Some thoughts concerning this project.
Yes, it is an incredible achievement which will not be repeated for some time.
Will the effect (information) of this "Tome" influence the way we approach cooking in the home? Mostly likely, but the process will take time, beginning first in the restaurant and commercial food industry.
The trickle down will occur as the education and tools become available in the marketplace, at affordable prices. Think of the impact blenders, Cuisinart, etc, or good knives have had. Only in that way will it really begin to be incorporated in the larger culture, when the merchandising meets demand.
Also, as much as this project stimulates my intellectual curiosity and aesthetic sensibilities, the aura of elitism permeates the inclusiveness of its release. The guest list; was limited to the few who have/had made significant contribution to the discourse of cuisine were present. Absent were the faces, and they, the faces on TV; really are the reflection of our culture, not a “Tome” which, for all practical purposes, is inaccessible to the public emotionally and financially.
The financial cost of dinner and equipment etc is an issue I will address shortly.

This is an incredibly important project, as it codified Modern cuisine and changes food T & P as we know it. The last time something of this nature was established, and it pale's in comparison was by Auguste Escoffier when Louis XV reign as King of France.

Chef Penn,
I forwarded this to my mentor at school, an older Frech Chef, and he said, "Well, we will see. I will look at it."
Very exciting for your friend to have a Cookbook series parlayed to Escoffier.

Can we look forward to your new blog "Penn and Nathan"? Are you going to cook your way through it?
Julie and Julia was my favorite chick flick (I laughed at her comment about butter and the end of the world and cried when she fell asleep cooking coq au vin) I was forced to sit through it . . . when it got tough, I reminded myself she was an OSS agent.

Dozer Sir,
Sorry you were forced to sit though it.
In reality, Julia Childs was, is, and always will be, a bad-ass Chef! The fact that she was a female IS irrelevant. The fact that she was a bad-ass is.
She was, and always will be, an INCREDIBLE Chef, who overcame oppression, and kicked it's ass!

oh for crying out loud.
I use the word "chick" in a movie discription and I become an oppressive chauvanist lacking in respect for a 'badass'. Did you miss the word "favorite"? " Did you think I was all pink about the OSS?
(Maybe I'm just overly sensitive about the word "badass" right now)
pardon-am-wah 
Take THIS! (it was in the movie)

No Sir, I do not think, nor have I ever thought you a, "oppressive chauvanist lacking in respect for a 'badass'", Sir. 
In fact, the word "chick" is used more often by myself, than anyone I know in our culinary environment.
So no, I will not be crying out loud...instead hardcore soups, sauces, and plates, will be made!!! Until they tell me to stop...

Back to the cook book...I didn't find gumbo in the index (way over indexed, BTW) so I'll give this book a pass.

I tried the "poached egg" method from the movie this morning...it didn't work. We have "The Way to Cook" so I'll read the instructions next time.

In other words, you'll pay someone else to steal the content for you.
