Wow this book certainly looks interesting! I had no idea what it was till now!
ReplyDeleteRecipes inspired by books? I would love to see all the books they used!
Might be worth buying.
Interesting marinade! Sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! And this book looks exciting, I've been seeing it a lot around lately! The first time I read about The 2012 Book Blogger's Cookbook, it reminded me of my participation in the Alice in Wonderland Week 2 years ago : each day, I posted a recipe related to Alice in Wonderland. It was so fun that I hesitated at the time to make it a regular feature. I didn't, though. :)
ReplyDeleteRecipes and books go so well together! Thanks for sharing.
What fun! I love the recipes you shared. :) Thanks for the link.
DeleteThey sure do go together well! :)
It's just another fun way to let books inspire our lives.
MMMM- looks good and now Im hungry! This might be great for a grill night in the casa....:)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the recipe graphic you posted! Thanks for having the cookbook on your site today! And I'm loving your new header! Glad you enjoyed the chicken skewers.
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you :) And thank you for allowing me to share the recipe.
DeleteYou had me until the soda but then I remembered that my dad always cooked hams in Coca Cola...and kielbasa in it, too...so it must be a secret ingredient!
ReplyDeleteI've done hams in Coca Cola before. It's delicious. Gives the ham a sweet glaze. It did a similar thing with the chicken skewers. It gave it a sweetness that the soy sauce helps balance and enhance.
Delete:)
I've never tried it with sausage! Yum!
I'm always in search of delicious and nutritious recipes to prepare for my family. Thanks for the inspiration and heads up on the new book.
ReplyDeleteNo prob :)
DeleteI'm like that too!
Side note: If you're trying to cut the salt, low sodium soy sauce works great too.
What a cool idea. thanks for the recipe! I am going to check out the tour.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there even was a book bloggers cook book. How creative. Too bad I'm not a bog fan of food since my kidneys failed. This seems like it would be fun to work through the recipes. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAwwww boooo!
Delete*hug*
I do hope you're feeling better.
I've been wondering about you.
I had no idea there was a book blogger cookbook! I want to get it. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the whole idea of this book bloggers' cookbook thing. And I love horseradish, so...yeah, I'm going to have to try this asap. Also? Your new blog header is superbly adorable. :0)
ReplyDeleteM
I was afraid of the horseradish but it realllly worked in this recipe. It gave it a subtle kick. :)
DeleteThanks :)
Looks like an easy dish that even I can make. I wonder how Divergent inspired this recipe since I haven't read the book yet.
ReplyDeletethis cookbook sounds so cool!! i'm glad you enjoyed them!
ReplyDeleteOh I love cookbooks! I hope you share if you try more recipes. I like to see photos done by real people rather than professionals because it tells me how it will really look :)
ReplyDeleteMe too :) A good photographer can make anything look good :)
DeleteI can't cook so I admire people who could make something edible out of an idea in a book!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! These sound so very delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness - that sounds delicious! I don't have a grill, but this may be just the impetus I need to prep and go steal a friend's patio for an evening. *grin*
ReplyDeleteAccording to the recipe you can also broil them in the oven too.
DeleteBut stealing a patio sounds like more fun.
I know I would let you steal my patio if you promised me skewers. ;)
That sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteBook Blogger's Cookbook? Now that's a new idea! I had no idea there was something like this.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome concept for a cookbook! I'll have to check it out, especially since those Dauntless Chicken Skewers look amazing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteLemon lime soda? Huh, interesting. I definitely need to try this.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what soda can do to meat. I did a ham with cola once and it was fab fab fab. :)
DeleteWhat a cool book! I love cooking. Definitely checking this out.
ReplyDeletei've definitely been inspired to make things from books although for some reason my cooking skills never turn out to be as good as the characters in the book! i'll have to check out this cooking book though. maybe it'll be better if i follow a recipe rather than try it on my own.
ReplyDeleteOh I feel you! Good luck :)
DeleteOh wow, sounds like the perfect book for me. I love finding pretty much ANYTHING that relates to a book I love, from recipes to crafts/gifts to music. :)
ReplyDelete-Lauren
Me too :)
DeleteNow there's a novel idea....goes right along with the string of book inspired cookbooks I'm seeing recently. Harry Potter, Game of Thrones....nice find!
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones? You don't say! I should look that one up.
DeleteGreat idea for a cookbook! Haven't heard of it until now, and I'm searching for ways to do chicken. something new and different. Thanks sweetie!
ReplyDeleteMe too. You can never have too many ways to prep chicken.
