Raleigh food blogger, attorney, and man about town Dean McCord has written a very kind preview of “An Edge in the Kitchen” titled These are the Days of Our Knives on his blog, VarmintBites. Dean writes about dining, home cooking, family, and the Triangle’s burgeoning food movement. His cobbler recipe is also top notch. Definitely go read his preview of my book, but bookmark the site. It’s good reading.

David Leite has been kind enough (or desperate enough) to invite me to do a couple of guest pieces for his blog on Leite’s Culinaria.
Today’s entry, “So Ya Wanna Buy a Knife”
You have decided that it is time to get serious, time to show the world that you have arrived and are ready to cook. You have decided to buy some decent kitchen knives.
For those who haven’t yet been introduced, Leite’s Culinaria is food writer David Leite’s multiple Beard Award winning website featuring articles, insights, reviews and recipes. As one writer put it,
“Edited by David Leite, [Leite's Culinaria] is kind of The Atlantic Monthly for food lovers, with well-written essays by Leite or one of his posse of fellow food-obsessed wordsmiths. There are always recipes that are begging to be tried, columns that are both funny and informative, product reviews, interviews…basically hours of enjoyment to delve into.”
