Welcome to our website. That's me, Mark Scarbrough, on a ferry to Newfoundland, one of my favorite places ever.
Bruce and I are the most published cookbook team in North America with twenty-one books and counting (and NOT counting the ones ghost-written for celebrities), hundreds of articles, several national columns, and over 10,000 original recipes deveoped and tested in our kitchen.
Why's everything "I" and not "we"? Because I'm the writer and Bruce is the chef. The food is mostly his--although I do cook once in a while. I'm the voice.
About that title, Real Food Has Curves: yes, it's the title of one of our books; but it's more than that. I have a good friend in Austin whose mantra is "real is good." She means it about relationships, self-image, and life's important things--but it holds true for food, too. And real food definitely has curves: voluptuous eggplants, curvy shrimp, mashed potatoes.
When you first look at this site, the food blog runns on the left of the page (where these words are now appearing). There are recipes, cooking techniques, discussions, and even a few product reviews. 
All the recipes are ours, some original to the site, most adapted from our books. Bruce and I have been in the business for about 12 years now--longer, if you count the fact that he went to chef school in the early '80s (before going off to a career in advertising) and that I wrote some of the original food and travel content for AOL back in the mid-90s (after giving up a career in academia).
Back on the site, there are two columns immediately to the right of the main food blog. There's a short-hand guide to all the stuff on this site--as well as links to other food sites a form to allow you to contact me directly. There are links to an index of all the blog chapters (aka categories) as well as lists of individual posts. And there's a complete list of our books, with links to buy them on amazon.
As I said, our career is a tandem one: Bruce cooks and I write. But I have told Bruce he should feel free to chip in. He comes in for some good ribbing, so all's fair in love and blogging.
I hope you'll spend some time, drop a comment or two, come back, and see what's new. We're glad you found us.
