Nathan Myhrvold: Billionaire, Patent Mogul, Award Winning Cookbook Author?

Nathan Myhrvold, the billionaire owner of Seattle patent licensing firm Intellectual Ventures, has had plenty of success, having made his fortune as the Chief Technology Officer at Microsoft, and commanding a (somewhat controversial) storehouse of major patents. However, add that to your list: award winning cookbook author. Myhrvold was just given a James Beard Award for Cookbook of the Year, for his book, "Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking." The award was given Friday.
