Shout it from the rooftops. Let joy be unconfined and laughter relentless. HG’s pal, Stephanie Pierson, has a new book out: The Brisket Book–A Love Story With Recipes. Twelve lively chapters that tell you everything you want to know about delicious, life enhancing brisket. Barbecue. Your Bubbe’s brisket. Simple brisket. Complex brisket. How to cook it. What to eat with it. What to drink with it. What to do with leftovers (Tacos, anyone?). There’s Cuban brisket, Aquavit brisket, brisket in sweet and sour sauce (HG will pass on that one). The publisher is Andrews McMeel Publishing LLC.
The book has a cautionary note about the noble institution of marriage: “You know what marriage is like at the start–all briskets and blow jobs–then it’s downhill from there.”
Gerald – I am thrilled and honored and will be sending this very excellent review to my publisher, who will kvell. I have (oy and yay) gotten much more Jewish since writing this book. So, what could be so bad? And did you hear “brisket” mentioned on Boardwalk Empire last night? I’m plotzing! Brisket love to you!
My fervent wish is to be eating a traditional Jewish brisket with you (accompanied by kasha varnishkes and a river of gravy). I’m getting tired of pork in milk (inside joke).
Ha! If I could see you, I would make you and Sherald every brisket in the book. Except maybe the seitan one.
