I want to start off by Thanking Morrow Cookbooks, and Chef Emeril for this amazing opportunity, I am a new Food Blogger and I wan't to say this has been an amazing experience, and I can honestly say I've made some new friends and mentors with this Cook along I never dreamed of doing anything like this before, but I can honestly say I owe it to Sunny Anderson and Aly from Cooking in Stilettos they both have shown me dreams do come true. I can't even begin to show how grateful I am.
I'm a Firefighter/Paramedic by trade and I've always curbed my culinary drive, by cooking in the firehouse my entire career, I'm not saying I'm the best, I'm just saying I love to cook. My drive is to make people happy with the foods I make and I can truly say I've been blessed through my career doing that.
This cookbook is one that is a cookbook you will be able to add to your regular rotation of cookbooks. Its so fun and packed full of great ideas. In this book you can make breakfast, lunch, dinner and desert, you can make the bread, the mayo, the different additions to the sandwiches, Yes..Emeril has given you all the recipes to do that in this book its an amazing book. I keep finding things every time I open the book. I've had it for a month and have made a bunch of recipes, I have blogged about some, and I still haven't scratched the surface yet...I love sandwiches and this book is perfect for the sandwich fan...
I have been introduced to sandwiches I've never tried..Like Red Velvet Whoopie Pies...what are those?? I thought they were easy to make, looked good, and now..I have a new found love of whoopie pies...and so do my kids.. I made them at bedtime before shift recently, I left for work before they got up, but according to my wife...the kitchen was whoopie pie'd and she could have done Kitchen CSI...the kids found them I have a 3 yr old, 4 yr old, and a 6 yr old so as you can imagine they loved them...
I've found old favorites with new and amazing twists, and its challenged me to kick up or put my twist on some of the sandwiches, something Emeril encourages you to do through out the book.
I have made some of these sandwiches at the firehouse, and some at home, and they were always a hit, my favorite so far was the Grilled Spinach Artichoke Dip Sandwich...AMAZING!!!!
So I highly recommend you get this book I promise you won't be disappointed.

Great post, Dewey! Welcome to the blogosphere :)
ReplyDeleteDewey we love having you as part of our cookalong! Welcome to our social media world.
ReplyDeleteI've really got to try the Grilled Spinach Artichoke Dip Sandwich ... you have me drooling over that one!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone I really am overwhelmed at the kindness and the caring of all of you guys, I'm not going to lie I was a little scared never doing anything like this before, and I can honestly say everyone has been awesome, and have helped me soooooo much, I can't even begin to thank everyone it's been an amazing adventure. I have the absolute respect for all of you, and also the responses from Tavia and Ashley, the responses from Emeril himself that has been an unexpected highlight and treat, and the interaction with his staff with questions that we've had it's been a super positive experience and I can say it really meant a lot... And Kim I jokingly said today that I would consider it as a last meal...it really is that good... I've made it 4-5 times and the firehouse was a huge hit with the soup I made with it....again thanks everyone this has been a very memorable experience I will always cherish... Only thing that could make this off the wall is to someday get to meet Emeril....
