How it Works

COOK THE BOOK

From the beginner to the advanced, a good cookbook on the shelf will inspire and help you be a better cook. You’ll try new recipes, new ingredients and learn cooking tips and techniques to cook up confidence in your kitchen. You may even start cooking without recipes or with tweaks for your own taste and with ingredients you happen to have on hand.

HOW IT WORKS

Get the book:
Our current pick is How to Roast a Lamb: New Greek Classic Cooking by Mr. Psilakis. It is a terrific book with recipes that show how Mediterranean foods other than Italian are healthy, exciting and delicious.

Cook the Book:
Gather a few friends to start a cookbook club, cook with your partner, cook with family, or enjoy cooking alone, but try cooking from the book for a 4-6 week period in your own kitchen. For some this may be trying one new recipe a week, leaving the book on your counter, cooking a weekend dinner, or carrying it to the grocery for some inspiration.

Share What You Have Learned:
As you cook, take notes, write in your book (we relish a used cookbook with the chef’s adaptations and personal annotations written in the margins) and share with us what you have learned (likes and dislikes) by submitting comments online at Loulies.
