I found out the other day that R.W. Apple's wife is going to be auctioning off his wine collection. I have blogged about him a bunch of times and was recently pleassantly surprised to finally find an article on Seattle that he wrote before he passed away in 2006.
In the midst of the article about the wine collection being auctioned off, I also found out that his wife is publishing a book of a new collection of more than 50 of Apple's dispatches from the front lines of food called "Far Flung and Well Fed". Needless to say, it has been added to my Amazon list.
Speaking of books on food by men who worked for the New York Times, I just finished Frank Bruni's memoir called "Born Round: The Secret History of a Full-Time Eater". Enjoyed it, particularly the chapters around the cat and mouse game he had to play with restaurants while being the New York Times restaurant critic as well as what went into his review of Wild Salmon, a Pacific Northwest themed restaurant, which I actually blogged about here.
You can read about other R.W. Apple entries that we have blogged about here, here and here.
Sticking with the cooking theme, I'll point you to some of the recent creations coming from the Beck kitchen.
And finally, you can always keep track of what is going on with Purple Teeth Cellars here.
