Giveaway: The Best of America's Test Kitchen 2011

This book is so lovely! More than just a cookbook, it's filled with details & descriptions of how to cook and why, scientifically, things are done the way they are done. So many yummy recipes as well! Take a look...

Yes, please, I'll have three of each. You know we love America's Test Kitchen - Jacinda even got to tour their kitchen earlier this year. This cookbook would make a great man gift or addition to your library. We love the details (and drawings) the most:

Check the book out here: The Best of America's Test Kitchen 2011.

So to enter this giveaway, tell us what the best thing is that you cook. I'm famous for my clay pot garlic chicken, but secretly I love plain old green enchiladas with everything from a can, yum.

Leave your comment between now and midnight next Tuesday, December 14th. Tweet, stumble, or facebook the giveaway and leave us another comment letting us know each time for an additional entry. Come back every day for new entries. We will select a winner via random.org and announce next week here on PB.
