After years--literally years!--of working on it, my book "The Amateur Gourmet: How To Shop, Chop, and Table-Hop Like A Pro (Almost)" should be in your book store RIGHT NOW. Go out there today and buy it; take a picture of yourself with it and upload it to The Amateur Gourmet Book Pool on Flickr. If you live in New York, and you'd like me to autograph it, come to my reading at the Park Slope Barnes and Noble on September 24th at 7:30 PM. Thanks to the amazing people who made this book possible--my parents, my agent Elizabeth, my editor Philip, my amazing friends--and thanks to all of you who've been reading this site for such a long time and supporting me from the very beginning. This book is for all of you: I hope you all love it as much as I do.

Adam, my copy bought from your site to add extra support is on it's way from Amazon, as noted by an email I got today! I wrote the forward and worked on a cookbook with a friend, so I really appreciate anyone that can bring their thoughts, humor, and soul into print. It's been great to see your cooking, writing, and life skills just grow and grow.
Look forward to see your futher adventures...
Congrats & love that picture of your proud Mother.

Can't wait for mine to get here! I'm in NY but too far away for a signing! I'd love to hear you read from it...maybe a video in the making! Are you making any other appearances?
Savor the moment!

Congratulations, Adam! Any chance you'll re-visit the southern source of all this on your book tour? It's been such a treat to watch your incredible journey progress from comedic cupcakes!
Cheers!

I feel like I should tell you that yesterday when I woke up I went to Borders to get your book, but they hadn't put it out yet. So then I went over to a local small book store and the employee and I went through a box containing a new shipment of books to get it. So worth it. Congratulations again!

Adam...I'm LOVING the book. It's an easy read and just like your blog--engaging, funny and informational.
Congratulations!
