Coming Soon: BEARD ON BEARD: Recipes and Excerpts from Beard: A Memoir (forthcoming Eerdmans)

One of my editors recently said that I write food the way most people write sex. Another joked that my upcoming memoir, Beard (forthcoming from Eerdmans), is a food book with other stories thrown in. It’s not just a food book, I promise, but neither of those editors was entirely wrong. There are many depictions of food in the book, and so, rather than launch a standard literary blog leading up to my book release, I instead plan to release one recipe from the book every month until my release date. As an homage to one of my literary and culinary icons, James Beard, and his masterpiece, Beard on Bread, I am entitling this section of the site: Beard on Beard: Recipes and Excerpts from Beard: A Memoir.
