Seasonal Recipes From Our Kitchens To Yours

Since it stormed its way onto the food blogosphere in September 2009, Food52.com has made its mark by adhering to one simple principle -- the best recipes come from home cooks. Powered by a thriving online community and edited by noted food writers Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs, Food52.com solicits skilled home cooks who compete each week by sending in their "best" seasonally appropriate recipe within a particular category. While Amanda and Merrill choose the finalists, the winners are ultimately determined by the votes of online readers.
This year's community favourites include:
Your Best Holiday Roast-Porcini and Rosemary Crusted Beef Tenderloin with Port Wine Sauce
The Recipe You Want to Be Remembered For-Sunday Pork Ragu
Your Best Dish You (Intentionally) Set on Fire-Flamin' Cajun Shrimp
Your Best Dumplings-Afghan Dumplings with Lamb Kofta and Yogurt Sauce
Your Best Dish in the Raw-Dilled, Crunchy Sweet-Corn Salad with Buttermilk Dressing
Your Best Poolside Cocktail-Boozy Watermelon Rosemary Lemonade
Your Best Late Winter Tart (Sweet or Savory)-Tangerine and Almond Shortbread Tart
THE FOOD52 COOKBOOK II captures the community spirit and flavor that have made the website a success, and includes the authors' expert comments on every recipe, plus behind-the-scenes photos, tips and variations, reader comments, and brief features on the contributors.
