Win A Copy of Ducasse Made Simple
I've noticed lately that the trend seems to be for good food made in a style more in tune with today's busy lifestyles. But there is still room for elgant fare. In pursuit of that a great tool is the new Ducasse Made Simple by Sophie, a cookbook which features 100 recipes from master chef Alain Ducasse's encyclopedic Grand Livre de Cuisine. Sophie Dudemaine, the author, adapted 100 of his most famous recipes for the home cook making them simpler but not overly dumbed down. The book includes some classics such as Cream of Pumpkin soup, Lobster Newburg and Crepes Suzette. Each recipe has its own spread with a picture of the food on the right. It's not the most lavish presentation ever, this is a book clearly meant to be used rather than simply flipped through. Which is why I'm hoping that people with a love of kitchen experimentation will take part in today's contest. I'm giving away two copies of this cookbook. To win, leave a comment telling me what food you most look forward to when the weather gets colder.
To enter, all you need to do is leave a comment below before 5:00PM Eastern, Friday, October 10 2008. We'll randomly choose two winners amongst the eligible entries.

Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat,
Please to put a penny in an old man's hat;
If you haven't got a penny a ha'penny will do,
If you haven't got a ha'penny, God bless you.

Cold here in Florida may only mean temps dipping down into the 60's overnight, but it still means a change in food items. We look forward to all the area eateries putting chicken soup back on their menus. Yum.

No food better welcomes the dawn of autumn than the smell (and taste) of a moist apple pork chop in the oven.

Nothing beats either good old New England clam chowder or pot roast for me.

here in Houston it mean's lots of bbq. Lobster, steak, crab, etc, it's all fair game. Sit outside by the bbq pit, drink some wine (or belgian beer!) and enjoy just the little bit of chill in the air.

Beef stew is always good.
