I have such a fun book giveaway for you today…a cookbook!
This blog has awarded me with the unique opportunity to meet so many authors. I’ve read such lovely books and have met such lovely people. It has been an amazing experience, that’s for sure!
But today is a brand new experience for me. Today, I get to review my FRIEND’S book!
I’ve known Heath for years. His sister, Becca, has been a really close friend of mine since the day we met at overnight camp. Her and I have been through it all…side ponytails, overalls, and our favorite show “My So-Called Life”…anyone else LOVE that show as much as her and I did?!? Becca has the cutest family…check out and subscribe to their YouTube channel HERE! Love you so much, Becca 🙂
Heath married Becca’s sister and we now live about 2 minutes from each other. When he first wrote his cookbook back in 2017, my husband and I bought our copy immediately! We love it!
Fun Fact: My husband is a HUGE fan of Heath’s cooking. For Jon’s 40th birthday, I hired Heath to come to my house and cook a 5 course MEAT dinner for Jon and his best friend. Both men declared that dinner that Heath cooked to be one of the best meals they have ever had. A huge success!
You can see Heath in action in this link to an awesome news segment that he filmed a few months ago:
Midday Fix: Hangover Help Recipe from Chef Heath Schecter
I’m both honored and excited to share his awesome cookbook with all of you today!
The book itself is gorgeous. It’s filled with beautiful, colorful pictures and has so many interesting and unique recipes. It includes starters, soups & salads, main courses, sous vide cooking, desserts, sides, sauces, seasonings, and so much more!
This chef knows his stuff. You should have smelled my kitchen when he came over to cook for Jon and his friend…DELICIOUS.
This book would make a perfect Father’s Day gift or any gift! It’s a fantastic addition to any kitchen. We love our copy and know that you will, too 🙂
A Conversation with Heath Schecter, in His Own Words:
How did you create the idea for your book?
When my photographer friend, Garry Rosenfeldt, asked to take chef pictures of me. When he did, one of the pictures looked like it would be a great photo for a book. Over the years, as a chef, I have created a lot of recipes. Over those years, my kids wouldn’t really eat most of the food I created. So, having this picture and all these recipes, I decided I’d write a cookbook. I needed a title and figured I’d create a title based off my experience of cooking all these dishes and my kids not wanting any of it, and just wanting buttered noodles, or chicken fingers, etc.
What audience would be most interested in your book?
I think the audience for my cookbook would be anyone that likes to cook. I tried to write the recipes so that anyone could reproduce them.
Where can your book be purchased?
You can find the book on Amazon
Any additional information that you would like to provide about you or your book:
This isn’t a cookbook filled with recipes for kids. These are a collection of recipes I have created over the years. It is filled with a bunch of different dishes that should satisfy all palates.

My favorite meal has to be lobster or steak. Since I don’t have lobster that often, I’ll pick steak. LOL. Thanks for the chance to win. Hubby does all the cooking!

I ordered a whole lobster on our recent vacation to Florida and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had 🙂 BUT cracking it was such hard work! My dinner absolutely exhausted me, lol.

A lot of work but worth it. LOL That’s why I love soft shell crabs and not regular ones. I can eat the whole thing. Being from MD, it’s a big deal.

My favorite meal changes so often because I have so many! Right now I really enjoy the classic tuna casserole. To make it extra comforting, I make my own cream of mushroom soup from scratch.

I am not a chef and I want buttered noodles!!!! I am so excited about this book – I had no idea that this was the chef for J’s b-day MEAT extravaganza. Geoff and I loved that FB post. My favorite meal is and always has been any type of beef/steak (filet, prime rib, ribeye, whatever) with mashed potatoes and a vegetable (buttered peas, buttered carrots, buttered corn). Sadly, I love butter even though it isn’t good for us.
