Are you an Amateur Chef who has a Signature Dish?

Yet another foodie show soon to hit the wire. A producer from RelativityREAL writes, “If you make at least one signature dish that your family and friends go crazy for, then we are searching for someone EXACTLY LIKE YOU. No professional chefs or fussy, fancy dishes. We’re looking for family favorites and comfort foods…So pick the dish you’re most proud of and put it to the test in a cooking competition that gives amateur chefs the chance to win a BIG CASH PRIZE.” Interested parties should email cookingshow@rrstaff.com before February 8.

Just because you are a parent doesn’t mean that you have to eat hot dogs and Cheerios for every meal! The Gastrokid Cookbook: Feeding a Foodie Family in a Fast-Food World is a GREAT new cook book for our busy families who love and appreciate good food but don’t have the time to prepare a four course, sit down dinner every night. One of the writers is Hugh Garvey who is a features editor at Bon Appetit- he is a true foodie with two young kids and has realized first hand how difficult it is to eat well while being a full time dad. The cookbook comes out in August and can be purchased at most bookstores or online through Amazon.com. Hugh is also considering giving cooking classes to families which could be fun for moms and dads to learn new tricks!
