The Homemade KitchenIn her second cookbook, The Homemade Kitchen, Alana Chernila exalts the beautiful imperfections of food made at home and extends the lessons of cooking through both the quotidian and extraordinary moments of the day. Alana builds upon the concept of her previous book, The Homemade Pantry, with recipes for kitchen staples such as chèvre, tofu, kefir, kimchi, preserved lemons, along with recipes and ideas for using them.

You can read an excerpt from The Homemade Kitchen, and see Alana's book tour schedule on the World Calendar of Cookbook Events. We are delighted to offer four copies of The Homemade Kitchen to EYB Members in the US only. One of the entry options is to answer the following question in the comments section to this blog post:
