Dorie's Around My French Table Giveaway!

Friday, September 24, 2010

Win this book!

This summer was challenging. The weather was gloomy, and so were some other things. I dropped off a lot of blogging, but now that "fall" is here, I'm hoping to come back to the swing of things! (btw, "Fall" in Los Angeles includes 90 degree temps this weekend! Eeck!)

This fall, I'm joining a new cooking group! French Fridays with Dorie is a sister project of Tuesdays with Dorie. The awesome Dorie Greenspan has a new book out and FFwD is going to go through the book one recipe at a time.

Since "cooking" to me usually involves mixing TWO different cereals, soy milk AND a sliced banana (oh yes, that is four different ingredients!), I am looking forward this group!

And if you want to join, register here.

My Tuesdays with Dorie friend Mary (such a cool name!) has given me an early 40th birthday gift of Dorie's new book! Whoo hoo! It is beautiful and I can't wait to start cooking. Then I thought, what better way to celebrate Fall, Dorie, Birthdays, Friends and all that good stuff, than by paying it forward and giving one person a copy of the book?!

To enter the giveaway (one copy of Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours), just leave a comment (if you aren't connected to a blog, leave your email address...and if you have a blogger account but it's private so I can't see it...leave your email address). Deadline is Thursday, September 30, 2010 at midnight PDT. Only US addresses. FTC disclosure: I'm paying for this myself.

{10/1/2010 update: Contest is closed! Congrats to #35 The Goatherd}

Good luck and happy cooking! - mary the food librarian

I'd love to win the book - I'd even join the group if it's still open. My cooking skills are very weak compared to my baking fu.

The Goatherd said... [Reply to comment]

I have just loved following your blog. As a displaced Los Angeleno, I love seeing where you are eating...especially sushi and dim sum. I wish I was as organized as you are to be able to take lovely baked goods to your colleagues. Anyway, I look forward to more cooking with you!

As much as I would love to be part of the project it will not work for me. But would love to try out the recipes in my own time :)

Jessie @ simplysifted said... [Reply to comment]

I absolutely love Dorie's baking cookbook. Maybe this new book is what I need to get me to make more "real" food?

I chuckled over your recent post about how easy it was to grow tomatoes. The second best way to grow tomatoes is to have a spouse who loves to garden. That's how I do it!
Spouse loves to cook too so I am entering so I can give this to him as a gift. He'll love it!

Unknown said... [Reply to comment]

This looks like a great challenge! Maybe I'll join.. but I have been feeling a bit too busy so taking things OFF my plate would be a good idea. When the being busier option is to put Dorie's good food ON my plate I'm really tempted.

Beth said... [Reply to comment]

How generous of you! I'm looking forward to trying these recipes, whether or not I win the cookbook. Thanks!
