Nathan Myhrvold, ex-MSFT CTO And Patent Powerbroker, Gobbles Up A Major Cookbook Award
Nathan Myhrvold, erstwhile Microsoft CTO and now patentpowerbroker extraordinare, has hit the news this weekend, but it's not for his latest licensing deal with a mobile phone maker, or for a lawsuit against a tech company (or three) that refuses to pay up for patents that his company, Intellectual Ventures, owns -- but for a different kettle of fish altogether.Myhrvold has won the James Beard Foundation book award for cookbook of the year -- the top prize in one of the industry's most prestigious accolades -- for a book that deep-dives, appropriately enough, into the science and technology of cooking.His book, the self-publishedModernist Cuisine, is a six-volume,2,438-page effort that he co-wrote with Chris Young and Maxime Bilet (and a 20-person team of cooks), which is selling for $625 (or $455.11 on Amazon).Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/QGz8CRwrQ_M/
