[Favorite Food Blogs and Recipe Sites]

I like the Chef Hermes Blog, it's not been going long but it's mixture of industry gossip & short interviews with current and former stars. Generally aimed at chefs and the industry.

Wylie Dufrense from the USA has been on there, along with some of the more major chefs in the UK.

[Restaurant Tom Aikens]

In reply to the starter on this topic "Tom Aikens, is he the best", the answer IMHO is no, not now. Maybe when he was @ Pied a Terre.

Had a meal there in December 07 and to say it was mediocre is being kind, cost nearly £600 for 2

[el Bulli Series]

I know this is an older thread, but i am in an interesting predicament.

So here is the deal, the book is damaged, but not unusable. The binding is torn, corners are dented, and there are nicks in the cover. If I had got this as a used book, it would have been fine, but certainly not for a new book, and especially one with the price tag that El Bulli carries. There is, however, still the problem of it being in Spanish.

My question is should I buy the replacement book in English, or should I get the 03-04 in English and deal with the Spanish version of 98-02. Bear in mind I can't really read Spanish though I took it in school, I may be able to make do.

Hi,

this is my first post on eGullet, so here goes.

I have the 98-02 cd-rom and mine gives me the option of which language to view the disk in. So I would just buy a different book in english.
