Month in Review - June 2008

July 1, 2008

It’s an exciting time here at The New Cook. First, as should be obvious, I have put up a new design for the site. Functionality should be more or less the same, but I wanted a third column. Please, please, please email me if you have any problems viewing or using the site.

Second, an introduction to Cooking 101, a new series, will be posted tomorrow, and a giveaway announcement will come Friday. Huzzah! Free prizes!

Third, today starts the beginning of a Foodbuzz contest. Foodbuzz is measuring bloggers who signed up in May for the largest increase in readership through September and is awarding first, second and third place prizes. So over the next three months, I’ll see if I can really get this blog rolling.

Here are the top posts from June:

Most Commented:

Basic Lo Mein - This is a quick but delicious meal that you can make from whatever ingredients you have on hand. A few people made it and said it turned out good.

Most Viewed:

Broccole Slaw and Apple Salad - This is a surprisingly delicious and refreshing salad. It has the perfect mix of crunch, sweetness and tartness.

My Favorites:

Basic Frittata Recipe - I made a frittata for the first time and it turned out to be the perfect meal for a quick dinner with whatever ingredients are available.

Simple Roast Chicken - Again, a first for me. Roasting chicken was a little gross at first, but certainly worthwhile. Now I just need to learn how to make a stock with the bones!

Annisa in New York City - This is the chronicle of my experience at an upscale restaurant in New York.  I don’t know if it was interesting to read about, but it sure was fun eating there.

Stay tuned, exciting happenings are on the horizon…
