  123. Sheridan March 29, 2013 at 9:20 pm #

    I love Michael Symon! I was just introduced to him, officially, on the Chew just a few weeks ago, but I have seen him off and on over the past few years on various Food Network things. And hey, Michael Symon and Calphalon (as a sales associate for a company that sells Calphalon), you really cannot go wrong with that kind of cookware or such a charismatic chef. Why wouldn’t you want to have a book autographed by a man with such great joie de vivre?!

  124. Laylan March 30, 2013 at 10:15 am #

    I would love to win this cookbook because I’m about to get married and I think it would be a great way to cook nice meals for my husband!
