gary vaynerchuk vook launch party

Gary and my Aunt Kari at Sonoma, CA Book Signing

Nope, that's not a typo. Tonight at The Bell House in Brooklyn, Gary Vaynerchuk and friends will launch his new vook (lets you watch 18 brand new, exclusive videos of Gary sharing insights that will help you succeed in the digital world) Crush It! Why Now is the Time to Cash in on Your Passion from 9:00pm-1:00am. If anything, you can come to watch me be publicly humiliated by the possibility of my video book review clip being shown. Or, of course to throw Gary just one more high five on his epic, life changing work.

Plus sip on champagne and the opportunity to meet and mingle with a lot of other cool peeps.

What better way to spend a dreary Tuesday? I guarantee. Ya got nothin' on this.

Tickets are FREE and you can get them here.

And if you haven't picked up the book yet (my goodness, shame on you), you're just a click away.

who i am

When faced with the question of what food means to me, conversation inevitably shifts to my Mor-Mor (Swedish for Grandmother): A phenomenal cook who refused help in the kitchen and didn't believe in recipes. The real deal, if you will.

Mor-Mor had a seriously strong hand with garlic (surprisingly for a Swede) and an innate knack for making anything taste implausibly delicious. There was always a jar of homemade garlic oil in her fridge which found its way drizzled on top of almost everything. Like one of her breakfast treats: homemade bread slathered with garlic oil, a few slices of granny smith apple, and topped with extra sharp cheddar. Into her beloved toaster oven they'd go until the cheese had just melted, lovingly, over the apples. The salty-sweet combination could make your head spin—a beautiful cohesion of flavors and textures from such an unexpected pairing.

And then there were her meatballs. With her homemade tomato sauce made from tomatoes grown in her garden, picked when perfectly plump and warm from the summer sun, a ladle of garlic oil, and tons of parsley (Mor-Mor may or may not have been secretly Italian), they sent eyeballs rolling to the backs of people’s heads. The thought alone of her in that kitchen makes my heart long, once again, for her cooking. For her.

Now when I'm cooking, I finally understand her insistence on navigating the kitchen alone. There's something about getting in there and winding down and having your own personal space to create that’s beyond therapeutic—it’s wholly fulfilling and soul-satisfying.
