BOOK CLUB — The third volume of the Notes From a Kitchen series from James Beard award-winning photographer Jeff Scott will include insights into the creative processes of Alex Stupak of Empellon and Dan Felder of Momofuku's Culinary Lab, among others. Like the first two, the book will include a look at the chefs' notebooks and dish sketches, but Scott says this one will have "a more serious resource aspect" to it than the previous volumes. [~EN~]
