UAE, Professional Chef.

Mine arrived 4/4 and a colleague of mine got his copy about a week later.

Interesting. So far, owners of Modernist Cuisine who here identify themselves as either amateur or professional are running about ten to one amateur vs pro.

My books are here! My books are HERE!

I'm in Canberra, Australia

Just someone who loves to cook!

Also, anyone had any marital problems after their spouse discovered how much you paid for it?

No issue with my husband since he bought them for me!

[Chris Amirault]

I bought and possess a copy, ordered fall 2010 and arrived in the first wave. (I also had online access and a review copy before that. Yes, I know, lucky me.)

I work in Providence RI and live in a suburb.

I run a preschool but also work as a bartender and cocktail consultant in RI.

I know of at least three chefs and/or cooking school faculty who have bought copies.

architect by day, aspiring chef by night

[gdenby]

Got mine about 10 days ago, here in South Bend, IN. Avid home cook with no substantial cooking before the age of 50. Need all the fundamental information I can get.

Kansas City (Kansas side, Westwood Hills), amateur home cook, urban setting. Really enjoying the first book so far.

[eac]

Pittsburgh, PA. Amateur; have immersion circulator, next up is chamber vacuum sealer. Research programmer.

[enthusiast]

Tunbridge Wells, Kent, UK - suburbia exemplified.

Keen amateur but sadly delusional. I will have to retire to make the most of this but i can't - i have 6 children and i'm only 47...

Just got my copy from Barnes and Noble! Ordered on Friday, didn't think I'd get to see one until the second edition. I live in Eugene, Oregon and am an ambitious home cook. A little overwhelmed by the enormity of this thing right now...

[chefhenry]

Got my copy about two months ago, just joined the forums here very recently though. Professional cook but ironically will not be using this book, or any out of my collection at work. The fine dining, sous vide, hydrocolloids, etc... Are for my home cooking.

Located in Edmonton, Alberta these days, but work up in the oil-sands camps, feeding the workers extracting the oil.

[Chris Amirault]

Welcome, chefhenry! Do you have access to water baths at work? I'd think that the ability to cook and hold until service would be a boon in that situation.
