Pulling A Fast One
February, 2007
HOW'S THIS FOR a simple stroke of genius: the world's first waterproof cookbook. Charlie Palmer's Practical Guide to the New American Kitchen ($35, melcher .com) is by the enviable chef and mogul behind Aureole, Metrazur, Dry Creek Kitchen et al. Slather the book in pulled pork (pictured) or any of its other artfully sturdy American fare and wipe it right up. Good clean living.
