How it Works

COOK THE BOOK

From the beginner to the advanced, a good cookbook on the shelf will inspire and help you be a better cook. You’ll try new recipes, new ingredients and learn cooking tips and techniques to cook up confidence in your kitchen. You may even start cooking without recipes or with tweaks for your own taste and with ingredients you happen to have on hand.

HOW IT WORKS

Get the book:
There are several reasons that you may want to buy our latest Cook the Book pick Morning Glory Farm, and the Family that Feeds an Island: if you have any connection to or have ever visited Martha’s Vineyard you will enjoy this true story about how Morning Glory Farm came to exist, the Athearn family that makes it happen, and the food that feeds the entire island. It is an inspiring collection of 70 recipes from the farm's kitchen, along with recipes from some of Martha’s Vineyard’s favorite chefs that will make you realize the value of getting your food from a farm close to home and taking the time to cook a few family favorites.

Cook the Book:
Gather a few friends to start a cookbook club, cook with your partner, cook with family, or enjoy cooking alone, but try cooking from the book for a 4-6 week period in your own kitchen. For some this may be trying one new recipe a week, leaving the book on your counter, cooking a weekend dinner, or carrying it to the grocery for some inspiration.

Share What You Have Learned:
As you cook, take notes, write in your book (we relish a used cookbook with the chef’s adaptations and personal annotations written in the margins) and share with us what you have learned (likes and dislikes) by submitting comments online at Loulies.
