The CHOPPED Cookbook from the Food Network!
Use What You've Got to Cook Something Great
Written by Food Network Kitchen
Wow, The Food Network
did an extremely fabulous job on this cookbook!
I got it in the mail, when I opened it and turned a few pages, I told my
husband, “Look at this! The pictures seem almost 3D! Don’t they make you hungry or excited to cook
just by looking at them?” The pictures
are fabulous. Being an avid fan of The
Food Networks show “Chopped” I had no idea how they would put together a
cookbook but when I had the opportunity to review the book I of course said,
“Yes send it to me please!”
The cookbook is based on what a homemaker should have in
their pantry on a regular basis and they give you a list. They work off that list, and they also tell
you options for say, the acid ingredient in a recipe can be cider vinegar,
lemon, balsamic vinegar, …..I’m going
off my memory, but they do give you options of what you can swap out. They give several types of sauces that you
can make for vegetables or pasta, etc., and how to easily make them. You have
choices and you can follow recipes for quick dinners for your family with what
you have in your pantry or refrigerator.
This cookbook also has commentary from the judges I’ve come
to feel as If I know and love them. They
tell what their off the beaten path secret ingredient is that they like to keep
in their pantry. What their favorite
ingredient is to use in recipes. What
their go to recipes or meals are that they like to put together on the
fly. It’s very interesting to see their
input in the book. The book makes
everything simple, exciting and even propels you to get out, stock up your
shelves, and start cooking!
