Vote! (a question to readers
& a free signed Ruhlman’s 20)

Last election, I put up a big "Vote Obama" post in light of what I considered to be eight disastrous years of Bush, unnecessary war, and an economy that was going to take well more than four years to fix. I was at first surprised by some of the angry comments I got. A reader named Art wrote, "You’re a consommate [sic] chef. Leave it at that. Keep your friggin’ political opinions to yourself," followed two minutes later by Joe: "Because you can cook, you can tell me for whom I’m to cast my vote? I don’t think so. Keep it in the kitchen—not the voting booth." My response was more or less, "This site is my fucking yard and I can put up whatever sign I want." ...

The Main Dish—My Kindle Single

By Michael Ruhlman | Published: September 24, 2012

A food writer's memoir

Ever since I read Anne Patchett's The Getaway Car, a short memoir on writing, I've wanted to write my own Kindle Single, a venue for fiction and nonfiction that's longer than a magazine story but shorter than a book. (The NYTimes reviewed the singles here.) Any device running Android or iTunes can read Kindle books and Kindle Singles by downloading the free Kindle app. I've bought more Kindle books this year for my iPad than I have in the past five years in hardcover or paperback. I love to read on my iPad, and on my iPhone. So here's my entree into exclusively digital space. I hope you'll have a look. It's a short memoir (10K words or about 35 manuscript pages), on how I got to where I am, a writer of food ...

Question to Readers: Your Help Please

I’ve been fascinated by the digital world and the way it’s shaping not only the way content is spread through our culture but the content itself. I was eager to embrace blogging, thanks to Meg Hourihan and her husband. I’ve created two innovative cooking apps for smart phones, Ratio and Bread Baking Basics, with the hopes of making cooking easier and more fun for people—and there's more to come, thanks to Will Turnage. I hope to introduce a top-secret "e-project" in the fall. One of the things I’m most excited about is the fact that the new media gives more control to the people who make things and takes away some of the power from ...

Michael is taking a break from the blog for 10 days. He remains, he says, "very grateful to the readers and especially to the commenters who have offered so much great thought, information, skepticism, and humor." He hopes to be back a week from Wednesday, provided he does not lose his way, and until then is reposting some of the posts other readers have found useful. --- Emilia

Waiting For Donna

By Michael Ruhlman | Published: January 23, 2012

Race week in Key West is a massive boondoggle for me.  I wake, look out at the water, drink coffee, write until noon, personal writing, then head to the house where I cook for 12 to 16 people every night. I straighten the kitchen, throw away a few forgotten red plastic cups with limes floating in them, make a list, do some shopping, prep what can be done ahead (make some sauces, or a stock, pick and blanch green veg).  Then I go back to my room at The Galleon, condos right on the docks, and have some coffee and write and re-write some more. The boys return from being on the water and I put ...
