Roving Lemon's Cookbook Challenge!

Our dear friend and cooking compatriot Roving Lemon has issued a Cookbook Challenge in her wonderful blog Roving Lemon's Big Adventure. I can feel it in me waters...this is destined to be a great annual tradition! Are you up for it folks? Christine and I sure are. Check out her blog to read more about it. In a nutshell, this is how it works.

• Count up all of your cookbooks, recipe clippings and collections and assign them a number. If you have a stack of clippings and print outs you probably want to count them as one.

• Randomly pick a number, ask someone to pick a number, or cut up some paper, number it and draw it from a basket.

• Match the number you drew to your cookbook and you're ready to take the cookbook challenge. Here's mine (All New Complete Cooking Light Cookbook - mmmmm, is someone trying to tell me something?)
  

• Roving Lemon says commit to cooking at least one new recipe from that resource in the next month. Five, if you want to really challenge yourself. Christine and I have decided to do three. Our final recipe will be shared with a group of friends when we are together in December to celebrate the holidays.

• Christine cheated. She has 70 cookbooks to choose from, so had Blue pick three numbers and selected one of the three cookbooks. The book she will be cooking from is The New England Table, by Lora Brady. She will commit to making three recipes this month. The book is sectioned by New England state. Perhaps she should draw a number and pick a state :)!

• Lastly, and most importantly, tell about what you discovered—send us an email, post about it yourself, or comment here. Did you discover a new favorite? Or is this cookbook just a pretty face with nothing in it you can see yourself cooking?

• We plan on sharing our recipes here and also commenting on Roving Lemon's Blog too. Happy cooking!
