"Man with a Pan," the book I've spent the past three or four years working on goes on sale today. I hope you'll consider picking up a copy. It's full of insightful stories about what it means to be a man in the kitchen. One of my goals in writing the book is to inspire more men to start cooking, more often. I think the world will be a better place when that is the case.
For those readers who live in or near New York City, there will be a reading from the book on June 2 at 7 p.m. at Housing Works Used Books Cafe, at 126 Crosby Street, in lower Manhattan, featuring Tom Beller, Mark Kurlansky, and Sean Wilsey. It's free, and I hope you can make it. Say hello if you can.
Heh. I went to school with Sean Wilsey. I was actually reading his book, with no idea that he was a classmate, and then I got to the chapter on our school.
John, I found it front and center at the Westport Library yesterday! I am LOVING the essays and will buy my own copy. (I’d looked at B & N week before last, but was too early.)
Good luck, John! I’ll try to make it to the Housing Works event!
CONGRATULATIONS JOHN!! I love the cartoons in the book — it’s in the front of Community Bookstore in Park Slope (Brooklyn) too!!
Congrats! Can’t wait to get my copy, I will interoffice and ask you to please sign it. Sorry to miss the reading, it’s my man’s birthday on June 2.
Congratulations, John!!! So exciting. Can’t wait to pick up a copy and get an autograph, if you’ll oblige your sis. 🙂
