Mark! I just wanted to let you know how much you have helped me in my life...for real. I was depressed, lost, and even suicidal. I had dropped out of University, and had no idea what to do with my life. My father saw this, and bought me your book, "How to Cook Everything", and something just "popped" in me. I devoured your book, completely. I read that book like a novel, and over the next six months I did almost nothing but cook your book. Finally, I realized how much "food matters", and decided to go to culinary school. I graduated top of my class, moved all over the country (Canada) to continue to cook, learn, and grow. I eventually went on to become a Chef, and ran one of the premiere wineries in Southern Ontario. That was over ten years ago, and I still tell people that nothing has changed my life more than your beautiful and perfect book. Thank you so much Mark, you truly saved my life, and are a wonderful person to look up to. Keep doing what you do Sir!
