I am not sure why you would think it was pirated. The application is available on iTunes and I believe at the time that I purchased it The Modernist Team promoted it.
Does Ileana Imbtu, the person who uploaded Modernist Cuisine at Home to Scribd, own or control the copyright?

Another night of Georgian Tabaka. Not leftovers, mind you, I seem to keep making it. With my DeLonghi I can grill a Cornish game hen in five minutes, I can't achieve that in the CSO. The spiced chicken is blackened on the outside and juicy within.
Served with Ispanakhis Pkhali (admittedly leftovers, but that's OK), and CSO Soko Ketze, mushrooms baked with cheese. Highly untraditional, but an excellent baguette to wash down the wine.

I now have The Pho Cookbook. I need to stop following this thread.
I got Pho and Vetri's book. Plus another Pho book I saw for $0.00 (US$).

I believe this is where I purchased my copy (which I no longer have). I might still be able to access it but I haven’t tried.
That copy looks pirated though to me. Are there any MC staff on here who could comment?

Is there any mention in Modernist Bread of Georgian cheese breads, khachapuri? Or other Georgian breads? The index is no help, and I confess I have not finished reading MB cover to cover.*
*or more properly, covers to covers.

Yes. That is the version I have purchased quite some time ago for a very good price.
I don't see any way to purchase it?

I have a jar of Peruvian aji amarillo. How do you make the sauce?
For mine I use dried aji amarillo rather than paste. Also aji panca and serrano peppers. Lots of cilantro. Mayonnaise and sour cream. Garlic, lime juice, and vinegar. I don't measure.

Georgian Tabaka from Tiko Tuskadze's Supra (p140). She says when she was little she ate Tabaka almost every day and recently I find myself not far behind. Served, perhaps less traditionally, with Peruvian aji amarillo sauce and tater tots.
Accompanied by Vietnamese stir-fried green beans from The Slanted Door:
Chartreuse Green V.E.P. as the digestive.
Edit: from The Slanted Door cookbook -- I'm a bit far from San Francisco for takeout.

Taken as a whole I'd rather Wegmans than Whole Foods. Produce is much more diverse and as good. Meats and fish equivalent. Prices slightly lower.
As it is I'm stuck with Acme and Giant and Gigante. Not like the 3rd world, but could be better
Count your blessings. I have Shoprite.

Long ago I learned to trust Burpee to ship my plants at more or less the right time.

I've never been in a Walmart, but then I've only been in WF twice.
Whole Foods was pretty. I bought a lovely feather duster that I've used often for years. And bulk chocolate that was inedible.

Eschew modernist carrot soup -- at least modernist carrot soup slavishly following the preparation pictures in the book. No one in their right mind with all their digits slices carrots lengthwise.
Once my thumb had healed I devised a safer method of coring carrots. And since this is the cooking forum I shall share: wash and/or peel carrots according to your preference. Then with a vegetable peeler remove strips (of carrot not of thumb) till you reach the core. Discard core. Proceed with soup.

And bob’s your Hawaiian uncle.
Mine was simpler: bib lettuce, avocado, can of tuna, Hellman's. Lime juice and bread.

My take is that tea towels are linen, muslin or the like, and do a better job of drying dishes whereas hand towels are terry cloth.
For hand towels I prefer cotton. Fortunately, here the bathroom is right next to the kitchen.

Did you have any Neanderthal? We learned tonight in bible study (a unit on our responsibilities towards the natural world and how science and faith can coexist) that people of Northern European backgrounds have 1-3% Neanderthal DNA.
Sorry if I don't have a tea towel to prove it, but according to 23andme.com I am 4% Neanderthal. The good news is I am 96% human.
And for what it's worth my kitchen towels are linen.

I'd love to hear how well the steam function works...and I wish they offered a less expensive model without the microwave.
What is the maximum temperature the Panasonic can cook with steam? (For those who don't know the CSO can steam bake at 450 deg F, 232 deg C.)

My ripoff of Alan Wong’s avocado poke stack.
Facing the prospect of an avocado myself for dinner, I cannot envision exactly what this is? Google took me to the restaurant. My plan is avocado and tuna, which sort of looks like what this is.

I find this appliance very interesting. First, it is technically difficult to combine microwave, roasting oven and steamer into one small box, even more difficult to have convection feature.
For a counter top appliance, it is important to make the outside small and inside big. The microwave electronics (high voltage inverter and magnetron) are very big. The plumbing system for a steamer takes a lot of room, and the heating element for 1000 watts cannot be miniaturized. To avoid burning from the hot case, there is a need to insulate the high heat from baking, and that requires thickness for good insulation. An effective convection needs a good motor and fan and space for return air. ---.
I can't see how this can cook faster, because you cannot microwave, bake and steam at the same time. Each process requires the full 1000 watt power, and your outlet is rated oat only 1800 watts.
Is there a turntable plater? I wonder how even it can microwave.
Just curious.

Yet the specifications claim "Simultaneous Combination Cooking".

Best Buy Canada had the CSO on again recently for $219. Canadian. Back up to $249.CAD today or $203. USD. Newest model.
Seems Best Buy Canada doesn't ship to the US. Otherwise I think my friend would have gone for it. My other friend who recently bought her CSO from Canada complains that wonderful though it is the CSO is too small. Another reason the Panasonic might be nice if it were not vaporware.

Japanese curry...
Previously unused picture from the same batch a few nights ago. Sorry.
Found a bottle of sake in the refrigerator. Yes, I know it is coothless to serve sake with rice, but I claim my right as a barbarian. Besides, I have a seldom used sake cup (old picture):

How Do You Feel About Buying and Using e-Cookbooks?

This was the link I followed where I could not find the way to purchase. I agree I can't see @nathanm and company letting intellectual property infringement go unpunished. However I still think that the scribd.com copy looks fishy.
Why do you no longer have your copy?
