So, how does one get a copy of this AF cookbook?
Also need a good recipe for pork...espcially pork chops.......mmmmmmmmm pork chops

 

What will my total be?

I am in the Chcago area...

 

there is none.....yet.
i believe chef did a family cookbook and he knows the website to do it, but there's a minimum order. if i am correct, i thinks it's a costly thing to do for just a few people, but if anyone has ideas on how we could do it, i'd be willing to bet Mr. Chef would get involved.

 

there are six previous pages to this thread.
cookbooks are for cooks.

 

Playa, I think Kelly knows how to read. LOL

As I stated before, I do have copies of MY family cookbook just recently done by a very reasonably priced company. I brought the option of selling some of my books for cost plus shipping if anyone was interested as a way to kinda jump start and promote the AF Cookbook, but we haven't even begun to compile that yet, other than this thread. The price of the Cookbooks, all things done and shipped, would be around $600-$700 for 200+ books. Thereare different prices depending on styles, pictures, covers, etc. and they usually do an overrun of 10% which you need to pay for if the books come out fine.

I'd be happy to ship anywhere in the US a copy of my book for $10. Limited quantities available. I will also donate to the site for everyone sold. If you live in the SoCal area then I'll bring some to the next GTG. AFAIK, only Kelly and Redgoat currently have copies of my cookbook.

Cheers!

 

Well, if you give me $600, then I would definitely give a bigger donation to AF. Otherwise, for $10 I would ship it to you, or if you are coming to the GTG, then I'll just bring a copy.

 

Well, I suppose you have a military id, so you can get past the guys with guns at the gate, but you'd better watch out for my vicious attack dog. His 20lb body has a muscular oblong roundness to it that might throw you off to the fact that he still has most of his teeth left and probably can still remember how to use them! LOL

 

This isa quick and easy one so even if you're not much of a cook, you can do this and it's excellent.

Buy the following:

Enough steak for however many people you're cooking for (center round is good, something fairly thin - not a filet mignon)
Farfalle pasta (aka "bow ties")
Italian dressing (the oil kind, not creamy)
Soy Sauce
Brown Sugar
Italian Herb spice


Cut/cube the steak. You want small bite-size pieces. Make your marinade as follows (or in these proportions):

One bottle Italian dressing
1/4 that amount Soy Sauce
2 tsp brown sugar

Marinate the steak for at least a few hours, but all day/overnight if you can (the longer the better). When it's time to cook, cook your pasta as you would any other time, seasoned with the herb spices. Cook up the steak in a pan on the stove, and if you like (which I do), pour the marinade right in on top of it. Don't overcook or the steak will get tough.

When all's ready, serve up the pasta on a plate, and put the steak/marinade right over top of it - I like to cook it in the marinade and use that as a "sauce" for the whole thing. Serve up with whatever you like on the side - I usually do a garlic french loaf and a salad if the g/f is there.

This is a good one to use to impress a new/potential g/f as well, guys - it's something you're cooking up kind of from scratch (notout of a box), and shows some taste in your selection of seasoned steak and pasta. Serve up with a chablis or something along those lines, and you're good to go.
