IT'S TIME FOR A GIVEAWAY! WOULD YOU LOVE A NEW COOKBOOK?




Good Wednesday Everyone!  It is now the middle of July, hot as all get out, and my motivation is wilting faster than a morning glory in the sun.  That is why this is the PERFECT time to offer a giveaway!  And this giveaway is something that all you food-loving-cookbook-collecting bloggy friends are gonna love!


Introducing my newest FAV cookbook, "Things Cooks Love: Implements, Ingredients, Recipes" by Marie Simmons and Sur la table.  This gorgeous book speaks to the love cooks of all levels feel for their tools; whether you have a new copper pot or a well-loved cast-iron skillet, this author takes you by the hand, so to speak, and explains not only how to care for it but how and when to use it.


Things Cooks Love features over 100 pieces of cookware and tools and also over 100 recipes from 10 different countries.  Ever wanted to make Double Corn Bread with Smoked Mozzarella and Sun-Dried Tomatoes (highlighting your Cast-Iron Skillet) or Classic Chicken Bisteeya (highlighting the Moroccan Kitchen)?  Well, now you can!  Ever wanted to get the scoop on making clarified butter (or Ghee, though the book did explain that I could use regular butter if I chose to not make the Ghee)?  It's all explained, in easy-to-understand terms, in this fantabulous book. 


Also, I will probably never own a "Couscoussičre", but it's good to know that a colander, lined with dampened cheesecloth if the holes are too big, placed over a deep pot of water, would work just as well!  See what wealth of knowledge you will have once you are done reading this book?  Who Knew!!    ;)


So, now that you have read all about this book, enter to win a copy of it!  That's right....WIN IT!  I have 2, count 'em, TWO copies of this fantabulous book, so there is going to be 2 winners!!  YAY! 


Here's how to enter:


Required Entry:  I'm going to make this a fun entry.  Just tell me what kind of kitchen utensil you'd love to try using and what you'd make with it.  For instance, here is my want-to-try utensil: a ricer, and I'd use it to rice potatoes.

  1. I would like to try out a mandolin. With it I'd slice up french fries so fast it would make your head spin!

  2. Boy, I blew my brain on entry #1....too much thinking, but what about that bread slicing gadget thingy I saw, you can adjust the blades for your thickness of bread. I'd use this if I ever made homemade bread! Oh, don't tell on me! mjjaegly@yahoo.com
