People in New York think it’s weird when you ask them to take a picture of you in front of a random window with a poster in it, especially when the Empire State Building is just out of frame (that’s a poster of us at Barnes and Noble on Fifth Ave.)

LAist interviews FITK May 5, 2009

“I’m making pork belly tacos and fresh orange sorbet served in oranges,” Eli Sussman said, when asked what he was currently working on in the kitchen. The twenty-three-year-old LA resident and Detroit native has a passion for food – specifically making great food affordable and accessible. However, the radio promotions manager has no professional culinary training…which is all the better as testament to Freshman In the Kitchen, a cookbook he co-wrote with his brother Max, designed to inspire and take novice chefs on a step-by-step journey through the kitchen. The cookbook starts out with easy and simple recipes and techniques and gradually increases in terms of difficulty. Like many of us who spent at least some of our time in college living in a huge house with a bunch of friends and an often dirty kitchen, Eli used his first-hand experiences to write a book that a college student (or new chef) could relate to and understand. LAist had a chance to talk to Eli about the cookbook process, why it’s important to cook, the LA food scene…and their national debut on The Today Show.
