A couple months ago, I learned about the lovely site that is known as TasteBook. See, if you are a cookbook fanatic like me, there sometimes isn’t enough room for all the lovely cookbooks one encounters. Or, perhaps, you have recipes that you use that you found online, but cooking via a laptop isn’t always convenient when counterspace is at a premium (as I found out tonight).

I’m excited – the Food Network is premiering yet another new show. On April 6th – “Cooking For Real” with Sunny Anderson hits tvs everywhere. Who’s Sunny Anderson you ask?
