Thanksgiving 2011–Darya Pino of Summer Tomato, chowing down at my house. Food = Love.
I can’t wait for launch! Less than 48 hours away…
To whet your appetite, here are sample pages from every section of The 4-Hour Chef. The PDFs are far prettier (and from the book), but the blog posts may load faster:
Front Matter: (PDF, blog post)
Introduction: (PDF, blog post)
Meta-Learning: (PDF, blog post)
The Domestic: (PDF, blog post)
The Scientist: (PDF, blog post)
The Professional: (PDF, blog post)
There is also a soundtrack (yes, a soundtrack) for The 4-Hour Chef. Here are the 29 songs.
Want a $5 Amazon Gift Card?
Good news: if you already bought a print copy of The 4-Hour Chef, you’ll be getting a $5 Amazon Gift Card! This brings the effective cost from $21 down to $16. That’s more than 50% off the $35 cover price!
Until tomorrow (Monday, November 19th) at 11:59 p.m. PST, Amazon is offering a $5 gift card to anyone who orders the hardcover edition of The 4-Hour Chef. Find all the details, fine print, and naked pictures of me here. Just kidding on the naked pics.
What else might Amazon be up to this week? Hmmm… How about full-page ads in People Magazine and bus wraps in NYC? That’s just the tip of the iceberg…
Second Printing and Errata
“Errata” is a fancy way of saying corrections in a book or article. The 4-Hour Chef is going into a second printing, and here are a few screw-ups we caught and are fixing:
SCI
p. 472: Tanya Harding should be Tonya Harding
PRO
p. 500 (2nd to last line): eying should be eyeing
p. 505
Under Technology, (left-hand column, second line from the bottom), the sentence should read “It has a surface that can be lowered to -30ºF.” Currently it reads “45ºF.
APX:
p. 573: Correct spelling of Liechtenstein in the shorthand recipes.
p. 606: In the quote attribution at the top of the page, correct the spelling of Rain Man–should be two words.
page 56: 12O+ lbs should be 120+lbs [changing the O to a zero]
DOM
page 192: The words “Pickup 13” have been removed from image
PRO
page 534: 455 g to 454 g (in chart and in text)
page 538: 455 g to 454 g (in chart and in text)

Tonya Harding AND Rain Man in a cookbook? Oh, yes. Not to mention Calvin & Hobbes and Alessandra Ambrosio, too…
