Introducing guest blogger Michael Ruhlman

When I converted this site to a food blog, one of my hopes was to have famous food writers visit for guest blogging stints. I extended just such an invitation to Michael Ruhlman a few weeks ago, and to my surprise and delight, he said yes. I've been a big fan of Michael's writing since I read his book, The Soul of a Chef: The Journey Toward Perfection. Long time readers may recall that book sent me into a Thomas Keller frenzy from which I've yet to recover.

It's a real honor for me to have Michael posting here. I look forward to hearing what he has to say and seeing how he adjusts to the world of blogging. A picture will accompany all of Michael's posts so they will be easily distinguishable from my foodish ramblings. Look for his first post later today and please join me in welcoming Michael to Megnut. Yay!

Comparing Frozen Fish to Fresh

My mother swears by frozen fish. I was unconvinced, and decided to put her statements to the test: could flash-frozen fish taste as good as fresh local fish from the Greenmarket or even fresh fish from a local supermarket?
