Alright time for Day 10 in the 2017 Holiday Gift Guide and Giveaway.
One of the world’s most recognizable chefs just recently opened his newest restaurant right here in South Walton. Emeril’s Coastal Italian opened its doors at Grand Boulevard to rave reviews in late summer 2017. On any given day, guests may catch a glimpse of Chef Lagasse working the kitchen and working with his team.

For Day 10 in our Holiday Gift Guide & Giveaway, we teamed up with chef Emeril Lagasse to highlight his latest cookbook, Essential Emeril. And even better…he signed a copy for our lucky grand prize winner.
From the book release:
“Emeril Lagasse is a culinary legend. One of the original Food Network stars, he has hosted numerous television shows, opened 12 restaurants, and become one of the most beloved personalities in the industry today, inspiring millions of fans with his great passion for food.
In Essential Emeril, the iconic chef goes back to basics, presenting more than 130 recipes that defined his award-winning career, each tested and perfected for today’s home cook. Dishes such as Crab and Corn Fritters with Fresh Corn Mayo, Roasted Portuguese Pork Loin With Potatoes and Homemade Pimenta Moida, and White Chocolate Bread Pudding With Toasted Macadamia Caramel Sauce reflect a lifetime of lessons in technique, showcasing the big flavor for which he is known and his continued evolution in the kitchen. Emeril is at the reader’s elbow throughout, offering valuable tips and step-by-step photo tutorials to ensure flawless results.
Fans will delight in Emeril’s anecdotes revealing the inspiration behind each recipe, with appearances from A-list names – Mario Batali, Roy Choi, and Nobu Matsuhira, to name a few – alongside family members and early influences such as Julia Child and Charlie Trotter.
Gorgeously photographed and imbued with his signature warmth, Essential Emeril is Emeril’s most personal cookbook yet, offering an intimate portrait of a chef at the top of his game.”
And even better…the copy we are giving away is a signed copy from the man himself. So don’t miss out registering for your chance to win Essential Emeril along with all the other goodies in Santa’s bag.
