I’ve saved the best for last. This week, it’s the Magazine Edition!

That’s right; THREE cookbooks culled from cooking magazines, including the long-gone, but never forgotten Gourmet magazine.

Congratulations to last week’s winners:
On a Stick- Kristin Dannecker
Real Stew- Ann Matthiesen 

First time here? Not sure what’s going on? Let’s get the scoop, one last time.

THE DETAILS:

~~Each week in October, starting on Monday, I will put up a post offering cookbooks to give away.
BUT YOU’LL HAVE TO ACT FAST! Each cookbook offer will be up for only FIVE DAYS. 

~~At the end of the day on Friday, each week, I’ll close out the current giveaway, choose the winner and notify them quick as a wink.
So in order to be eligible- YOU MUST leave comments on these posts that contain your contact information.
Don’t go through all the work of commenting without that!

~~If you are chosen as the cookbook winner, you will be asked to provide a mailing address so I can send you your book.
If you’re local, I’d be happy to meet up with you to hand you your winning cookbook in person!

Unfortunately, given the expense of mailing books, I have to limit these giveaways to US residents only.

Aaaand….. without further ado:

THE BEST OF GOURMET: Sixty Five Years, Sixty Five Favorite Recipes

I loved Gourmet magazine and just mourned when it stopped publishing. This book is as good as it gets to the classic fare of that classic magazine. Plenty of photos and beautiful recipes, spanning the 65 years that Gourmet held our fascination. This is as much a coffee table book as it is a cookbook and it’s definitely worth treasuring. I hope you will love it as much as I did.

FOOD AND WINE: The Magazine’s Annual 2010 Cookbook

The best part about Food & Wine magazine is that you can purchase their annual cookbooks with EVERY recipe from the past year in it. No need to save magazines! This book has over 600 recipes in it, all from 2010. It’s full of amazing dishes to serve for any occasion. One book, every recipe, every dish. You could spend months cooking your way through it.

THE ESSENTIAL EATING WELL COOKBOOK

Eating Well magazine is one of my favorite food magazines. It’s always stuffed with delicious, healthy and easy to prepare recipes, plus cutting edge information on health news and the purveyors and people who are passionate about eating well, and eating right. This book is a wonderful option for anyone wishing to enhance the nutritional value of their food without losing any of it’s flavor.
Eating Well recipes have never failed to disappoint me.

ON A STICK! by Matt Armendariz

I was given a copy of this to review and this is one fun book, folks. Party perfect recipes for entertaining, or just making every day meals that much more fun. Matt is the talent behind the blog Matt Bites, and is a renowned food photographer. This book is gorgeous, small, simple to use and everything goes on a stick. Kids will love it. Adults will squeal. Love to entertain? This one’s for you.

REAL STEW by Clifford Wright

 Do you love a good stew? Crave thick chowders, chilis and gumbo so hearty that a fork will stand up in them?
This book has it all; a dizzying array of soups, stews and the like from all over the world. You’ve heard of some, but likely not all of them, and therein lies the fun of this book. From the simple to the complex, you can’t find a more comprehensive guide to everything that simmers in a pot. With the impending winter, this book will become a favorite of yours.
{{DISCLAIMER: Your book will have a different cover than the one shown above, but it’s exactly the same.}}

Ok. Now…. Part Two. These are the big guns, folks. Local authors. Signed books. Here we go!!

DESSERTS IN JARS by Shaina Olmanson

It’s entirely possible that everyone has this cookbook by now, but then again, maybe not. Shaina is a Minnesota blogger, cooking up delicious and healthy fare for her four children at Food for my Family. She’s one of the hardest working bloggers I know, and on top of all her commitments, she created this beautiful dessert cookbook. I was blessed to receive a copy of this book, signed by Shaina herself and am excited to give it away as part of Monday Fun Day. You’ll love the photos, the simple and delicious recipes and if you’re like me, the section of Gifts in Jars will delight you.

HEALTHY BREAD IN 5 MINUTES by Zoë Francois and Jeff Hertzberg

Zoë and Jeff’s quick dough method has revolutionized home bread baking. You make a big batch of dough, keep it in the fridge and use it as needed to make lovely, fragrant and crusty homemade bread. This hard-copy book is full of healthier options for your daily bread, all with the same, easy 5-minute method. Wouldn’t YOU love to have fresh baked bread every day??

ARTISAN PIZZA AND FLATBREAD in 5 MINUTES A DAY by Zoe Francois and Jeff Hertzberg

An entire book of gourmet pizzas, flatbreads and other thin, crusty delights, utilizing the same quick 5-minute dough method designed by Zoë and Jeff. The recipes are mouth-watering and delicious, and the method couldn’t be easier. I was fortunate to attend a local event with Zoë and watch her demonstrate the techniques involved, spin and twist a disc of pizza dough in the air and make one of the best pizzas I’ve eaten recently. I received this signed hard copy as a participant in the event. Win this cookbook, and you’ll be flipping spinning pizza dough over your head in no time!!
