mind, and then getting paid for your thoughts, sounds good to me! Well I’m pretty sure it’s not really that simple but the idea of writing a book really does appeal to me. If you’ve always fancied yourself as the next Jackie Collins then get yourself over to Cosmopolitan’s website and enter their ...
The concept of the eBook has been floating around the technological ether for years, and with the advent of the Internet, epaper and similar advances many have predicted the death of the book repeatedly.

Caitlin Phillips is one crafty girl. I wish I had known about her when I was cleaning out my mother's house and donating tons of old books to the library. Phillips, whose company is called Rebound Designs, make purses from the covers of old hardback books. The pages are removed and then Phillips handcrafts each purse, matching the fabric and handle to the cover. She will also create a purse for you ...

If there's one guy that's consistently been a men's style icon for the past three decades, it's David Hasselhoff. Not only was the dude in charge on Baywatch (an enviable position, indeed), he was Michael Knight in Knight Rider for crying out loud. What man wouldn't -- to this day -- give his right arm for the chance to drive that car?
Now all of us can learn ...

Clearly I've been fooling myself that Kurt Vonnegut would live forever, but sadly even the best things have to come to and end, and one of the great writers of the the modern age has passed away. There isn't really anything I can write that will do justice to the great man, so I leave you instead with his own words, spoken at the funeral of Isaac Asimov: "Isaac is in heaven now, that was the funniest ...
