There’s a great discussion about our grandmothers’ cooking going on over at MetaFilter. Sure, I’m glad it started with a mention of this site, but the comments are really fantastic. Go check it out if you’ve got an hour or so. (It’s a big discussion.)
And if you’re coming over here for the first time thanks to that discussion, welcome aboard!
If you look to the right and scroll down a little, those thumbnails are my current top-10 most popular recipes. I’m still as surprised as anyone that egg salad made the list. And I suspect that half the traffic to the cheesesteak recipe is people wanting to see if it’s “authentic”, then arguing with me (and each other) down in the comments.
Enjoy your stay, and I hope you find something you want to try.
Oh! And go check out the Kegmobile while you’re here. Thanks.

Have you seen this? I found it linked in another article on metafilter: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/magazine/28nutritionism.t.html?ei=5090&en=a18a7f35515014c7&ex=1327640400&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=all
I think it's great. If yes did the idea for your blog comem from there?
I didn't hear about Pollan until after I had started the blog. But since then, I've read both Omnivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto. I'm a huge fan of his work.
I'd heard of Omnivore's Dilemma before but didn't know he wrote it. I really want to read those now!
