The Tackling Bittman and His Buddies Recipe Hop!

I am so excited to tell you that we have decided to open up the Tackling Bittman Recipe Blog Hop and allow Bittman’s Buddies to be tackled too!  I know I am partial to Bittman and I usually cook from intuition and use few cookbooks. Bittman’s How to Cook Everything was really the first cookbook I had that I actually used. But you all may have another favorite chef that you love to tackle as much as I love Bittman and I decided it was only fair to let you Tackle whatever chef you wanted and share it with us all!

So, this blog hop is a celebration of all things Bittman and his buddies. If you did a recipe review, a recipe test, an adaptation, a cookbook or article review and you want to share it with us, please join in on the first Thursday of every month to link up! Older blog posts are always welcome as our audience will most likely not have seen them. The ONLY requirement for this hop is the theme or topic be about a recipe created by a chef with a cookbook or a recipe show! If you want to you can share more than one recipe and THIS LINKY WILL NOW BE OPEN ALL MONTH so come on back and share any cookbook recipes you make in April with us!

So, suit up folks, lay out your game plan and get ready to Tackle Bittman and his buddies! This week I am sharing the awesome Mark Bittman Pork Carnitas my brother made when I went to visit him this past weekend!

Rules for linking:

Please use your best blog hop etiquette when linking. The rules are in place to help everyone have the best blog hop experience possible.

If you are new to a blog carnival, or blog hop, it is very easy to learn how to join in the fun! Simply go to the blog post for that carnival and scroll down to the bottom where you will see a small box that will say, Your Next or Your link here. When you click on that link, you will be asked to enter the URL of your recipe or article.

Please link to your article only and not directly to your blog front page. The linky may ask you to upload a photograph from your computer, then you click next and leave a comment on the blog hosts post.

You will also be asked to place a link back to the blog host, which means, adding in the URL of the blog hop post which you can copy from your browser address bar and insert at the bottom of your post. You could also choose to place a blog badge into your post, which was explained below. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

*At least one host will visit or tweet one of your recipes before the next linky period opens, because this is personal for us…we want you to know that we appreciate that you’ve taken the time to create a post, add a link back to the hop, and add your link! We’ll be sure to acknowledge this with a comment and a tweet on Twitter (using hashtag #tacklebitty).

-Multiple links per blog monthly on the Tackling Bittman and his Buddies Recipe Hop are allowed.

-Must include a link back to one/any of the host sites (through worded link or badge) in individual post, not on sidebar…although we love having links on your page, as well (this benefits all of us). You will be sent a gentle reminder if no link is added to your post, we understand that sometimes people forget…but if it becomes a regular occurrence, (even though we don’t like to do it) your post may be removed. It’s just not fair to those who do take the time and show the grace to link back.

-Linky will stay open from 5:00 AM the first Thursday of Every Month, to 11:59 pm the day before the next linky opens. As we said previously, this is a monthly event that runs on the First Thursday of the month.

Let the Tackling begin!

Thanks! Alex@amoderatelife .
