So far I’ve made three recipes from this book; all equally delicious. We’ve been asked to limit the actual recipes we can share, otherwise why would you buy the book. So I’ve only posted one full recipe; Tuscan White Bean Soup. But don’t worry there will be two more that I will hopefully share with you over the next few weeks. But here’s something even better. One lucky reader of this post is going to win their very own copy of Sizzling Skillets and Other One Pot Wonders. But just in case you haven’t been enticed by what you’ve seen so far I’d like to share this with you:
This is Emeril's Eggplant Involtini. What makes this recipe different than any of the hundreds of others out there is that the eggplant is broiled and baked…never fried. Trust me it’s got the same great taste you get from the traditional fried version but not all the added fat and calories. Which I do think is important. Thin layers of eggplant stuffed with a mixture of balsamic, bread crumbs, tomatoes, herbs, pine nuts and mozzarella…you won’t even notice they aren’t fried. And just think of the time savings in the kitchen. I was able to whip a pan of these up in minutes; baked them for about 20 minutes more to melt the cheese and I had a wonderful vegetarian dinner.
Ok…on to the contest. Here’s what you need to do. Leave a comment on this post telling me why you want to win this book. Maybe you’re a huge fan of Emeril (well that’s a given) or maybe you have been waiting for a book with One-Pot recipes. Whatever the reason it doesn’t matter; just let me know. Now if you’d like to “Kick it Up a Notch” you can leave me separate comments for each of the following that you do.

Contest ends Sunday September 18th at midnight EST. Winner will be picked randomly.
Disclosure: I was provided a copy of the cookbook, a set of the serving dishes by zak!, a bottle of Emeril’s spices, and a small grocery reimbursement. Upon completion I will also receive a few of Emeril’s other cookbooks and one blogger will be chosen to win a T-Fal slow cooker. All opinions shared are my own.
I love reading your posts and can't wait for more! I have friended Emeril on Facebook and Twitter. I would love to have his new cookbook. Being a single mom, one pot meals are done several times weekly. I'm always looking for new recipies.
ReplyDeleteWow, that eggplant involtini looks amazing, and I love the fact that's it's a healthified recipe. The idea of a whole cookbook of one pot recipes is really interesting and would be great for weeknight dinners when I'm rushing after work.
ReplyDeleteI "like" Emeril on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteI follow you on twitter as cobblehillgal.
ReplyDeleteThere is little I love more than eggplant covered in cheese! This looks SO GOOD.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win this because I don't have a dishwasher! And so more one pot meals = less cleaning = a happier me!
Love Emeril and I love one pot dishes!!! This book sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYour right who could care about the eggplant being fried if it is covered and surrounded by all that goodness. I have heard great things about this book so I want to win it so I can have some new one pot meals added to my collection. Having a baby in december so I will need one pot meals:)
ReplyDeleteI follow you on twitter and like you on facebook.
ReplyDeleteThat eggplant looks delicious! I want to enter this contest a million times. I now follow Emeril and Morrow Cooks on twitter and am looking forward to their posts and finding new recipes. :) Thanks for this opportunity!
ReplyDeleteLooks glorious. So many great recipes in the book. And of course, don't count me in on the giveaway ;-)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to try this recipe too, it looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect for a person with diabetes! On my list of recipes to try.
ReplyDeleteEmeril taught me the best and only way to make bacon...put it in the oven!
ReplyDeleteI just started drooling when I saw your picture of your Eggplant Involtini dish lol! I like the concept of one-pot cooking because of ease. If I won this cookbook, I'd like to do versions of his recipes that are dairy-free, egg-free, and/or gluten-free for us with food allergies. In fact, I started working on a version of the Involtini that uses a dairy and soy free cheese alternative.
ReplyDeleteI thought I had already Liked Emeril Lagasse on Facebook. Well, it's done now!
ReplyDeleteAlready been following everyone on Twitter! And now I will stop being obnoxious and leave comments for every social media link thingie lol! #overachiever
ReplyDeleteOK, Food Hunter, I'm in for this contest. Mostly since I love one-pot meals. Somehow they are the ultimate comfort foods for me.
ReplyDeleteFood Hunter, this will begin an embarrassment of riches, but you asked for it.

Hi! I would love to win this book because it sounds perfect for fast and easy but tasty recipes such as the pic posted above, that would help me get munchin in no time! I work/commute 15 hour days, and I just moved into my own apartment with my husband who is a veteran, and needs to lose a few lbs from injuries. I would really love any help I can get. Also, I have done all of the above 1-6 of twitter facebook requests! Bless you!
ReplyDeleteWell I never own a cookbook and it would be nice to win one. You are the one that got me watching cooking shows. Well win or lose thanks for getting me watching cooking shows
