MARK FEUERSTEIN WILL NOT BE PLAYING ME IN THE ADAPTATION: I am honored, and still a bit bewildered, to be one of the dads featured in John Donohue's Man with a Pan: Culinary Adventures of Fathers Who Cook for Their Families, in bookstores everywhere today, a series of essays and recipes from folks like Stephen King, Mario Batali, Wesley Stace, and Mark Bittman as well as interviews with non-famous cooking dads like me in which I talk about duck. I am totally biased, obviously, but I think it's a great anthology, a worthy Father's Day gift, and fun read in its own right. (Saveur and Kirkus agree.) And there's a trailer:
John's website, Stay At Stove Dad, is worth your time as well. As Batali writes, "The best reason to cook, besides its being delicious and good for you, is that it will automatically make you look good. You'll look like a hero every day."
P.S. This is all Carrie's fault. She introduced me to John.
