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 love this recipe book because I love to cook. I love collecting as many recipe books as possible.
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.

I want to win because I’m intrigued by the section, Jars. I wonder if it’s about canning or cookie mixes for jars. Either way sounds good.
