Do your kitchen skills need a facelift? Looking for helping hand while cooking from a culinary expert? Food Network‘s Anne Burrell is here to help!
The host of two Food Network shows, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef and Worst Cooks in America, believes that anyone–no matter what your skill set–can be a “rock star” in their own kitchen, just as long as you have confidence and the ability to get a great meal on the table without breaking a sweat.
To support her mission of assisting at-home chefs in crafting killer creations, Burrell releases her debut 256-paged cookbook, Cook Like a Rock Star: 125 Recipes, Lessons, and Culinary Secrets, and she’s even given us a copy (a $27.99 value) to give away to one lucky local!
Burrell’s cookbook, which just hit bookstores today (Oct. 4), features rustic, yet elegant recipes that’ll have any novice cook whipping up show-stopping meals in a flash. Whether you want to tackle her recipes for Grilled Shrimp with Chickpea Fries and Pine Nut Salad, Rockin’ Porchetta with Fall Veggies, Whole Wheat Pappardelle, or a Goat Cheese Cheesecake with a spiced Nilla Wafer Crust, there are 125 recipes bound in this book with screaming for your attention.
Better yet, the quirky, classically-trained chef even passes along tips amongst her pages, advising on everything from how to use garlic effectively (“perfume the oil, remove the garlic, and ditch it–it’s fulfilled its garlic destiny”) to how to correctly “sale and pepe” (“salt and pepper are not married, they’re only dating”).
So, you want to nab a copy of this brand-spanking-new fun and inspiring hardcover cookbook? Leave a comment on this post by noon tomorrow, Oct. 5 stating why you need to cook like a rock star in your own kitchen! We will announce our winner via this post shortly after the contest is closed.
Also, don’t miss the vivacious Anne Burrell at her upcoming book signing at Williams-Sonoma of the King of Prussia Mall on Thurs., Oct. 6 from 11 am to 1 pm.
May the best food lover win!
