Cookbook Spotlight - Kitchen Sense by Mitchell Davis

25 food bloggers. 1 cookbook. Outstanding choices.

When Cath and I invited several food blogger friends to join us in our
inaugural Cookbook Spotlight event, we were all curious to see what everyone
would choose from Mitchell Davis's new cookbook, "Kitchen Sense," to make.
As it turned out, everyone chose something different -- and with surprising
results. One foodie made that most "Southern" of dishes -- fried chicken --
in Singapore!

And despite initial disappointments regarding the lack of photos, we
discovered that half the fun of the event was seeing how fellow food
bloggers style and photograph their masterpieces -- so technically, the book
does have photos!

Here's part two of the round up -- Cath has part one at A Blithe Palate -- enjoy!

Lis over at La Mia Cucina is from Ohio, USA and made Davis' "Ultimate Macaroni and Cheese".

Ali Cat from Something So Clever in Montana, USA made a very wonderful looking "Grilled Portobello and Sun Dried Tomato Sandwich with Garlic Herb Mayo".

Up next is Jennifer from Fallen Souffle and her delicious "Berry Crisp".

Tania from the lovely Candied Quince made a mouthwatering "Warm Barley Salad with Green Beans and Corn".

Dave over at The Fumbling Foodie lives in Glendale Arizona, USA. Dave didn't post about a dish he made, but he has a fantastic view on the book.

Here's Adam from Austin, Texas USA and his site

Men In Aprons who tried out the recipe for Cranberry Jonnycakes.

And now let's head over to Sweetnicks and read Cate's review, shall we?

Great minds think alike... Ruth at Once Upon a Feast from Toronto, Ontario also made "The Ultimate Macaroni and Cheese"!

As for me here in Calgary, Alberta, I made 3 dishes at i like to cook

- "Burst Cherry Tomatos", "Buttermilk Biscuits with Sausage Gravy", and "Succotash".

The verdict? A great book and a lot of fun. Thank you to everyone who
agreed to join us and helped us satisfy our curiosity to the question --
what happens when 25 foodies get the same cookbook?
