Cook the Book: The Cornbread Gospels

My grandmother's cornbread is fabulous-every Sunday after church she makes it in a well seasoned cast iron pan in the leftover oil from frying chicken. Everyone looks forward to church now!

Cook the Book: The Sweet Melissa Baking Book

I'd have to say it's a tie between creme brulee and white chocolate raspberry cheesecake

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

Instead of adding ice to win, use frozen grapes. They'll chill the wine without diluting it.

Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway

Every year my mom makes a delicious brown sugar spiral ham, she uses plastic ziploc bags as mitts and rubs the brown sugar in all the cracks and crevices before she bakes it, it's wonderful

Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'

My friend clipped an article from a magazine which proclaimed that if you made a particular recipe called "Engagement chicken" that your boyfriend would be sure to propose to you. I thought it couldn't hurt and stopped at the grocery store to get the necessary ingredients, hurrying home to put it together and get it in the oven. Well, time must have gotten away from me because the next thing I heard was the smoke alarm going off. I flew into the kitchen and flung open the oven door only to be greeted with a dried out husk of a bird and a large puff of smoke. We ended up ordering Chinese food instead. I plan on giving it another shot in the near future.
