“The Best of Chef at Home” Cookbook Giveaway
I love cookbooks and the new recipes that come along with them. I received the cookbook called The Best of Chef at Home: Essential Recipes for Today’s Kitchen by Chef Michael Smith. In The Best of Chef at Home, you can enjoy home cooking at its best as Food Network star Chef Michael Smith shares 120 fabulous recipes. In this cookbook, sections include Starters and Snacks; Soups; Salads; Beef; Poultry, Pork & Lamb; Fish & Seafood; Vegetarian; Pasta; Grains, Potatoes, & Beans; Greens & Garden Vegetables; Treats & Baked Goodies; and Jars.
I was also introduced to another wonderful site called Can I Get the Recipe? There are wonderful recipes featured on a daily basis. I signed up to subscribe to it as soon as I saw some of the recipes, including Grilled Lemon Salmon and Broccoli, Potato, and Bacon Frittata. Check it out today!
MY THOUGHTS
I really enjoyed both the site and The Best of Chef at Home Cookbook. There are some wonderful recipes on both the site and in the cookbook. I can’t wait to try out Blue Cheese-Crusted Filet Mignon and Grilled Chicken with Ten Toppings! I rate the site and the cookbook a 5 out of 5 for enjoyment!

I would like to win this cook book because I had no one to teach me the basics of cooking. My father passed away before my mother, and we thirteen kids were then split up. I was one of the lucky ones {??} who went from home to home because I was old enough to “work” for my keep. {washing dishes, dusting, scrubbing floor, etc} I have used library cook books, but it would be a wonderful thing to have a cook book I can call my own.
Both my honey/hubby love to cook. We subscribe to dozens of internet food and recipe websites, but it’s just not the same as a real cookbook! I think the most recent cookbook we have (they are expen$ive!) is one of Rick Bayless’s Mexican recipe books! (aka a long time ago!)
This cookbook sounds especially good and I love to cuddle up on the couch with the hubby and browse through it – rather than standing over his shoulder trying to read the computer screen when looking at recipes! That’s why I would love to win this prize!

i would love to win this cookbook for me… I recently spent a day on the sofa with a cold and watched several Food Network shows and was really inspired to learn to cook new meals for my family instead of the same 15-20 over and over…. now all i need is the recipes to get me going. Believe it or not, after almost 20 years of marriage, I have never bought a cookbook.

I appreciate good flavor and artfully prepared and presented meals — also, it’s intriguing to read what chefs eat in their own home 🙂
Can’t have too many cookbooks! This looks like a good one.
I love trying out new cookbooks and finding the perfect recipe!

I am an avid recipe collector and would love to see Michael Smiths take on “home” chef meals.
I collect and love cook books!
My daughter collects cookbooks. She loves to spend hours at Borders or Barnes & Noble just looking through their collection of cookbooks. She would love this and I could put this to good use as well. We love to try out new recipes at home.
I love Food Network and I would love to win this book by one of its chefs.
