Food, Wine, and Linux may seem like a strange combination, but combining three passions can be a wonderful thing. I'm Marcel Gagné. Those of you who read Cooking with Linux, the multi-award-winning column that appeared monthly in Linux Journal magazine for 10 years, likely agree. With the help of my faithful waiter, François, Restaurant Chez Marcel serves up the finest in Linux and open source software paired with exceptional wines.
In that same spirit, this site features great Linux and Open Source software, ongoing wine tasting reports, recipes, and the occasional restaurant review. If you came here looking to read past Cooking with Linux columns, you'll find newer releases on the front page, a comprehensive list here and under the "CWL, The Column" menu link to the left. A votre santé! Bon appétit!
Cooking with Linux: the magazine column
News Flash! "Cooking with Linux" has won the 2008 Linux Journal Readers' Choice Awards!
With the December 2007 issue of Linux Journal, I celebrated 8 years of uninterrupted "Cooking with Linux"! Every month, in the pages of Linux Journal, I do a rather interesting little column called "Cooking with Linux". Apparently, a great number of you like the column because it was awarded the Linux Journal Readers' Choice Award for the sixth year in a row (!!), 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and now, 2008! (Note: There was no Readers' Choice Award handed out for 2006 or 2007, so for now, I remain undefeated for 8 years). Despite this and for reasons that are still unclear, "Cooking with Linux" is apparently one of the most controversial things every published by Linux Journal. Go figure. Love it or hate it, there's lots of information here. To everyone who voted for me, I thank you most sincerely. You people are the best!
Make sure you pick up your monthly issues at the newstand for a visit with Chef Marcel and his faithful waiter François, for the "Cooking with Linux" column. In case you missed them, here's a sample of what the kitchen served up. At to bottom of this page, you'll find additional pages linked to each year that Cooking with Linux has appeared.
Stay tuned!
