Hello Everyone,
I hope you have all enjoyed the book. I found it to have a lot of useful tips, and much like In Defense of Food, made me think about what is going into my body. Knowledge is power, right?
I met with Doug this afternoon to talk about next Wednesday's meeting. We will be having trout drudged in rye flour, and then sauteed. This will go on top of potatoes O'Brien (think hashbrowns), and then covered with egg of a style to be determined.
This is a combination of two things we've never demoed before: breakfast and fish. I'm sure most of you have had fish for breakfast, but I have not, so I'm intrigued. Doug will also show us how to butcher a fish. I think I remember some of you mentioning that this has been difficult for you in the past, so hopefully this meeting will help your technique.
I hope to see you all there!

Kitchen Confidential
Hello Everyone,
Below is this month's demo to go with our reading of Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential. This is also a reminder that our meeting has been moved up a week (this coming Wednesday rather than August 31st).
Let me just begin by saying how excited I am to take on some of the responsibility for running the club. I am extremely excited to work more closely with you all. As you probably know, Lindsay got a new job at Microsoft (Congrats Lins!), and won't be able to do a lot of the prep work (maintaining the blog, meeting with Doug about demos, etc.) As a member of the staff at GBC, as well as a member of FFT, I'm in a great position to take care of what we've taken to referring to as "her baby". Rest assured, Lindsay will remain an integral part of the club, and will be at our meetings (just a little late).
Now on to the appetizing part- Wednesday's meeting!
For our demo, Doug will be making pommes frites (French Fries) fried in duck fat and roasted Guinea hens. I know that I am excited for another one of his delicious demos.
Mark your Calendars with the book choices for the next few months:
September 28th: The Art of Eating In: How I Learned to Stop Spending and Love the Stove
October 26th: Sex, Death & Oysters: A Half-Shell Lover's World Tour
November 30th: Cherries in the Winter
I hope everyone can make it for our last meeting of the summer!
