As someone who has prepared nearly every meal on more days than not for more decades than I’d like to count, I have naturally accumulated volume after volume of cookbooks, thousands of recipes on file, and lists of recipes I just have to get around to trying, but the book that I use most to help take much of the mental stress out of meal prep is The Flavor Bible. The fact is, that while I love to put time aside to revel in my kitchen and experiment with different recipes and ingredients; that is not how I cook every day because it’s too time consuming and usually requires a special shopping trip for ingredients that I don’t have on hand. My every day approach to food is simple preparation, using ingredients and flavors that work well together. Having a quick reference guide of ingredients and what flavors best complement that ingredient provides a most valuable tool for creating delicious food!
Because I am so grateful for all of the support and encouragement that I have received from the Instagram community in the months that I have been sharing my pictures, recipes, and tips (and because I know that you love food as much as I do), I am running an Instagram Contest & Giveaway for The Flavor Bible by award winning authors Karen Page & Andrew Droneburg.
