James Beard Award-winning and self-made chef Naomi Pomeroy's debut cookbook, Taste & Technique features nearly 140 lesson-driven recipes designed to improve the home cook's understanding of techniques and flavor combinations in order to produce simple, but show-stopping meals.

The author understands that the best recipes are the ones that make you a better cook. What I particularly love about Naomi Pomeroy is that she learned her trade by reading and cooking through cookbooks. She worked her way through the classics, studying French technique, learning how to shop for produce, and mastering balance, acidity, and seasoning. Given that fact and her years of dedication to her craft, anyone who truly whats to learn to cook can.

You can learn more about Taste & Technique in our review and recipe post featuring three dishes that can be dinner tonight. We're delighted to offer 2 copies of the book to EYB Members in U.S. and Canada.  One of the entry options is to answer the following question in the comments section of this blog post:
