Cal Peternell’s second cookbook, A Recipe for Cooking, was released last month. This new title delivers seasonal recipes designed to elevate home cooking and help us relish our time in the kitchen whether we’re cooking for family and friends or just ourselves.

His first title, Twelve Recipes, taught the essentials of cooking, and this book takes the reader to a whole new level of challenging recipes to create memorable dining experiences. Have no fear, there are options for simplifying dishes as well.

Peternell has a number of events scheduled to promote A Recipe for Cooking and for more information on this title and the author, please read our review and author interview.

We are pleased to offer ten copies of this title to our EYB Members in the U.S. One of the entry options is to answer the following question in the comments section of this blog post:

What is your favorite meal to serve when entertaining family and friends?

Please note that you must be logged into the Rafflecopter contest before posting or your entry won’t be counted. If you are not already a Member, you can join at no cost. The contest ends December 18th, 2016.
