Fat Cat Chef

The March/April issue of Cook's Illustrated arrived in my mailbox last night, and there was a pleasant surprise on the front cover:

"Meet Christopher Kimball at a book signing and discussion at Barnes & Nobles 66th and Broadway, Thursday April 1st, 7pm. For details see cooksillustrated.com".

Sweet. Fat Cat Monica and I saw Chris at the Park Ave Borders in NYC last fall when he was promoting The Kitchen Detective.

Unfortunately I couldn't find any info at cooksillustrated.com. I even went over to America's Test Kitchen, but didn't find anything there either.

The B&N website does have details though. Chris will be promotiong Baking Illustrated. Must admit I haven't laid oven mitts on it yet, but I'm sure it's a great tool for us home cooks.

So if you're in the tri-state area, make plans to visit the Lincoln Center B&N (66th & Broadway) on April 1st at 7pm.

Chris is a great guy and you'll walk away with at least a couple of cooking tips, not to mention an autographed copy of his book.
