So there has been extensive discussion about what to get for other people, but I have yet to see a thread about what the eGulleteers are asking for over the holidays. Anyone? I'll start; I know I'm getting a new Shun Classic 8" Chef's Knife and a 3.5" Paring Knife ( ) from my parents. I'm also getting Culinary Artistry and Working the Plate, two food-related books (sort of cookbooks, but more reference). Plus, not exactly holidays, but I'm expecting a little money in mid-January and plan on buying The Professional Chef, 8th Edition, about which I am so excited. So... any food-related pressies heading your way?

In 2007, I will eat fresher, more seasonal food, and more vegetables. I will make a sourdough loaf every month. And a Buche de Noel. I will find the perfect bread recipe. (See above) I will learn to make all the really important, basic dishes and sauces. This is the year I will try to use a new spice every week. I will taste caviar and blue cheese. I will use my new knives (yay!) I will give more gifts of food. I will perfect my knife skills. (or try) We... are people? My kids will definitely (hopefully) not exist by the end of 2007. I will teach... maybe. I will read as much of the Professional Chef as I can.
