A Giveaway!


There's a lot to celebrate in October!

First  I want to wish all of you a fun and scary Halloween!

Second, I have been blogging two years this month. It went by in flash, didn't it?  So fast, I even forgot to celebrate my first year blogging last year! So to celebrate this blogoversay, I'm going to have a giveaway. Four fabulous cookbooks for four fabulous readers!
Drum roll, please....


How about that? Isn't this a super giveaway? Maida Heatter....Rose Levy Beranbaum.....Nigella.....and Dorie!

To win one of these lovely cookbooks, just leave a comment letting me know which cookbook is one you've always wanted and if you become a follower, you'll get two entries! (Please leave a separate comment for each.) And make certain I have your email address.
Have a lovely holiday week. 
I'll announce the winners on November 5th.

What a great giveaway! Dorie's book is one that I have been looking to add to my collection for Christmas. There have been so much buzz with her cooking club.

Congrats Barbara!! To love blogging so much that you MISS your own anniversary, well that says something about how much you love blogging! Lovely books and I'd be really torn between Nigella and Dorie's - both would be a terrific addition to my own library!

Hungry Dog said...

I would like the Dorie book. Why? Because I want to jump into that pot and snuggle with the chicken. That's how good it looks to me. Is that so wrong?

Hungry Dog said...

Happy 2nd Anniversary !

What a great giveaway... I would love to win the Dorie book.

Blessings on you
Christine

Katerina said...

Barbara this is a great giveaway. I know Nigella and Dorie. I don't know the other two but I trust your taste.

Katerina said...

Anita said...

OMG - I can't choose!!! Firstly, congrats on two years!!!

I have always wanted Nigella's Christmas book, although that was because I didn't know of the other three!! I love chocolate, and am loving french food - although have no french food books....

do I have to choose? I guess to answer your question - it would be Nigella's (as I have wanted that one for a long time)... but I would be happy with any.

Congrats again!

Joanne said...

Happy two years chica! Such an accomplishment.

Hmmm...I think I would love the Rose Levy Beranbaum cookbook!

TKW said...

Two years is huge! Congrats!

I have a serious cookbook addiction, so I'll take any of them!

Anna said...

I love Nigella, but haven't watched her show in years and *thought* I'd read all her books. I would love to win the Christmas book.

bellini valli said...

Anyone of these cookbooks would make the perfect addition to my collection but if I had to choose I would choose the French cookbook with all it's delicious Bistro recipes. I am trying to avoid sweets except the holidays are coming up...and fast!!

The Teacher Cooks said...

Wow two years! Congratulations to you Barbara! I would love Dorie's cookbook please and thank you!

Channon said...

I'd love "Around My French Table." (Lots of butter and cream).
