When I read about Cooking in the Moment by Andrea Reusing, I knew I had to have it. So what does a blogger do? Contact the publisher for a review & giveaway copy!
Believe it or not, I used to subscribe to Eating Well magazine back before I cooked regularly. The exotic ingredients and dishes were fun to read about, but seemed way beyond my capabilities (besides, half the time I had no idea what they were talking about!) So it was kind of funny when I re-subscribed years later, only to discover that what once seemed exotic was now fresh and something I would actually cook. Funny how that happens. But I digress.
One of my favorite experiences is receiving a book to review, then discovering that it was written by some bloggers. It's almost like getting an extension of the book for free! Such was the case with Ideas in Food: Great Recipes and Why They Work.
Sometimes I feel so "not-in-the-know" when a publisher sends a cookbook to me that features the author prominently, and I have absolutely no clue who it is. Makes me feel like a total poser. What business have I reviewing cookbooks if I don't even know enough chefs/TV personalities/gardening gurus to recognize them on their own cookbook?
