CLOSED Michael Chiarello's Bottega & Progresso Lemon Pepper Panko #myblogspark

A mouthful for a title, right?

There's good reason...wow, do I love to cook.  And I was SUPER excited when I received Michael Chiarello's newest cookbook Michael Chiarello's Bottega along with a box of Progresso Lemon Pepper Panko Breadcrumbs!!  Oh, and the cookbook is autographed!!

I cannot wait to dig into the pages of this book, it is AMAZING (and I do consider myself quite educated on amazing cookbooks...!!)!  According to Chef Chiarello, panko is his "go-to" bread crumb and Progresso claims that their Lemon Pepper Panko "combines the perfect crunch with effortless flavor to give any dish that extra punch.  The large, flaky crumb has a coarser texture than traditional bread crumbs, delivering a lighter, crunchier coating or topping."  Honestly, I cannot wait until we try this out on chicken!!

Chef Chiarello has even helped us "amateurs" by using Progresso's Panko in recipes such as Crispy Seafood Salad, Mama Chiarello's Stuffed Eggplant and Turkey Scallopini and Squash Ravioli with Cranberry Brown Butter.  The Progresso website also has additional tips for cooking with panko and a $1 coupon!

So...how about a giveaway???
