I got a new cookbook! In foodie world, this is considered most exciting news. The concept of ‘foodie world’ amuses me. I often forget that outside foodie world, things like say, Cook’s Illustrated, Tastespotting, or Giada DeLaurentiis, are neither common knowledge nor truly exciting. How sad right? Glad I don’t live there! For instance, the grocery I frequent has Giada coming next week for a book signing and they’ve got flyers at every register advertising the event. And still when I exclaimed to my cashier, ‘Wow, Giada’s coming here?!’ I was met with a blank stare and a puzzled ‘who’? This is what I mean, said cashier needs to take a trip to foodie world.
But I digress. My new cookbook is fantastic! It’s everything I love about a cookbook, mouth-watering photography, inspiring food concepts and a multitude of recipes perfect for each season. And even better, I got this latest cookbook for free! Yep, that’s right. I won a raffle the other week (I know, who does that?) and the prize was a Barnes and Noble giftcard. And in foodie world, is there really any question what one uses a raffle-winning Barnes and Noble giftcard for? Right. Besides I already have the Hunger Games trilogy.
