Weekend Cooking: Rachael Ray's Year in Meals

I got a new cookbook in the mail this week. I'm assuming it's from a Secret Santa because I didn't order it, but I'm in love and very grateful. It's Rachael Ray's newest cookbook that she wrote with her husband, John Cusimano. They did all of their own photography for this project.

She kept a diary for a year and wrote down what she cooked for her family and friends. Some the recipes are fancier with more exotic items than what we're accustomed to her fixing on her talk show and her 30 Minute Meals. There are little notes throughout that are a fun peek into their lives. They even take us with them to Italy!

The book is billed as an "Atria Smart Book." QR codes are scattered throughout that connect you to bonus videos. You can also visit here to access this content.


Then...

When you flip the book over, there are more than 100 drink recipes from her husband.

Have I mentioned that I love this book? I do.

I would have made something from it to share with you today, but it's my birthday. I already planned on ingesting a box of Lactaid so that I can eat my weight in pizza. I've mentioned before how much I love bacon (here and here come to mind), and Papa Murphy's has a Bacon, Bacon, Bacon pizza right now.

But I'm sure you'll hear from me about this cookbook again. Very soon.

Here's the trailer from Rachael.






 Have a terrific weekend,
