Family Kitchen
{Cookbook Giveaway} Fabulicious by Teresa Giudice
(This giveaway is now closed)
Are there any Real Housewives of New Jersey fans out there?
Whether or not you watch the show, you are probably familiar with feisty Teresa Giudice, most infamously known for her sassy attitude, as well as her fiery temper resulting in a flipping table moment at dinner.
But that’s besides the point. Teresa, like most Italian women, also loves to cook. Her second cookbook, Fabulicious, is a collection of her traditional family recipes… simple, fresh and delicious Italian recipes for the experienced cook as well as for someone just wanting to learn how to prepare good Italian food. Her book includes recipes from quickie tomato sauces to one of my favorite Italian meals, sausage and peppers. She also shares her mother’s meatball recipe along with instructions on how to roast red peppers, a staple in Italian cooking.
Family Kitchen is happy to giveaway a copy of Fabulicious to one lucky reader. Read on for details.
From Amazon.com:
As the breakout star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa Giudice has quickly become a household name–and a New York Times bestselling author. Her first book, Skinny Italian, showcased the health benefits of Old World Italian cuisine. Now she returns with 60 more flavorful family recipes straight from Salerno–with an emphasis on preparing, serving, and eating meals with the ones you love. Teresa shares her simple, inexpensive, and “fabulicious” dishes, including:
• Secret family recipes: Featuring her Mama’s meatballs and her mother-in-law’s Ti AmoTiramisu, the dessert that loves you back.
• Celebration cooking: From one-dish feasts to the perfect potluck take-alongs, including entertaining tips for any occasion.
• Light lunches: Spotlighting lighter fare, smaller portions, and sensational salads (as well as Panini!).
• Kid friendly meals: How to go beyond mac-and-cheese, and get little ones involved in the kitchen.
Details:

Tracy Guenther commented on Aug 10 11 at 9:50 amI am a fan of Aggie’s Kitchen and Family Kitchen. My favorite Italian dish is my signature dish Shrimp Linguine with white wine butter sauce!
Trina commented on Aug 10 11 at 10:05 amI’m a facebook fan. I don’t have one favorite dish, I love anything Italian, for me it’s the process. Chopping garlic and having that fantastic smell on my hands hours after the meal is done…the combination of fresh ingredients, resulting in a hearty, healthy meal that almost always leaves enough leftover for a yummy lunch for mom the next day.
