PrintRuth Reichl Channels Oprah
I just found this article in Publishers Weekly here at work: Gourmet Starts Cookbook Club
It seems like a cool idea– Gourmet Magazine starting an Oprah-esque book club, intending to help readers weed through the thousands of cookbooks out there (much like a very useful website we all know and love!) Oprah helped get a lot of people to read who wouldn't necessarily pick up a book in their free time. Gourmet readers probably already do a lot of cooking and cookbook reading, but a recommendation from such a source would be nice to have when there are over 24,000 new cookbooks each year.

I think it's a great idea and about time. Cookbook fanatics (who me?) are treated like the redheaded stepchildren of the book store. I'd love to be kept aware of the newest publications and also chat about favorite cookbooks.
