I received a copy of this book to review from http://www.abramsbooks.com and I was given a copy to giveaway to one lucky reader! Yeah for you!
This book is great for someone like me who uses a lot of recipes because I am still not comfortable with just tossing what I think will taste best. I like that it gives a little history blurb on where the food originated from. This book has a ton of classic home cooking recipes that were tested in home kitchens across America. Since I am Puerto Rican, I love learning how to cook different meals other than Puerto Rican dishes (which I love, too). I love that this book incorporates recipes that have made their way into American meals, but actually originated overseas. I LOVE food and I especially love trying new foods. Their are so many delicious recipes in this book that it is hard not to get hungry when reading over the recipes. The recipes are separated by breakfast, lunch appetizers, salads, soups, fish and shellfish, poultry, meat, grilling, pasta and rice, vegetables, breads and toppings, pies, cakes, and cookies, other desserts and sweets, and drinks. The appendices covers utensils and equipment, cooking terms, herbs and spices, canning and pickling, freezing and thawing, presentation and garnishing, and holiday menus!
One lucky reader will win “The Good Home Cookbook” courtesy of The Good Home Cookbook and HNA Books.

Did you know that I collect cook books? I do! I’ve got lots of them. Even though I’ve been to cooking school and have run my own catering/party planning business I still use cook books all the time! I LOVE Spanish food.. from Spain not Mexican food (though I love that too). I did a Tapas “party” for the gang this weekend and was STOKED beyond words to find at a LOCAL store my FAV Spanish tea cracker/cookies. They are made with olive oil and have a touch of anise and sugar. I never learned to make them when I lived in Spain and I regret it BIG TIME. They are called Tortas de Aceite. These actually came from a bakery in Sevilla about an hour from were I lived, Ines Rosales and I HEART everything they bake there! (entry 2)
