I’ve recently started reading McGee’s classic — On Food and Cooking. It had been recommended many times both by my father, and amazon recommendations (not that I really take them all that seriously). It’s fantastic. I love it. Being a bit of an intrepid scientist at heart, I like cookbooks/guidebooks/&c. that don’t tell you the …

More Video Production
Over the summer of 2012, I worked as the General Coördinator for Pembroke College International Programmes. During this summer I also got the chance to help film and produce a wonderful little informational pseudo-documentary (infomentary?) on The Pembroke-King’s Programme.

Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket
So maybe a year and a half back, Yvon Chouinard’s book-Let My People Go Surfing-popped up on my business-books-to-read radar. I read it, loved the story behind it, bought into the ideology entirely and recommended the book to a whole bunch of friends (who I hope have enjoyed it too). It’s a different kind of …
