mame11 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Not a chef at a restaurant, but Joan Nathan is an important cookbook author. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPW Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Didn't some guy named Fabio something-or-the-other publish a cookbook recently? A few weeks ago at a book sale at the SS library, I picked up one by Jacques Haeringer of L'Auberge Chez Francois (autographed no less) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 It's not really the same kind of cookbook as the examples, but I have one from Roberto Donna: http://www.galileodc.com/shop/detail_cookbook.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheezepowder Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Not sure that this book falls into this category, but a number of years ago, Mark Miller put out a Red Sage cookbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lydia R Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 About ten years ago Jeff Tomcheck published an Old Anglers Inn Cookbook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Blume Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Didn't some guy named Fabio something-or-the-other publish a cookbook recently? Here's the book bundled with Happy in the Kitchen. (Peter Kaminsky, the writer hired for the project, is great.) A Dame d'Escoffier if not a chef, but Najmieh Batmanglij is great, especially Silk Road... & New Food... Just chefs and cookbooks? Or are local/native-born authors who write books about food of interest? Nina Planck, Sam Fromartz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoramargolis Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I noticed in the Post today that Michel Richard is going to be at Politics and Prose on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Hopefully, he will be speaking as well as signing books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds entertaining and conveniently located/timed. Anyone going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdt Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 That sounds entertaining and conveniently located/timed. Anyone going? Yup, with book in hand. The only question is where to eat after it is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgolightly Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 That sounds entertaining and conveniently located/timed. Anyone going? that's my big night out this weekend! a girlfriend and i are planning a trip to Comet and then to P&P for the event. that's so much for all the responses, this really helps a lot. and yes, i shouldn't have tried to limit it to restauranteurs; i'm interested in local authors as well. cheers, holly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillvalley Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Yup, with book in hand. The only question is where to eat after it is over.Places where you can get a decent meal on that block: Buck's and Comet.Places where they use something resembling food: Uptown Cathay, Besta Pizza. Personally I'd eat first and understand that you'll end up in the back during the talk. Otherwise you'll have to wait in line to get the book signed and wait in line to eat because Comet and Buck's are bound to be full! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waitman Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Yup, with book in hand. The only question is where to eat after it is over. Check first -- I seem to recall that only books bought at P&P will be signed (but I may be mistaken). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdt Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Check first -- I seem to recall that only books bought at P&P will be signed (but I may be mistaken). In the past I have brought books from home to have signed with no problems, but I will check to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
