Fall Fest Cookbook Giveaway!

By bethany (dreadlockgirl), 20,November,2009 13:35

We all love yummy food, especially when it is cooked with time and care and excellent ingredients. And what is even better is when those recipes come from cookbooks that make you want to just cook food for your family all day long!

I have two of those type of cookbooks to offer to you my reader. Hachette has offered me three sets of these two cookbooks for a giveaway. Yes that’s right! Each of three winners will get BOTH cookbooks, both. That is a good thing because after looking though mine I have no idea which I would have told you to choose over the other, although chocolate does always win out over actual meals for me- so that would probably be my choice.

These are the books:

How to Roast a Lamb: Greek Classic Cooking By Michael Psilakis, Barbara Kafka

Chocolate: A Love Story: 65 Chocolate Dessert Recipes from Max Brenner’s Private Collection By Max Brenner, Yonatan Factor

Throughout the next couple of weeks I will highlight each of these books by cooking a scrumptious recipe of my choice to share with you! I know you are drooling already, so here is how to enter to the giveaway for one set of your own books.

  1. My favorite cookbook is The Moosewood Cookbook. I not only love the recipes, but I love the graphics that go with them.

    Oooh. You’ve hit my true weakness. I don’t think I can pick a favorite cookbook, but I do love Laurel’s Kitchen–vintage vegetarian with great tips on bread-making.

  3. Heather says:

    Okay. I’ve tweeted. :)

    I’m sorry to say, I don’t have a favorite cookbook. I can say I have an old Betty Crocker cookbook. I love buying the cookbooks that are made for fundraisers (churches, etc)

    I love my Better Homes cookbook…you know, the red-and-white checkered one, looks like a picnic table. My mom had the same one when we were little, so all my childhood faves are in there.

    So hard to pick a favourite but one would be a battered, independently-published Mexican cookbook my mom gave me years ago because it has everything to be made from scratch, the old-fashioned way. And because I’m crazy for Mexican food.

  7. Bitsy says:

    I’m divided between my older copy of a Better Homes cookbook, the same one my mother has so we can discuss the same recipes over the phone, and my Amish/Mennonite cook book which has lots of delicious PA Dutch home cooking, though often meant for crowds far larger than I’m entertaining!

  8. Maureen says:

    It is so hard to pick just one because I have a number and they all have reicpes I use. But I think if I have to pick just one it will be Susan branch’s Christmas from the Heart of the Home.

  9. Heather says:

    My favorite is probably How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman. I haven’t cooked a bad recipe from it yet and it’s so easy to use. Love it!

  10. Wendy says:

    I absolutely adore Laurie Colwin’s part memoir, part cookbook: Home Cooking. Colwin’s writing is so warm and accessible…she makes you feel like you are one of her dearest friends in this slim book. Sadly, she died an early death from cancer…but she lives on in her books (she also wrote fiction). This is one book I think every woman should have…

    I just sent a tweet about this giveaway :)

    My all-time favorite basic cookbook is from Pillsbury, bought in the 70’s, although I also have several others I use now.

  13. Tomi says:

    My all time favorite cookbook is a Better Homes & Garden’s cookbook my hubby’s mom gave him when he moved out on his own over 20 years ago. It’s not the prettiest cookbook, it’s weathered, torn & tattered and held together w/ electrical tape, but still one of the best cookbooks ever.

  14. Wanda says:

    My all-time favourite is The Joy of Cooking because I’ve used more recipes from that book than from any other.
