Pick me! Pick me! My foodie blog, Manges! Mangi! is visible to all of our cooking class students and I link new blog entries to my travel guide FB pages and tweet posts, which reach more than 5,000 people! Yet another fun way to spread foodie news.
I rolled the food entries from my personal blog (All Things Lovely) into this food-dedicated blog.
Emeril is the whole reason I learned how to cook. I remember watching him when he first started on Food Network. This is a really awesome idea and I hope I can participate.
oh man this would be amazing to participate in!!!!!!! Just applied
Looks like fun!
I applied when the contest was first posted. I just love Emeril…..one of the best tips I ever had for salads was…”take the ribs out”…and I have been doing that ever since. Emeril’s food is definitely for food lovers and cooks the world over.
From one New Englander to another…..Emeril, you rock!!!

I submitted finally (I hope) in the right place. Sounds like great fun and BAM! to have a chance to see Emeril’s new book and work with it? Wahoo! Thanks for the chance!
To Jamey, Judy, Lenore, and Matthew –
that’s great!! I hope you clicked through to the registration form and signed up.
I did register, but I’m assuming since the notification deadline is passed, I was not chosen
Bummed, but will continue to enjoy whatever Emeril is cooking next.
EMERIL I love your cooking would love your book do not own your cookbooks, but i would love to start my collection.
Love Emeril, would love to be part of this project!
What a fun project!!! I am always looking for more one-pot ideas.
Would love to check out the book for my Monday night food and wine blog!!
I would love to participate! I live in Canada, but according to the admission form it seems that the invitation is only extended to US citizens.
Unfortunately this is only open to US bloggers, my apologies!
it’s amazing all the denirfeft opinions on seasoning and treating cast iron. I usually season mine in my BBQ grill just because of the smoke it can create.I also usually just put a bit of water in there, scrub it just enough to get the stuff loose, then rinse it out good, set it over low heat and rub with oil to season again but I say whatever method works for you is the method you should use cast iron rocks..love to use the dutch ovens when we go camping.
