Robin Miller, another in the stable of Food Network's talent, provides a well crafted cookbook here. The premise is pretty straightforward: put together about three homemade recipes for each week of the year.

I have only cooked one recipe so far, Chicken Penne with Artichokes, Tomatoes, and Pesto Cream. I added asparagus and roasted red peppers.
