<div>“A testament to crowd-sourcing, to accomplished cooks who don’t necessarily blog, and to Food52.com’s smart curating.” —Washington Post The Best Cooks Are Home Cooks Accomplished food writers and editors Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs had a mission: to discover and celebrate the best home cooks in the country. Each week for fifty-two weeks, they ran recipe contests on their website, Food52.com, and the 140 winning recipes make up this book. They include:<ul><li>Double Chocolate Espresso Cookies</li><li>Secret Ingredient Beef Stew</li><li>Simple Summer Peach Cake</li><li>Wishbone Roast Chicken with Herb Butter</li></ul> These recipes prove the truth that great home cooking doesn’t have to be complicated or precious to be memorable. This book captures the community spirit that has made Food52 a success. It features Amanda’s and Merrill’s thoughts and tips on every recipe, plus behind-the-scenes photos, reader comments, and portraits of the contributors—putting you right in the kitchen with America’s most talented cooks. “There’s something for everyone . . . from crowd-pleasing Zucchini Pancakes to elegant Risotto Rosso. And isn’t it heartwarming that something as ephemeral as a blog, about something as transient as food, might be just good enough to make it to your permanent bookshelf? Take a bow, home cooks.” —NPR “Even readers with a shelf full of cookbooks will appreciate the book's broad, creative collection. . . . Cooks of all skill levels will find plenty of room to stretch.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review</div>
