Favorite Cookbooks and My New Store


Check out my new store. Click here. You may also find a link to my store at chefcontos.com. On a regular basis I receive many questions about what books I like and what pots and pans I recommend etc. Now you can shop with my recommendations and guidance.


Every Wednesday for seven years I hunt down a New York Times and read the food section. I have had many funny moments doing this, like recently when I asked the shopkeeper if she had anymore Wednesday NYT because all I see is Tuesdays. She looked at me and said "today is Tuesday". Opps.
I try and never miss but sometimes I'm early.

We all like to read and if you are like me you have to much to read. We have our magazine subscriptions, newspapers, and books to name a few. I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite cookbooks, magazines, and books.

In the News

Thank you to Melissa Pasanen and the Burlington Free Press for a great story in last weeks savorvore section. Read below.


This Friday on WCAX Channel 3 at 6:40am, I will be teaching you how to cook one of my favorite asparagus recipes (watch last segment on TV). After that I will head to JP's restaurant in Essex Junction where I will be live on the radio with Nolan & Tara (listen live at The Star 92.9) and having breakfast with one of my colleges from the new Five Corners Farmers' Market. We will be discussing the new farmers market in Essex Junction. Opening day is June 18th 4:30-7:30 and every Friday after that until October 18th. I will be doing a cooking demonstration opening day!
