[kwlug-disc] OT: [About KWLUG] Invitation: Cooking for Geeks / Waterloo / Wednesday / 6pm

[Oksana Goertzen]

Further OT

One of the cornerstone books on cooking that would appeal to nearly all
Geeky Foodies is "On Food and Cooking - The Science and Lore of the Kitchen"

by Harold McGee.  It was out of print for a while but was revised and
re-released not so long ago.
