I know have a lot of fellow foodies that follow the site and I’m always looking for great ways to pump up my cooking skills too. As many of you know I wrote a cookbook a few years ago, but I would never call myself a chef because I didn’t go to culinary school. I respect and appreciate those who study the art of food and love collecting great cookbooks in my own home. When I heard about Alison Cayne’s new cookbook I knew it as something that needed to be shared with you all.

Alison Cayne takes the essential skills gleaned from her popular cooking school classes at Haven’s Kitchen and has compiled them into her first comprehensive teaching cookbook, The Haven’s Kitchen Cooking School.

The Haven’s Kitchen Cooking School includes 100 delicious recipes carefully chosen by Cayne and her expert staff with food inspired by global cuisine and a modern sensibility of how we like to eat today. Amazing right?!

To help you on your culinary journey, we’re giving one lucky reader a chance to win The Haven’s Cooking School cookbook and a William Sonoma stainless steel tool-set! Enter to below for your chance to win!
