Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

I STILL miss the fresh bratwurst from when I was growing up in Germany! I have had some here in the US that comes close ... but it isn't quite the same!!

When I was growing up, my mother made the most amazing Chocolate Cream pies! I STILL ask for one when I go to visit her!!

Cook the Book: 'Giada's Kitchen'

I have a recipe for a chunky garden tomato sauce with fresh basil that I just LOVE. It runs a close 2nd to my Mom's homemade spaghetti sauce that I have NEVER been able to duplicate correctly!!

Cook the Book: 'The Best Barbecue on Earth'

If we're talking about GRILLED food, then send me back to Germany for some fresh grilled wurst (I wouldn't even be picky about what kind)!

But if we're talking BBQ, send me to Memphis for ribs (and LOTS of them)!!!

Cook the Book: 'The Shun Lee Cookbook'

I'm assuming that if I won an Olympic medal, I'd be in China. So -- I would literally STUFF myself with as much Dim Sum as possible!

Thanks for a great giveaway!!

Cook the Book: Bobby Flay's Grill It!

I would choose Guy Fieri! I have watched him ever since he won on season 2 of "The Next Food Network Star" and I LOVE the food he cooks! It's REAL food -- not pretentious frou-frou food!

Cook the Book: 'Summer on a Plate'

My Dad -- without a doubt! I grew up as an Army Brat and we traveled all over. My Dad took great joy in learning to cook all different types of food and taught me to appreciate it as well. He would NEVER let me say I didn't like something without trying it first!!

Cook the Book: Serves One

My favorite dish to prepare when I am alone is Macaroni & Cheese! It's my FAVORITE comfort food!

I could REALLY use this cookbook as I am so used to cooking for 6 (hubby, 2 step-kids and 2 kids)! Now that I am divorced and kids are gone -- I am clueless as to how to even START cooking for one!!

Thanks!!

Cook the Book: New South Grilling

My Dad's famous Egg Nog (with Bourbon, of course)!! The last Christmas I spent with him, he made a BIG batch of it -- and no one was drinking it. So we managed to polish it off on our own ... and spend the evening laughing and giggling! We had a lot of fun ... and I'm GLAD that's how I remember our last Christmas together -- just the two of us being silly!
