Armed with only $50 each, Bruni dared them to prepare a full meal for six, a showdown which he would judge for the newspaper.The thrill of battle proved too exhilarating to resist, and that initial clash turned into a yearlong kitchen war as Julia and Kim faced off to tackle the most vexing kitchen predicaments, from how best to console friends in need through old-fashioned home cooking to conjuring kids' food that keeps both parents and children happy at a party. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCookFight\u003c\/em\u003e is the delicious result of their brinksmanship, a chronicle of their skirmishes over the course of twelve months and a look at how two very different people--best friends from wildly divergent backgrounds--approach the kitchen. In each heartfelt and hilarious chapter, Kim and Julia confront a new \"challenge\"--those quandaries all home cooks deliberate, from how to strategize a dinner party (the Fancy Food Challenge) to how to eat more seasonally and locally (the Farmer's Market Challenge). Every recipe, from Julia's Caramelized Corn with Mint to Kim's Carnitas, is a delectable testament to their creativity and savvy--only the reader will be able to call the winner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecco Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45356134006935,"sku":"9780061988387","price":1548.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780061988387.webp?v=1767671613","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/cookfight-2-cooks-12-challenges-125-recipes-an-epic-battle-for-kitchen-dominance-9780061988387","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
