I Love Cookbooks … Especially When I Win One!
Posted on 19 June 2007 under Cookbooks
So yes, this is the first time I’ve ever won a cookbook, but the fact that I did makes it all the more unique!
Over on Serious Eats, my favorite food web site out of NYC, they have regular contests. Someone will send them copies of a cookbook, and they’ll “cook the book” over the next week, making one recipe a day. Meanwhile, back on the original post for the book, they’ll accept comments, answers to a particular question related to the book. Once the week is over, they’ll pick as many random comment posters as there are copies of the book as winners.
Yesterday, Serious Eats’ Robyn Lee sent me an email indicating that, out of 114 comment posters for dessert master David Lebovitz’s latest book The Perfect Scoop I was one of the five winners! Good stuff, especially on a hot and humid summer day.
The current contest over at Serious Eats is for “The Summer Shack Cookbook”:
It’s a season for clam-digging, lobster-steaming, fried boardwalk fare, and grilled corn—just a handful of the many shore foods covered in Jasper White’s Summer Shack Cookbook. White is proprietor of The Summer Shack mini-chain of restaurants, which serve his version of comfort food—the simple and fresh fare he was raised on as a boy … And, as is custom now on Serious Eats, we’ve got a number of copies to give away. Just leave a comment here telling us what your favorite shore food is and where you get it. Nine (9) winners will be chosen at random from the comments section at the end of the week.
Yesterday, they made the Classic Maine Lobster Rolls from “The Summer Shack Cookbook”.
Ummm … honey?? See, this new cookbook is on the way … you know that ice cream maker? Yeah, that one …
