Favorite Cookbooks 2011: Gift Guide
I get a zillion cookbooks in the mail every year. Here are my favorites… from 2011. Perhaps the cook in your life would like one for Christmas? I do this every year, but I’d like to offer $100 Amazon Gift Card to one of my readers as a thank you for visiting RecipeGirl.com as much as you do. You can buy a bunch o’ cookbooks with $100! See the end of this post for giveaway details.
Cook Without a Book- Meatless Meals by Pam Anderson- this one is not only for vegetarians. Getting more grains and vegetables into your diet is healthy and recommended. Anderson shows you how to use whatever is fresh, in season and on-sale- and not be so focused on cooking by the book. Recipes are displayed as “Master Formulas” with multiple variations listed, giving you the opportunity to adapt the recipes to your own preference.
Ruhlman’s Twenty: 20 Techniques, 100 Recipes, A Cook’s Manifesto by Michael Ruhlman- Such a clever idea for a book, Ruhlman shares twenty essential ideas guaranteed to elevate anyone’s cooking. Rather than simply following a recipe, his book helps cooks to think about the *what* and *why* of what they are doing. Chapters on things such as Salt (your most important tool) and Onion (a chef’s secret weapon) educate even the most experienced cooks.
Cakespy: Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life by Jesse Oleson- This cookbook is just plain FUN. With recipes such as S’Moreos, Cupcake- Stuffed Cupcakes, Red Velvet Cake Shake, Pop Rocks Cookies and Homemade Candy Corn… how could this book be anything BUT fun?! Oleson is a talented artist too- her cupcake art work is displayed throughout the cookbook.
Nadia G’s Bitchin’ Kitchen: Cookin’ for Trouble- Nadia G is the host of Cooking Channel’s Bitchin’ Kitchen, she’s got rock-star style and a personality that just doesn’t quit. I’ve met Nadia before, and this chick is talented. The cookbook is wild and crazy-fun. Chapter titles might give you an idea of what this is all about: (Dysfunctional) Family Pizza Night, Happiness= Bacon, Back of the Fridge Bachelorfest, Depression Desserts, and more. I love it all.
GoodBite Weeknight Meals: Delicious Made Easy- Cooking Website GoodBite.com gathered together 16 of the internet’s best food bloggers. In this book they share 140 recipes for delicious and easy weeknight dinners. What I love about this book is that the majority of the recipes are family-friendly and quick to prepare. Recipes such as Slow Cooker Lasagna, Fast Fish Tacos, Blueberry Pulled Pork and Chicken & Spinach Enchiladas have me picking it up again and again for dinner ideas.
The Food 52 Cookbook: 140 Winning Recipes from Exceptional Home Cooks by Amanda Hesser & Merrill Stubbs & the Food 52 Community- This cookbook is a community cookbook of the most interesting sort. Each week for 52 weeks, Hesser & Stubbs ran recipe contests on their Food 52 website to find the best home cooks in the country. 140 of the winning recipes make up this book. I’m a big fan of home cooks who are good cooks!
Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day by Jeff Hertzberg & Zoe Francois- A follow-up to their first two wildly-successful bread books, this time it’s Pizza! Jeff & Zoe show readers how to use their stored, no-knead dough to make pizzas, flatbreads and sweet/savory tarts. Variations include whole grain, spelt and gluten free. They’ll explain that in just 5 minutes a day of active prep time, you can create some pretty amazing pizza recipes.
How to Make Bread by Emmanuel Hadjiandreou- If you are a bread enthusiast or if you have a desire to learn how to make bread, this book is a good place to start. It includes photographed step-by-step recipes for yeast breads, sourdoughs, soda breads, gluten free breads and pastries. Every single recipe contains multiple photos. Both standard and metric measurements are included.
Cookies for Cancer: Best Bakesale Cookbook by Gretchen Holt Witt- If you’re a cookie fan and you love baking, this book is a must to have on hand. Besides the fact that it has great, classic recipes… the book has a story behind it that resonates with everyone. All proceeds from this book go to research related to Kids with Cancer. All of the recipes in this book are perfect for bake-sales, which is perfect for raising money for charities like Cookies for Kids’ Cancer.
The Encyclopedia of Sandwiches by Susan Russo- This one includes recipes, history and trivia about every kind of sandwich you can imagine. I love the creativity that Russo put forth in this book… with recipes for the Doughnut Sandwich, the Cubano, the Fried-Green Tomato BLT, The Elvis, the Po’Boy and the Juicy Lucy, as well as primers on the classic bologna sandwich and peanut butter and jelly. It’s a fun book to have on the shelf.
A few I don’t have on my bookshelf yet, but I’m hearing raves about…
Our Best Bites: Mormon Moms in the Kitchen by Sara Wells- 150 family-friendly recipes with mouthwatering full-color photos, step-by-step tutorials, ideas for using leftover ingredients, shortcuts and tips for cooking, and serving suggestions.
Homesick Texan by Lisa Fain- In 2006, Fain started the blog Homesick Texan to share Texan food with fellow expatriates, and the site immediately connected with readers worldwide, Texan and non-Texan alike. Now, in her long-awaited first cookbook, Fain brings the comfort of Texan home cooking to you.
Basic to Brilliant, Y’all by Virginia Willis- The author’s fans love her knack for giving classic French dishes a down-home Southern feel and re-imagining homey Southern favorites en Française. This book builds on her signature style, offering 150 soul-satisfying recipes and accompanying each with a new preparation technique, fresh presentation style, or creative recipe variation that transforms an already wonderful dish into an all-out show stopper.
Super Natural Every Day by Heidi Swanson- From her Northern California kitchen, the author has introduced us to a less-processed world of cooking and eating through her award-winning blog, 101 Cookbooks. In this book, she helps us make nutritionally packed meals part of our daily repertoire by expanding our pantries and integrate nutrient-rich superfoods into our diets.
and then there are a few that I thought sounded kind of fun for college kids or bachelors 
The I Love Trader Joe’s College Cookbook: 150 Cheap & Easy Gourmet Recipes by Andrea Lynn- Since I practically lived at Trader Joe’s in college, I would think this one could only be great.
100 Things to Do With Ramen Noodles by Toni Patrick- Not that I condone cooking with ramen noodles, but this just sounds fun… and most college kids live on Ramen at least part of the time, right?
What the F Should I Make for Dinner by Zach Golden- I guess you’d have to buy this one for the right person, but I think there’s a good possibility that this book could get some laughs from the recipient. I hear the writing from this guy is hilarious. And hey, maybe there are some good recipes in there too!
Hope you found a cookbook or two or three in there that you like! Let us know in the comments below if you have a cookbook recommendation from 2011 that I may have left out!

Jessen — December 1, 2011 @ 4:20 AM
I’d like Bitchin Kitchen’s “Cookin for Trouble” and “Super Natural Everyday” by Heidi. If I could add another, it would be Guy Fieri’s New Book, and I’m sure if I rated Border’s Cookbook section, I could find more I’d like to Order!!

Angie — December 1, 2011 @ 4:54 AM
They all look wonderful and many of them are already on my wishlist. However, “Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef” by Shauna James Ahern is at the top of the wishlist for me. A wonderful writer and excellent cook who truly inspires me everyday.

I discovered Our Best Bites blog a few months ago and I really connected with the recipes, so I would choose their cookbook.
Sonia — December 1, 2011 @ 6:49 AM
The 100 ways to cook Ramen cookbook definitely sound interesting and unique. As a college student I can definitely relate to the need to break out the ramen bowl with the packet of god-knows-how-much-sodium-is-in-it flavoring once in a while. Happy December!
Barbara — December 1, 2011 @ 6:49 AM
The absolutely must have book of 2011 has got to be Karen Krasne’s EXTRAORDINARY DESSERTS! Just look at her store website, urbanspoon, chowhound, yelp.com pictures etc, and you will never look at another cake the same again. I literally looked through all 800+ pictures on yelp–the orchids and flowers on her cakes are legendary. The book is amazing:

Doniamarie — December 1, 2011 @ 6:50 AM
I would love THE HOMESICK TEXAN COOKBOOK! Though I live in Texas, I really need to do more cooking (and less baking!) at home!
Deanna Milligan — December 1, 2011 @ 6:51 AM
The Food 52 Cookbook would be my choice. I love to cook and provide a hot meal for my family each night. The more recipes that I can have, the better.
Shari — December 1, 2011 @ 6:54 AM
Oh I just ordered my new Kitchenaide mixer and want to make bread so the How to make Bread” book would be perfect.
Valerie — December 1, 2011 @ 6:54 AM

Generous contest, Lori….hope I win!
Lacey — December 1, 2011 @ 7:04 AM
I would love the How To Make Bread cookbook. I have made bread before, but it has been a long time and I would love to have a book that would help me get back at it. I also like that the book has standard and metric measurements.

Cassandra — December 1, 2011 @ 7:11 AM
There are many fantastic books in the list. How am I supposed to shop for others when I want all of those in my collection?!?? I think I would have to go with the How to make bread. I have a lot of people in my life with severe allergies and I would like to get a handle on some fantastic bread recipes!
Veronica Stewaty — December 1, 2011 @ 7:12 AM
Even though I would love the Cancer for Kid’s Cookie Cookbook, I would probably get the one for 100 things to do with Ramen Noodles since that is my 6 year old son’s favorite!!
Betty in SCal — December 1, 2011 @ 7:12 AM
Definitely the Trader Joe’s cookbook….yum!
Stacie — December 1, 2011 @ 7:12 AM
I would really love the “Cakespy” book, or the “How to Make Bread”. I’m looking to expand my current cookbook collection and both of those seem like ones that would fit with my cooking style.
Nicci — December 1, 2011 @ 7:13 AM
I would add the Trader Joe’s or Bitchin’ Kitchen cookbook to my Amazon queue.
Angel Gladden — December 1, 2011 @ 7:14 AM

Laurie Jesch-Kulseth @ Relishing It — December 1, 2011 @ 7:16 AM
I’m a cookbook fanatic — so I have a few from your wonderful list. Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in 5 and Super Natural Everyday are among my favorites. On my radar from the list is Ruhlman’s Twenty and Homesick Texan — I’ve heard great things about these two. It was another stellar year for cookbooks — I’m also a huge fan of ‘Cook This Now ‘. I want to get my hands on ‘Homemade” by Yvette Van Boven, Made in America’ by Lucy Lean and ‘Tender’ by Nigel Slater. The list goes on and on, but I’ll stop there!
Kelly — December 1, 2011 @ 7:17 AM

Kelly — December 1, 2011 @ 7:20 AM

jenna — December 1, 2011 @ 7:22 AM

Alicia Wyatt — December 1, 2011 @ 7:24 AM

susan — December 1, 2011 @ 7:27 AM
good bite weekend meals sounds pretty cool
Paula — December 1, 2011 @ 7:30 AM
Well, you know me -I would love the Cook without a Book veggie meals, however, I am also drawn to the Goodbite Weeknight meals!
MaryK — December 1, 2011 @ 7:31 AM
Love homemade bread so I’d pick “How to Bake Bread.”
Rachel @ Baked by Rachel — December 1, 2011 @ 7:31 AM
Eek torture – I want them all! but especially ‘bitchin kitchen (which btw I always mean to try and watch and forget) AND the pizza one. Oh yum!!! Need to hop on over to my amazon list now
Deanna — December 1, 2011 @ 7:32 AM

Mitchell DeMarco — December 1, 2011 @ 7:34 AM
The Encyclopedia of Sandwiches for sure, i’m a exhausted college student and a delicious sandwich is a high point of my day.
MargaritaPan — December 1, 2011 @ 7:35 AM
This is a great giveaway! The Ruhlman’s Twenty cookbook looks amazing and I would love to add it to my collection. Another I’ve been looking at is The Soup Bible by Debra Mayhew!
Gina — December 1, 2011 @ 7:36 AM
I think I would have to try the weeknight meals book- and then How to Make Bread because eventually, I want to try!
Veronica @ Café con Leche — December 1, 2011 @ 7:36 AM
Wow they all look fantastic!!! Any Williams Sonoma kids cookbook is the best!! Easy recipes, usually healthy and oh sooo delicious!
Linda K — December 1, 2011 @ 7:37 AM
The Good Bite Weeknight Meals sounds like it would be really good. Of course I always love good baking cookbooks too.
Samantha — December 1, 2011 @ 7:37 AM
Oh my gosh do I have to choose just one, I want them all! I guess you can say that I am addicted to new recipes and cook books. If I had to choose…..maybe “Our Best Bites” or “How to Make Bread”.
Amanda — December 1, 2011 @ 7:38 AM
I love the idea of the Ruhlman’s Twenty. Understanding my recipes makes things much more fun! I have also been eyeing the Trader Joe’s cookbook on Amazon this week since I shop there a lot!
Alesia — December 1, 2011 @ 7:38 AM
A cook book that’s on my list is Cook This Now by Melissa Clark. It’s divided into seasons & months and what to cook during each.
DeAnn — December 1, 2011 @ 7:38 AM
I love Nadia’s show and would love to read more of her recipes. Wish list.
Danielle D. — December 1, 2011 @ 7:39 AM
I love cookbooks! I would love to get my hands on The Meatball Shop cookbook. We love meatballs but I’m stuck with the same recipe.
Thanks for this awesome giveaway!
Avery K. — December 1, 2011 @ 7:40 AM
I want Good Bite Weeknight Meals and the Homesick Texan cookbooks!
Julie Jackson — December 1, 2011 @ 7:40 AM
I am a Trader Joe’s addict so that’s the one I would choose!
Tessa @ Handle the Heat — December 1, 2011 @ 7:43 AM
I’ve been eying Homesick Texan – everyone says it’s fabulous!
Rachel @ Not Rachael Ray — December 1, 2011 @ 7:44 AM
Great list Lori! I’d love the pizza one
Lauren — December 1, 2011 @ 7:48 AM
There are so many good recommends here it would really hard to choose just one to check out. There is no way I could pick just one.
The ones at the top of my list are probably the GoodBite Weeknight Meals and The 52 Cookbook because there compliations from foodies from all over and I like the idea of variety. I also liked the Artisan Pizza and Flatbread and How to Make Bread. I just love fresh homemade bread and the house smells amazing when baking it. Lastly I think the SuperNatural Everday book is one to check out because I really love the idea of getting away from the processed foods out there and enjoying much healthier alternatives. Thank you so much for putting this list together.
Kim — December 1, 2011 @ 7:49 AM
I would definitely pick the Our Best Bites one.
Charlotte — December 1, 2011 @ 7:51 AM
I’m a Texan stuck in Utah for the rest of my life so I would LOVE the Homesick Texan one
Erin — December 1, 2011 @ 7:53 AM
The cakespy cookbook I bet is a lot of fun!
Maureen — December 1, 2011 @ 7:54 AM
There are a number of cookbooks that will be coming out like the The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier by Ree Drummond that I would like to add but I also would like to have the Lidia’s Italy in America by Lidia Bastianich.
Pat — December 1, 2011 @ 7:55 AM
Cook Without a Book- Meatless Meals by Pam Anderson-I’m a big fan of her books, and we’re trying to eat less meat so that would be a great gift!
Ellen — December 1, 2011 @ 7:55 AM
Sheesh all of the books you listed look fantastic. I think I’d love to get GoodBite Weeknight Meals: Delicious Made Easy. But How to Make Bread and Our Best Bites also look wonderful. Love your blog and recipes. Life is Good
Colleen — December 1, 2011 @ 7:56 AM
It’s cookie baking season for me and I love new recipes to try. I’d love Cookies for Cancer: Best Bakesale Cookbook.
Keri F — December 1, 2011 @ 7:57 AM
I’d like the “Our Best Bites” one. Just the cover alone is intriguing!
Mary Ann — December 1, 2011 @ 7:59 AM
I would like Cake Spy
Laura — December 1, 2011 @ 7:59 AM
I have always wanted to learn how to bake bread!!
April — December 1, 2011 @ 8:03 AM
All of these cookbooks look great but the ones that catch my eye are the Artisan Pizza and Flatbreads because I am obsessed with Pizza and the Bitchin Kitchen book just because it sounds like a fun cookbook. Thanks for sharing all these cookbooks, they usually overwhelm me with all of the choices.
Chris Smith — December 1, 2011 @ 8:03 AM
Cook Without A Book – Meatless Meals looks like perfect for me! I’m always looking for meatless meals and to add whole grains to my diet!!
Ashley B. — December 1, 2011 @ 8:04 AM
It is so difficult to choose! I think the guidance of Ruhlman’s Twenty is much needed in our kitchen, and we could certainly use the help of How to Make Bread as we try to conquer high altitude, gluten free bread making.
Patty — December 1, 2011 @ 8:05 AM
Good Bite Weeknite Meals sounds like a great book. Everything a mom could use every night. The super natural cookbook would make a great gift as well for the food conscious trainer I have. Thanks for the great ideas.
Lisa@The Cutting Edge of Ordinary — December 1, 2011 @ 8:05 AM
I’d love Food52! I asked for Heidi’s book for Christmas! Hope Santa brings it!
Andrea — December 1, 2011 @ 8:06 AM
I would choose cook without a book! I love the idea of cooking without depending on recipes. Thanks for doing this giveaway!
ShelleyBakes — December 1, 2011 @ 8:07 AM
Bitchin’ Kitchen … with a name like that, how can you go wrong?
Amy @ What Jew Wanna Eat — December 1, 2011 @ 8:10 AM
Tge 29 techniques book sounds great! I love learning techniques vs recipes. If you teach a man to fish…p.s what plugin is your social media sharing one? Love the simplicity of it!
Lisa — December 1, 2011 @ 8:11 AM
Great ideas. If I had to pick one it would have to be the book benefitting Kids with Cancer. First of all, I am bored making chocolate chip cookies and brownies for the kids and could use something more exciting. Secondly, how can you not support that charity? Thanks for the ideas!
Cassie — December 1, 2011 @ 8:11 AM
I definitely want to add The Homesick Texan and Ruhlman’s Twenty to my collection.
Laura P. — December 1, 2011 @ 8:12 AM
Great giveaway! I would love the Good Bite cookbook, but they all look wonderful:)
Phong — December 1, 2011 @ 8:13 AM
I really want “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” by Julia Childs! That book is so amazingly extensive!

I would love Heidi’s Super Natural…. her photos and stories are amazing!
Brittany C. — December 1, 2011 @ 8:14 AM
Great Post! I have the Our Best Bites cookbook on my wishlist. I love their blog.
Lisa Johnson — December 1, 2011 @ 8:15 AM
I would love the Cake Spy cookbook because I looove to bake cakes. Simple as that. I try them then send them to work with my husband. Also the Good Bites Weeknight meals. Would be nice to add to my repertoire of regular weeknight meals.
Katherine — December 1, 2011 @ 8:15 AM
There are too many good books out there to choose from! I just heard about Ruhlman’s Twenty on The Splendid Table, and I would love that. But then I saw that the Cakespy book offers a homemade version of candy corn. I am forever a sucker for candy corn!
Benton — December 1, 2011 @ 8:15 AM
My wife has been hinting that she wants the our best bites book.
Janine — December 1, 2011 @ 8:15 AM
That Food 52 cookbook was calling my name!
JulieD — December 1, 2011 @ 8:16 AM
I really want to add Homesick Texan to my cookbook library! Thanks, Lori!
Velvet Hodges — December 1, 2011 @ 8:20 AM
Hmmmm…..I’ve had Homesick Texans cookbook on my Amazon wish list since before it came out!
Rachel — December 1, 2011 @ 8:21 AM
I’d love to have How to Make Bread!
Alisa D. — December 1, 2011 @ 8:22 AM
Super Natural Every Day – one of my goals is to cook healthier and use less processed foods. Looks inspiring.
Cathy A Wheeler — December 1, 2011 @ 8:23 AM
I am a cookbook addict. The Trader Joe’s cookbook would be a wonderful addition to my collection because my daughters would really enjoy it.
Angie — December 1, 2011 @ 8:24 AM
The Homesick Texan! Such an indulgent experience – a foodies dream come true!!
Sara — December 1, 2011 @ 8:27 AM
I would love the How to make Bread and the cookie one
Gabrielle — December 1, 2011 @ 8:27 AM
I love to read cookbooks! They make me happy. I love the ladies at ourbestbites.com and would love to have their cookbook!
Lisa T — December 1, 2011 @ 8:28 AM
The GoodBites Weeknight Meals cookbook really calls to me. I’m always on the hunt for easy, nutritious, quick meals for weeknights.
Ashley Allison — December 1, 2011 @ 8:28 AM
I would love to have the GoodBite Week Night Meals cookbook. Looks like a winner and would be great for those nights I am not sure what to make!
Tara @ Chip Chip Hooray — December 1, 2011 @ 8:28 AM
I would love the Baked: New Frontiers in Baking cookbook under my tree this year!
Doreen — December 1, 2011 @ 8:29 AM
I love cookbooks .. If I had to choose only one cookbook from your list I’d have to choose the best bake sale cookbook – I’m a sucker for a good cause … and put together a cookbook, cookies and the proceeds going to kids cancer … count me in!
Melissa — December 1, 2011 @ 8:29 AM
Canadian chef Michael Smith has a newly released cookbook that sounds devine! But, I’ve been eyeing Jeff and Zoe’s previously released bread books, too!
Corrie — December 1, 2011 @ 8:31 AM
I’d love to check out Nadia G’s book. Looks like fun!
Jill S. — December 1, 2011 @ 8:32 AM
I would buy a few America’s Test Kitchen cookbooks with that!
Tania — December 1, 2011 @ 8:32 AM
Your list looks awesome! Will definitely get a couple!
I’ve been wanting this book for a while now: Cooking for Geeks: Real Science, Great Hacks, and Good Food
Laura @ Family Spice — December 1, 2011 @ 8:33 AM
Choices, choices… I think the Food52 would be my pick. Homecooks ROCK!
Colleen Kent — December 1, 2011 @ 8:33 AM
I love the idea behind Ruhlman’s Twenty. I think that no matter how many recipes you haveing this book would be as a sous chef.
Jordan — December 1, 2011 @ 8:34 AM
I would love to see Bitchin Kitchen or What the F*ck do should i make for dinner on my cookbook shelf.
Jenn — December 1, 2011 @ 8:38 AM
So many delicious looking cookbooks, I’d love to buy them all. If i had to choose though, I would definitely go with Cakespy, just because I adore baking and love finding new, fun recipes. Also, Homesick Texan looks great. My boyfriend’s family comes from Texas and sometimes he misses their cooking. Would love to make him something semi-authentic.
PS. I made your pumpkin-caramel pie for Thanksgiving, it was a huge hit! Thanks for the amazing recipe
Donna Rotella — December 1, 2011 @ 8:39 AM
I would LOVE to have Our Best Bites by the two Mormon Moms! I have heard so much about the cookbook lately and it sounds wonderful. I would love to make “stuff” to bring to my wonderful people that I deliver Meals on Wheels to. I am making something every week in the month of December so they will have a surprise from me on the days I deliver. And – then they will all get a special something on the 22nd, as that is the last day I deliver before Christmas. Do something nice for someone this month. Volunteer!
Ginny — December 1, 2011 @ 8:39 AM
I’ve had my eye on The Homesick Texan book for quite some time. I’ve also always wondered about Zoe’s series of artisan bread books. I love to bake yeast breads, but with two little ones it’s getting harder and harder to find the time.
Bethany — December 1, 2011 @ 8:41 AM
Our best bites!
I love your blog.
Kelli — December 1, 2011 @ 8:42 AM
Oh my goodness, you’ve listed quite a few on my list list year. If I have to pick one, I would say Heidi Swanson’s “Super Natural Everyday” LOVE this give away. Thank you so much.
Julie @ Table for Two — December 1, 2011 @ 8:43 AM
I really want to add a Giada cookbook to my christmas list!
Mary C. — December 1, 2011 @ 8:47 AM
I would love to try “Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day”; it looks great!!
Jennifer Roberts — December 1, 2011 @ 8:48 AM
I would love to add the Homesick Texan or Cookin’ for trouble to my cookbook collection for sure!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
sara — December 1, 2011 @ 8:51 AM
Great recommendations! I’ve definitely added Cook Without a Book – Meatless recipes to my wish list!
I’d also add Tender: A Cook and His Vegetable Patch to the list, gorgeous book with super tempting recipes!
Patricia Pinkston — December 1, 2011 @ 8:52 AM
I’d like the America’s Test Kitchen cookbook and/or Paula Deen’s new cookbook.
Lisa B — December 1, 2011 @ 8:53 AM
I would love to have the “our best bites” cookbook.
Lisa N — December 1, 2011 @ 8:53 AM
i am definitely adding ruhlman’s twenty to my christmas list!
Bess — December 1, 2011 @ 8:54 AM
I love the idea of the Food 52 cookbook. And, being a Southern girl, I’d love a copy of Basic to Brilliant, Y’all! Any book with y’all in the title is a winner to me!
Liana — December 1, 2011 @ 8:57 AM
I would love to have GoodBite Weeknight Meals: Delicious Made Easy and also Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day by Jeff Hertzberg & Zoe Francois if possible their first two of Bread books too.
molly l. — December 1, 2011 @ 9:00 AM
I’d love the supernatural everyday cookbook! i love 101 cookbooks. also, i have the TJ’s party planning cookbook and it is SO useful!

Been following Heidi for a long time!

I really want the Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in 5 mins one. I’ve already put it on a few of my wishlists.
Kyle — December 1, 2011 @ 9:05 AM
Nadia G’s Bitchin’ Kitchen: Cookin’ for Trouble
I love her…and I don’t get the COOKING CHANNEL at my house…but every time I’m at my aunts house I make sure the catch her show.
Julianne — December 1, 2011 @ 9:08 AM
I think Ruhlman’s Twenty sounds really useful!
Athena — December 1, 2011 @ 9:08 AM
I would love to have the Cook Without a Book- Meatless Meals, since I became a vegetarian a couple months ago.
Snob on a Budget — December 1, 2011 @ 9:10 AM
I have had my eye on The Hummingbird Bakery cookbook for awhile. I would buy that one first!
jessica — December 1, 2011 @ 9:17 AM
I’d like to try What the F should I make for dinner. Sounds interesting and how I feel a lot of nights!
Heidi @ Food Doodles — December 1, 2011 @ 9:18 AM
I would really love to get Super Natural Every Day – it looks awesome, and I love all of Heidi’s recipes that I’ve tried.
Amy Beth — December 1, 2011 @ 9:18 AM
I am totally going to get Cookin’ for Trouble – Nadia G. and also Ruhlman’s Twenty. I have Viriginia Willis’ Basic to Brilliant, Y’all and have cooked 3 things from it so far. All of them turned out great!
Katie Johnson — December 1, 2011 @ 9:24 AM
I would like the Our Best Bites Cookbook!
whitney — December 1, 2011 @ 9:24 AM
I just bought my sister a bread maker for Christmas, and it has made me interested in making bread myself. So, I would like the bread cookbook!
Tiffany Rosenberger — December 1, 2011 @ 9:24 AM
I would definitely add Bitching Kitchin to my list, Ruhlman’s Twenty, Cakespy… Ok they basically all look great.:)
Taylor — December 1, 2011 @ 9:25 AM
I would love any of these cookbooks!
Alicia — December 1, 2011 @ 9:26 AM
I would LOVE the Food 52 cookbook, it looks great, or Super Natural Every Day. Or Artisan pizza, since we love pizza in this fam or Bitchin’ Kitchen looks fun, as well.. OR…well, really, let’s be honest, they all look super fun and delicious!
Meg — December 1, 2011 @ 9:28 AM
i would love the trader joes college cookbook! Crossing my fingers!!!
Jodie Miles — December 1, 2011 @ 9:28 AM
I would love the meatless cookbook! I’m not a vegetarian just trying to limit my meat intake!
Kim C — December 1, 2011 @ 9:29 AM
What a great round-up of unique cookbooks! I think my pick would be Ruhlman’s Twenty – I love the idea of learning about ingredients that can result in any great dish! Thanks for the giveaway!
Kim — December 1, 2011 @ 9:31 AM
For sure What the F**k should I make for dinner, since I say that to myself almost daily!! Thanks for the chance to win!
Tracy — December 1, 2011 @ 9:35 AM
Gosh, any of them! The Artisan Pizza book would get a lot of use, and I think I’d be very entertained by Homesick Texan, though I’m a vegetarian. And I use Heidi Swanson’s recipes from her blog all the time, so it might be nice to have the book on my shelf.
Lissa — December 1, 2011 @ 9:36 AM
It’s not a new cookbook, but I want to get a Cooks Illustrated book since I don’t own any yet. Our Best Bites is another I’d love!
Misty — December 1, 2011 @ 9:37 AM
I would definitely go for Super Natural Every Day – I always read Heidi’s blog. Though What the F Should I Make for Dinner is a very close second, just so I could display it in my kitchen.
Mel — December 1, 2011 @ 9:44 AM
I’d like the Bitchin Kitchen’s “Cookin for Trouble”! I keep hearing great things about it and I’ve put it on my wish list
Lisa — December 1, 2011 @ 9:45 AM
So many of them look tempting, but I have to choose just one, I’d say Nadia G’s Bitchin’ Kitchen: Cookin’ for Trouble. I think she’s hilarious, entertaining and most of her recipe’s entice me.
Michelle @ Brown Eyed Baker — December 1, 2011 @ 9:46 AM
I have The Homesick Texan on my wishlist this year too!
Jessica — December 1, 2011 @ 9:49 AM
I love cookbooks! I would LOVE to add Super Natural Every Day to my kitchen. I’m trying to clean up the offerings from my kitchen, and this would be a great help. Thanks Lori! You’re the best!
Rebecca — December 1, 2011 @ 9:50 AM
Oooh I’d love the How to Make Bread cookbook. Fresh, hot bread is the best comfort food there is on a cold winter day!
Janelle — December 1, 2011 @ 9:52 AM
It’s been a few years since I’ve bought any cookbooks, but I have a couple of friends who have the Our Best Bites cookbook (I’m Mormon, so it’s popular in my circle of friends). I’ve made one or two things from it with friends, and it’s not too bad. The layout and photography are really fun and engaging.
Vanessa — December 1, 2011 @ 9:53 AM
I really want the What the F Should I Make for Dinner because I tend to ‘read’ a cookbook as much as use it for recipes. My family doesn’t quite get that, but it gives me joy and comfort!
Danielle — December 1, 2011 @ 9:54 AM
For sure it would be Cookies for Cancer: Best Bakesale Cookbook. My husband is the culinary genius, but I love to bake. This would definitely expand my cookie repertoire!
Courtney — December 1, 2011 @ 9:54 AM
I’ve been eyeing the homesick texan for awhile. I actually have a couple of the other ones, but I’m a cookbook junkie and I buy most of my books off amazon..
Stephanie — December 1, 2011 @ 10:01 AM
Super Natural Every Day…love her blog and would enjoy having the cookbook to try out at home!
Denae — December 1, 2011 @ 10:03 AM
I would love to try the Best Bake Sale Cookbook. I love the cause, and I love cookies!
Ashley V — December 1, 2011 @ 10:05 AM
Would love good bites weeknight meals made easy! Could always use more meal inspiration for family dinners!
Maren — December 1, 2011 @ 10:06 AM
I would love the “How to Make Bread” book. Im tired of running to the store constanly for bread and would love to “Wow! “the family with my new bread making skills!
mlj — December 1, 2011 @ 10:10 AM
how to make bread
belly — December 1, 2011 @ 10:11 AM
Out of those, I am most intrigued by What The F**k Should I Make For Dinner? I assume the missing word is fork…
Em — December 1, 2011 @ 10:16 AM
i love fun cookbooks! i am thinking either Cakespy or Our Best Bites.
Jody Gates — December 1, 2011 @ 10:17 AM
I would love the Best Bake Sale Cookbook. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Evil Pixie — December 1, 2011 @ 10:18 AM
I want the Pioneer Woman’s cookbook (as does my mum). Love this giveaway!
Monica N. — December 1, 2011 @ 10:23 AM
I would love to get the “What’s New, Cupcake?” book from Amazon. It looks so fun and it has so many ways to decorate cupcakes that are simple. Cupcakes are my favorite desserts to make so it would be a great help in the kitchen.
Suzannah — December 1, 2011 @ 10:24 AM
I’ve had my eye on Super Natural Everyday, and I’d love to add it to my collection!
Sandra Oetinger — December 1, 2011 @ 10:35 AM
How To Make Bread sounds wonderful!
Renee V. — December 1, 2011 @ 10:40 AM
WOW that’s a hard ? – which ONE, just ONE would I have to pick? If my appendages are being twisted and it’s do or I die I’d have to pick “What the F should I make for dinner?” (with Good Bite’s tugging on the F’s leg – LOVE her blog!).
BTW when you say ‘get in the mail’ do you mean given to free? or you’ve purchased to try? If it’s the previous I’m green!
Tracey — December 1, 2011 @ 10:41 AM
What wonderful cookbooks! Hard to choose which one I would add as I’d like them all. But, I think I’d like to add The Homesick Texan to my collection. Good friends of mine are from Texas and it would be fun to make something for them out of this cookbook.
Kim — December 1, 2011 @ 10:48 AM
I’d love to add the Bitchin’ Kitchen cookbook to my collection. I love watching Nadia G and think the show and dishes are awesome
JenP — December 1, 2011 @ 10:49 AM
I love The Encyclopedia of Sandwiches!
Darci — December 1, 2011 @ 10:49 AM
I’m a big Our Best Bites fan… never made anything by them I didn’t like! But I’ve also heard amazing things about Good Bite Weeknight meals, so I would love either!
Shawna — December 1, 2011 @ 10:50 AM
I would like them all but I would definitely purchase the Cookies for Cancer because it helps kids. I would also love to see what the Trader Joe cookbook recipes look like.
Marie — December 1, 2011 @ 10:53 AM
I think those 3 college-ish cookbooks (TJ’s, ramen, etc) may be going in my cart soon. I have 2 brothers in college, and I’m sure they’d love these!!
annie — December 1, 2011 @ 10:55 AM
Thanks for a great giveaway. I could never have enough cookbooks. I’ve had my eye on a Tessa kiros book, and also a Marion Cunningham Breakfast Book, but any of the above books would be awesome to have.
Sarah C — December 1, 2011 @ 10:58 AM
I’ve had Cook Without a Book on my wishlist for quite some time now, so I’d love to add that one to my collection!
Michelle — December 1, 2011 @ 10:58 AM
The I Love Trader Joe’s College Cookbook: 150 Cheap & Easy Gourmet Recipes
Jess — December 1, 2011 @ 10:59 AM
So many great ideas to add to my Christmas list!
I think I’d be most interested in the Bitchin Kitchen book because I just love those chapter titles!
Sherry — December 1, 2011 @ 11:00 AM
I would love the book Ruhlman’s Twenty: 20 Techniques, 100 Recipes, A Cook’s Manifesto by Michael Ruhlman. I would love to be better at improvising!
Gail — December 1, 2011 @ 11:02 AM
I would love to receive Artizan Pizza and Flat Bread in Five minutes a day. If I win it my husband would be the receipient. He loves making pizzas and now is into bread.
vballer — December 1, 2011 @ 11:04 AM
the cake spy book would be great! i love making desserts!
Tabathia B — December 1, 2011 @ 11:12 AM

tbarrettno1 at gmail dot com
Stacy — December 1, 2011 @ 11:13 AM
Would love Homesick Texan. I am obsessed with texas style chili these days
Melissa C — December 1, 2011 @ 11:14 AM
Since my name is Melissa Clark, I want the book Cook this Now by Melissa Clark (just because). Also, I really want The Pioneer Woman (Ree Drummond’s) book.
Breanna — December 1, 2011 @ 11:14 AM
I would like Nadia G’s Bitchin’ Kitchen: Cookin’ for Trouble cookbook. It looks awesome!
Laura — December 1, 2011 @ 11:15 AM
I would love to add “Good Bite Weeknight Meals” to my collection! I plan my weekly menu on Friday or Saturday. With three days in a row in the middle of the week I need something good, fast and cheep, a reliable cookbook or selection of recipes is a must.
Lindsey — December 1, 2011 @ 11:15 AM
I’d love the Our Best Bites cookbook if I had to choose one!
Hello Kimmy — December 1, 2011 @ 11:16 AM
I am a cookbook collector. I would say the Cook without a Book cookbook intrigues me because I find myself eating more veggie-based meatless meals. I also like the cakespy book, but that is because I am a baker and love getting new ideas.
Stew — December 1, 2011 @ 11:16 AM
Encyclopedia of Sandwiches looks awesome!!! I might have to get that book!!
Joanna — December 1, 2011 @ 11:16 AM
Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day. Thanks and Happy Holidays!!
Kolleen — December 1, 2011 @ 11:20 AM
“Cakespy” looks delightfully fun! Yum!
Scorpio Woman — December 1, 2011 @ 11:21 AM
I’d like to have another book of Taste of Home. Their recipes are great.
Jerry (Cbsop) — December 1, 2011 @ 11:23 AM
Great giveaway, and some great titles here! May I suggest to your readers that if they don’t have The Homesick Texan’s cookbook, they NEED it. They also need to own the Encyclopedia of Sandwiches. (I have both). I need to check out Basic to Brilliant, though. I haven’t read that one yet.
Keep up the great work!
Jessica — December 1, 2011 @ 11:24 AM
Super Natural Every Day looks lovely – it looks like it would be a great addition to my cookbook library!!
Happy holidays!

NoPotCooking — December 1, 2011 @ 11:26 AM
I’ve been looking at From Basic to Brilliant Y’all so that would be my pick
Treva Fendrick — December 1, 2011 @ 11:29 AM
I love to bake bread so I’d use the gift certificate to buy a really good cookbook on baking artisan bread
Antonia James — December 1, 2011 @ 11:29 AM
Your list is so interesting! Thank you for posting it, and for giving one extra- lucky reader the gift certificate. Though not a 2011 release, Monica Bhide’s “Modern Spice” is on my must-buy list. It’s beautiful in all respects, especially the writing. And, hot off the press, is “Home Cooking with Jean-Georges: My Favorite Simple Recipes” by Jean-Georges Vongerichten. I like his way of thinking, so of course, I like his way of cooking. It’s also one I’d love to own. I would also buy his “Simple to Spectacular,” which was published about ten years ago. I’ve checked it out of the library at least four times since discovering it. Best regards, AntoniaJames. ;o)
Julie — December 1, 2011 @ 11:31 AM
What a wonderful opportunity for me to add to my collection of cookbooks! I would love the What the F Should I Make for Dinner . . . . .hilarious!!!!
Linda V @ Bubble and Sweet — December 1, 2011 @ 11:34 AM
Well I would have to say my newly released cookbook Sweets on a Stick
But seeings as I already have it if I got the VR one of the first books I would order would be Cakes to Falli n Love with by Makkio Searle
ERIN M — December 1, 2011 @ 11:50 AM
I’d like to check out From Basic to Brilliant, Y’all! I’ve been looking at Paula Deen’s new cookbook (The Southern Cooking Bible) as a Christmas gift for a beginning cook, but From Basic…sounds like something that would challenge me.
Amy K. — December 1, 2011 @ 11:55 AM
Good Bite Weeknight Meals looks like it would be ideal for me. I, like many moms, am looking for a quick way to get a good meal on the table after a busy day. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Juli B, — December 1, 2011 @ 11:59 AM
What a great collection of cookbooks!! I would love to have “The Homesick Texan” or the “The Food 52″ cookbooks……Since I am a cookbook junkie at heart, I would love to have any and all of them!!
Claire — December 1, 2011 @ 11:59 AM
Great round up! I love so many of these books, but would specifically like Cook without a Book and Heidi Swanson’s book.
Thanks!
Steve S. — December 1, 2011 @ 12:01 PM
The “Food 52 Cookbook” would be great to have. Being that it is written by Home Cooks I think as all of us interested in bettering our home skills would find it very useful.
Jenne — December 1, 2011 @ 12:02 PM
I would love to have the book The Encyclopedia of Sandwiches. It looks like a great book for my family.
amber — December 1, 2011 @ 12:02 PM
I would love to put Cookin’ for Trouble on my list. I love Guy Fieri and if he supports this rockin chick, I’d love to check it out too!
Shannon Sperry — December 1, 2011 @ 12:06 PM
My daughter is getting ready to go away to college, so I think I’d buy the 101 Things to do with Ramen Noodles! We all know Ramen is the staple food of dorms all over the world! lol
Lauren — December 1, 2011 @ 12:06 PM
I’d love to try Super Natural Every Day…I love the 101 Cookbooks blog!
Hanne — December 1, 2011 @ 12:07 PM

Lyndsey @ Sit. Stay. Cook. — December 1, 2011 @ 12:11 PM
I’d love to take a look at Ruhlman’s Twenty. I’m all about improving my techniques lately.
shannon — December 1, 2011 @ 12:11 PM
My current favorite is Paula Deen’s New Southern Cooking Bible. I think I would probably have to look at the Ramen and the what the f, and the sweets cookbooks you showed here though.
Thanks for the giveaway.
April — December 1, 2011 @ 12:12 PM
I LOVE cookbooks and haven’t met one that I didn’t like. I would probably get Paula Deen’s new cookbook the Southern Cooking Bible or Giada at Home. So many cookbooks, so little time:)
Sara — December 1, 2011 @ 12:17 PM
I love reading cookbooks. I’d want to try the Cake Spy and the Best Bake Sale Cookbooks.
Katie G. — December 1, 2011 @ 12:24 PM
My husband and I love homemade pizzas. I would love to have the “Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day”. We also like quick, easy, and yummy meals after work, so the “GoodBite Weeknight Meals: Delicious Made Easy” would also be great. Hard to choose!
Robin R. — December 1, 2011 @ 12:26 PM
I would love 101 Things To Do With Ramen Noodles. I usually chuck the seasoning packet that comes with the noodles and make my own miso broth, but besides soup I never thought of anything else, sounds like fun.
Lauren — December 1, 2011 @ 12:30 PM
I love to read cook books, but the one that I need the most is the book about making bread…I need help!
Becky W. — December 1, 2011 @ 12:35 PM
What an awesome list! And an awesome giveaway! Thank you! But now I have my eye on a cookbook that will go on my Christmas list and if I don’t get it, I’ll just have to run out and find, the book by Cakespy! I love her anyway and didn’t realize she had a cookbook out. I am a huge baker, do this book will be a must for me! Thank you!
Susana I. — December 1, 2011 @ 12:35 PM
I would like “Okashi Treats: Sweet Treats Made With Love” by Keiko Ishida or
“Piece of Cake!: One-Bowl, No-Fuss, From-Scratch Cakes” by Camilla V. Saulsbury
Wynn — December 1, 2011 @ 12:37 PM
The Food52 Cookbook looks like a good one to me.
Pam Hicks — December 1, 2011 @ 12:43 PM
I have MANY cookbooks, but The Homesick Texan has sparked my interest. I have seen things here and there from it, and it appears to be fabulous! One other I have noticed is Sweet Tea and Screen Doors (or maybe it’s the other way around).
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com — December 1, 2011 @ 12:45 PM
I would love to get the Good Bite cook book! It’s a book written by fabulous food bloggers and writers
Sarah — December 1, 2011 @ 12:45 PM

Marisa — December 1, 2011 @ 12:48 PM

Trisha Lee Da Silva — December 1, 2011 @ 12:48 PM
I am always looking for simple recipes. I am not a great cook and rely on recipes. I volunteer with kids in a shelter and think it would be great to explore and cook together.
knight Meals: Delicious Made Easy
Karisty — December 1, 2011 @ 12:50 PM
I love my BestBites cookbook so I can vouch for that one. A new one I’d like would be either the bake sale one or the bread one.
Lauren — December 1, 2011 @ 12:51 PM
Definitely the last one–”What the F Should I Make for Dinner?” –that goes through my mind on a daily basis!
Megan — December 1, 2011 @ 12:54 PM

Alison — December 1, 2011 @ 1:00 PM
I would really like Rice Bowl Recipes: Over 100 Tasty One-Dish Meals by Mineko Asada (yum! :9)… though I think my boyfriend would enjoy the Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day. I love find new recipes for us to try!
Steph — December 1, 2011 @ 1:03 PM
I’ve been eyeing the Cakespy one! Would SO be worth blowing the diet!

Lenore — December 1, 2011 @ 1:23 PM

They all sound great, but I’m most interested in Super Natural Every Day!
Denise @ Do you have that in my size??? — December 1, 2011 @ 1:53 PM
I just added “The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Cookbook” from the Fabulous Beekman Boys (from Planet Green show of the same name) and Sandy Gluck (of Martha Stewart Radio) to my wish list. I love that they provide room for you to add your own recipes and write in any adjustments you made in the preparation of one of their recipes so that it truly becomes your FAMILY cookbook.
Julie @SavvyEats — December 1, 2011 @ 1:54 PM
I can’t remember if these are 2010 or 2011, but I love “Sugar Baby” and “Flour”!

I’m a 20 year old student on a budget who just so happens to LOVE Trader Joe’s and the fun stuff their stores offer that your typical grocer doesn’t… The “I Love Trader Joe’s College Cookbook” sounds like it would be perfect for me! Just added it to my Christmas wishlist!
Rachel @ Bakerita — December 1, 2011 @ 3:00 PM
Wow! I love Super Natural Every Day and when I’m home, I use it quite frequently. Such good recipes!
I’m dying to try that Trader Joe’s College Kids cook book. I’m obsessed w/ Trader Joe’s, and being a college kid, I’m definitely curious/excited to try that.
Cheryl R — December 1, 2011 @ 3:02 PM
GoodBite Weeknight Meals: Delicious Made Easy looks like it would be a good addition to my collection.
Sarah — December 1, 2011 @ 3:04 PM
I would love ‘Cook without a book’. My husband’s a vegetarian and I am low-carb and it’s very hard to keep being creative. I love the idea of making variations on the recipes she has!
Debbie Grace — December 1, 2011 @ 3:06 PM
What a fun giveaway, thank you!!
I’d so love to have the “Our Best Bites” cookbook!
Lana — December 1, 2011 @ 3:06 PM

I’d like to try Back to Brillant Y’all
Melinda — December 1, 2011 @ 4:08 PM
I love cook books, but I rarely cook out of them anymore. I love your site, and take many recipes from you! But I am tempted by the Pam Anderson book. And I have the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes book, and am very tempted by the pizza and flatbread variation. But “Super Natural Every Day” is not going to tell me how to cook like (or for!) Sam and Dean Winchester, so I skipping that one.
Sally Heraty — December 1, 2011 @ 4:11 PM
I would like” Cookies for Cancer Best bakesale Cookbook” on my wish list as I have lost some family and good friends to the “C” and we have regular bake sales so new inspiration is welcomed!!

Lauren M — December 1, 2011 @ 4:19 PM
Would love Ruhlman’s Twenty: 20 Techniques, 100 Recipes, A Cook’s Manifesto! I’m trying to teach my very non-kitchen friendly boyfriend how to cook, and I think he’d really love this book too. Might mean that I could have some help in making dinner every once and a while!
Terri A. — December 1, 2011 @ 4:31 PM
I’ve been hearing good things about Cook without a Book and would like to add that to my collection.
Emily — December 1, 2011 @ 4:32 PM

Thanks for hosting the giveaway.

I’d either want Ruhlman’s Twenty (educational) or Super Natural (trying to be better about going all natural all the time).

Karen Lynch — December 1, 2011 @ 7:15 PM
I have been curious about Sweet Auburn Desserts:Atlanta’s Little Bakery That Could by Sonya Jones. I read several articles about her and her bakery, including Bill Clinton and her cheesecake. After trying our local B & N store and having no luck I decided to add it my order when I had a coupon earlier this week when I placed an online order. Watching for the mail everyday now.
Saw several of these books at the store but didn’t have time to sit and enjoy looking at them. Will have to check them out and several I saw in posts. This could be bad for my checkbook and waistline.

Connie Thomson — December 1, 2011 @ 10:00 PM

Elle — December 2, 2011 @ 1:12 AM
Thank you for offering a prize to your readers. I just stumbled onto your page for the first time tonight and I am loving what I see. Of the books listed above, the 52 cookbook looks interesting. Home cooks rule!
Jennie — December 2, 2011 @ 1:25 AM
I’m intrigued by the Trader Joe’s one!
Bogdan — December 2, 2011 @ 2:45 AM
Cakespy: Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life is for me. I have a notorious sugar tooth
Jen — December 2, 2011 @ 2:45 AM
I don’t use Cookbooks often but I love the old copy of a Fannie farmer cookbook my mom has. It’s well used and has lots of great memories.
Jamie — December 2, 2011 @ 2:51 AM
I would love the Cook without a Book. I often find myself wondering when I would get to the point to where I can cook off the top of my head and with my taste buds alone
Merry Christmas to all 
Kay — December 2, 2011 @ 2:52 AM
The Best BakeSale cookbook! Recipes AND a good cause!
janis — December 2, 2011 @ 2:53 AM

Happy Holidays!
Missy M — December 2, 2011 @ 3:43 AM
Without a doubt, the pizza and flatbread cookbook. I currently have “Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day” by the same author, and now we have freshly baked bread every day. Would love to have a great homemade pizza recipe.
Lynn P — December 2, 2011 @ 3:48 AM
As soon as I saw it, I knew I was going to own it! The “Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day”. I love and own each of the ‘Five Minute’ bread books the authors have written and they are amazing. They have turned my husband into a bread baker and he is obsessed!
Vicky Cohen — December 2, 2011 @ 3:48 AM
Whoo! All the books sound so great! I would choose cook without a book. Love meatless recipes! Thank you for the list of books. I will definetely checked them out.

Ashley Palmer — December 2, 2011 @ 5:19 AM
I think I would start with Good Bites- I like to pull out all the stops on the weekends, but I’m always looking for good, quick recipes for weeknights since they are always so busy!
Erin H — December 2, 2011 @ 5:20 AM
I am adding the ‘Bitchin’ Kitchen’ book to my wish list right now!!
cheryl trumble — December 2, 2011 @ 5:22 AM
Great choices but Our Best Bites would be my pick
Robin — December 2, 2011 @ 5:22 AM

Nicole P. — December 2, 2011 @ 5:26 AM
I would love to have Nadia G.’s cookbook! She’s hysterical on her show, and has some awesome ideas!
Meghan — December 2, 2011 @ 5:28 AM
Thanks for the recommendations! I’d love the Amazon gift card to buy some of these books, specifically Good Bite Weeknight Meals. I’m a relatively new chef and have been slowly trying recipes that are slightly more complicated. It used to be that any recipe with more than 6 ingredients scared me! I just made your enchiladas the other night for the second time. My boyfriend said it’s his favorite meal that I cook, so THANKS!
Pattyann — December 2, 2011 @ 5:42 AM
I would like to buy the best bites cookbook (I have been wanting it for awhile now) and I also like the best bakesale cookbook. I like the cause, and I am always looking for treats to take places.
susan — December 2, 2011 @ 5:43 AM
One of my recent favorites is Peas and Thank You by Sarah Matheny. It is a vegan cookbook. I am not a vegan but have loved many of the recipes. Cook without a Book sounds like a goood one to try.
Susan — December 2, 2011 @ 5:47 AM
I actually have two I would really like Santa to bring this year – THe Best Bake Sale cookbook to help with the cancer research and the Food 52 Cookbook because I love the website so I would definitely love the cookbook.
Barbara P. — December 2, 2011 @ 5:47 AM
What great book reviews! So many wonderful choices. The Trader Joe’s Cookbook is tempting since I have a Trader Joe’s just 5 minutes from my home. But sweets win out. So…I would love to have the Cakespy: Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life Cookbook!! Who doesn’t love fun sweet treats?!
Sarah E. — December 2, 2011 @ 5:48 AM
Definitely the Bitchin’ Kitchen cookbook!
To be honest, I’d spend that whole $100 on cookbooks…but I’d have to wait until after Christmas because that’s all I asked for – any type of cookbook.
The Our Best Bites cookbook is amazing! It’s one of my favorites! I have done 2 giveaways of it already to my readers
Debbie Rogers — December 2, 2011 @ 5:49 AM

Susan Guard — December 2, 2011 @ 5:53 AM
I would absolutely love to add Nadia G’s Bitchin’ Kitchen: Cookin’ for Trouble to my cookbook collection. Other than the recipes which must be amazing, it sounds like a fun read! Though the last three: The I Love Trader Joe’s College Cookbook: 150 Cheap & Easy Gourmet Recipes by Andrea Lynn,100 Things to Do With Ramen Noodles by Toni Patrick, and What the F Should I Make for Dinner by Zach Golden, sound like great Christmas presents for the college kids in my life. Thanks and have a great holiday season!
Tracey A — December 2, 2011 @ 5:54 AM
The Good Bite or the Food 52! Actually they all sound good!
Tracey
Andrea — December 2, 2011 @ 5:54 AM

Liz Rogers — December 2, 2011 @ 6:37 AM

Anne Taylor — December 2, 2011 @ 7:13 AM
I’d love “How to cook Bread”! I’ve always found making bread from scratch to be so theraputic for me; not always successful, but theraputic nonetheless lol
It also reminds me of both my mom and grandmother and baking with them.
thanks

Jennalee Z — December 2, 2011 @ 7:19 AM
Out of those cookbook choices I would absolutely love the Cakespy book. It looks like it would be a lot of fun just from the cover!

KrisP. — December 2, 2011 @ 7:19 AM
I would love the 101 things to do with Ramen Noodles. We have a 15 year old foster son and he loves Ramen – I have to limit his intake so maybe this would have some healthy ideas.
Alicia — December 2, 2011 @ 7:20 AM
I need to find “What the FXXk Should I make for dinner”. That sounds fantastic. My book to recommend would be “The Great Big Butter Cookbook”. You didn’t say it had to be healthy, right?

Annie — December 2, 2011 @ 7:42 AM
I LOVE getting new cookbooks.. I’d like to have practically all of these, but my top three would be: Good Bite, Cakespy, or Sandwich Encyclopedia (I wonder if the sandwich Adam Sandler made in Spanglish is in there. Always wanted to try that one!).
Thanks for the giveaway! I love amazon.com (and have a wishlist a mile long to prove it!
).
Kim — December 2, 2011 @ 7:43 AM

Lisa G — December 2, 2011 @ 8:40 AM
I would love to get Ruhlman’s Twenty: 20 Techniques, 100 Recipes, A Cook’s Manifesto in my stocking this year. I am all about learning techniques since it is hard to follow recipes with the little ones distracting and getting into trouble while I’m trying to make dinner.
Joe MacBu — December 2, 2011 @ 8:42 AM

The Nadia G. cookbook would be fun to have. At first I thought the show was lame, but she actually makes some good stuff and she has an off-the-wall sense of humor.
Sarah Hamilton — December 2, 2011 @ 8:57 AM
This is a great give away! I love following you Twitter! I am in college and am cooling by myself for the first time and it’s been going really well! I would choose the Trader Joe’s College Cookbook. I love Trader Joes and think the recipies would benefit me! …now I’m off to bake some trader Joes’s pumpkin muffins!

I have an embarrassing collection of cookbooks and rarely buy them anymore (thanks, Internet), but I do still love them. One of the cookbooks that I would love to have is The Food 52 Cookbook. It looks amamzing.
MT Garcia — December 2, 2011 @ 9:07 AM
The Casserole Queens cookbook…just beautiful and wonderful. Have made several of their recipes and they are just great and simple to make.
I have Our Best Bites and love that one too.
Vanessa — December 2, 2011 @ 9:07 AM
I just got the bake sale cookbook from the library, but I more intrigued by the sandwich cookbook beside it!

I’m definitely going to check out Pam Anderson’s Cook Without a Book, and the Cookies for Cancer: Best Bake Sale cookbooks. I’d love to do a bake sale fundraiser for my local animal shelter & I need ideas on what’s bake-sale-worthy. Both of these books look great!
Lillian Child — December 2, 2011 @ 9:46 AM
What a generous and delightful holiday prize event. I adore cookbooks and have a WHOLE WALL in my deb devoted to just that – cookbooks. They are my favorite eye candy! I would be so interested to see the Food 52 cookbook, which says it has recipes from the best home cooks in the country. I am more apt to follow recipes of “home cooks” before trying a recipe from a renouned chef. Thanks for this awesome event! Love checking in daily to you blog to see what’s new and exciting in the world of food!
Shelby — December 2, 2011 @ 9:48 AM

simone — December 2, 2011 @ 10:21 AM
We love our Artisan Bread book, and my hubby already makes pizza w/ the dough, so I would love to see what the Artisan Pizza book has to say on it! That Ramen book is so going to my brother – in his 30s, but right up his alley! Thanks!
Natalie — December 2, 2011 @ 10:23 AM

I want the Best Bakesale Cookbook because I have four children in elementary school and under!
Elizabeth — December 2, 2011 @ 11:04 AM
The cookbook that I would ask for is the “What the F Should I make for Dinner” cookbook. I swear I ask myself that question every single day. Plus I usually end up asking my husband the same question hoping that for once he will have some idea or preference but has never in the three years that we have been married ever given me any answer but “I don’t know”.
Lori Lange replied: — December 2nd, 2011 @ 11:08 AM
omg, I hear ya on that one. My husband *never* gives me ideas. At least an idea would help, right??
Samuel M — December 2, 2011 @ 11:05 AM

I have been wanting to pick up ‘super natural everyday’ and ‘the homesick Texan’, although the ‘cook without a book’ sound really fun too!
Diana — December 2, 2011 @ 11:06 AM
I love baking, so I want the Best Bakesale Cookbook. I’d also love the Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in 5 minutes a Day. I’ve heard so many good things about their other cookbooks.

Kjersti — December 2, 2011 @ 11:27 AM
The new cookbook from Joy The Baker is on my list!
Kara — December 2, 2011 @ 11:31 AM
I’m torn between Bitchin’ Kitchen and the Best Bake Sale Cookies. They are both awesome for different reasons.
Debra — December 2, 2011 @ 11:33 AM
I would love to own The Homesick Texan, Food 52 Cookbook, and Super Natural Every Day. I regularly read their cooking blogs and their posted recipes are great.

Thanks for all you do Lori!
Andrea Paysinger — December 2, 2011 @ 12:40 PM
I love cookbooks and have been collecting them for close to sixty years.
The one I would like most is “Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day” by Jeff Hertzberg & Zoe Francois.
I have their other books but haven’t gotten around to this one as there were several others on my “must have” list for this year.
I’ve been a baker since my mom put me to work in her bakery when I was fifteen and I’ve loved it ever since.
Now that I’m 72, I’ve slowed down a bit but still bake my own bread twice a week.
Julie — December 2, 2011 @ 12:40 PM
I really want that Bake Sale Cookbook!
Julie
Ashley — December 2, 2011 @ 12:42 PM
I think cook without a book – meatless meals would be interesting. I’m a dietitian and there’s lots of new research coming out about limiting animal products – would be great to have a cookbook to provide some good recipes to my patients
lace — December 2, 2011 @ 12:47 PM
Found several I like but would love to try the recipes from The Encyclopedia of Sandwiches
Judy M — December 2, 2011 @ 12:48 PM

Andrea — December 2, 2011 @ 12:55 PM
I think the weeknight meals cookbook that contains a collection from blogs would be great! I find myself “pinning” great meals that I see on blogs and tend to make one new one a week. This cookbook would give me some more options to choose from!
Nikole — December 2, 2011 @ 1:02 PM
I’d love “Cook Without a Book-Meatless Meals” by Pam Anderson. Our family eats very little meat…and I’d love some new ideas!

Savannah Beginnings — December 2, 2011 @ 2:27 PM
I will choose Good Bite weeknight meals, I am always looking for ideas for an easy delicious dinner option. I think there are quite a few on your list that I will put on my Christmas wish list.
Johnnie Barton — December 2, 2011 @ 2:44 PM
I am new to the food blog community but so far I am spending all my time reading them and gaining new recipes. I am a cookbook “Junkie” and read them lie a novels. I would love to get the cookbooks Our Best Bites and The Homesick Texan for my collections. Thanks for all the hard work you do for all of us to enjoy the blog.

I would like the How to Make Bread cookbook…I’ve been trying to perfect my bread-making lately!
Anna P — December 2, 2011 @ 4:17 PM
The cookbook on your list that I want the most is “Cook Without a Book- Meatless Meals” because I have been slowly adding vegetarian options to my meals.
ilona t — December 2, 2011 @ 4:26 PM
i would love “our best bites!!!
Carolyn — December 2, 2011 @ 4:26 PM

Amanda L. (Tales from a Kitchen Misfit) — December 2, 2011 @ 4:36 PM
this is such a great list! i think i would pick michael ruhlman’s book because it sounds so informative!
Allie — December 2, 2011 @ 4:36 PM
Thanks for the great list; I would be glad to have them all. Well, I would settle for a few. Since I will be practicing bread baking this winter and I would love to have a new bread baking book like the How To Make Bread Cookbook! I love ordering cookbooks from amazon.
Kara — December 2, 2011 @ 4:49 PM
This is an awesome list – they all sound great.
I have been eying the Our Best Bites cookbook lately, I love their blog!
Suzi — December 2, 2011 @ 5:08 PM
Good Bite Weeknight Meals looks right up my alley!
stephanie T — December 2, 2011 @ 5:35 PM
I am not sure I could just pick one….. AHH!! I think maybe the HOw to make bread cookbook, cause even though I’ve learned alot by trial and error, My breadmaking is never 100% awesome all the time, so I could certainly use some more tips and I kind of have a love relationship with bread (HA HA!)
Jen Kuhel — December 2, 2011 @ 5:48 PM
I wouldn’t be a Clevelander if I didn’t wish for Ruhlman’s book. If I don’t win the gift card, I’ll head straight for the library. Ruhlman’s a terrific writer, whether he’s writing about food or heart surgeons. Thanks for the opportunity and even bigger thanks for such a terrific blog. I honestly can’t wait to bake the red velvet cheesecake cake. Baked the cookie dough brownies (for the third time in a month) today. Like you say, good thing I’m a runner.
Becky H — December 2, 2011 @ 5:50 PM
Cook without a book sounds wonderful!
Andrea H — December 2, 2011 @ 6:01 PM
definitely need the Goodbite weeknight meals. I had a baby this semester and dinner has gotten a bit shabby around here. :-S
Amber — December 2, 2011 @ 6:10 PM
Our Best Bites. Those cupcakes are calling my name!

the peas & thank you cookbook i’d like to add to my shelf…it is already on my Christmas list!
Marcy Cole — December 2, 2011 @ 6:44 PM
I would definitely like to try the Mormon Moms in the Kitchen cookbook. My mother was raised Mormon and she was a wonderful, down-home cook. Guess she learned early and had a lot of practice, as she was the oldest of thirteen kids.
Jill — December 2, 2011 @ 6:59 PM
I would (as well as my family) would love “What the F*@# Should I make for Dinner?’ I ask myself that question every Sunday when I try to figure out what meals I’ll make for the week (at least 1 always comes from recipegirl!) A new cookbook would definitely change things up and maybe my kids would finally say ‘great job’ instead of ‘chicken again’??
Katy | Alphabet Soup — December 2, 2011 @ 7:04 PM
A lot of these cookbooks are already on my wish list!
The Good Bite Weeknight Meals would be a good one for us right now I think.
Jen — December 2, 2011 @ 7:14 PM
One of my favorite new ones if Miette by Meg Ray with Leslie Jonath. I was just drooling over the Food 52 book today while I was out Christmas shopping!
Sarah C. — December 2, 2011 @ 7:22 PM
I have several cookbooks on my wish list – I have Joy the Baker and Pioneer Woman presale already on my list and also the Tartine cookbook has been on my list for a while. Thanks for your great blog!

thank you
good bite, week night meals sounds like a great cookbook to add to my collection
Lily N — December 2, 2011 @ 8:02 PM
Cakespy caught my eye first, but now the Artisan Pizza and Flatbread looks gooood
Pat Hogue — December 2, 2011 @ 8:02 PM
Cook Without a Book Meatless Meals would be great on nights when I need a little inspiration. Getting Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day would be wonderful too as I would then have the full set of “…Five Minutes a Day” books by Hertzberg & Francois. I’m such a fan. Long live dough!!!!
Amanda Thompson — December 2, 2011 @ 8:18 PM
I would like “Our Best Bites” by Sara & Kate ~ their blog is so cute!
Rima — December 2, 2011 @ 8:25 PM
Great giveaway!! I am an avid cookbook collector, it is my one personal indulgence! I would love to have the “Cook Without a Book Meatless Meals”! In actuality I’d love to have them all, but that would be greedy

April was in CT now CA — December 2, 2011 @ 9:13 PM
That is a wonderful selection of cookbooks! Now that I finally live near a Trader Joe’s that one is calling out to me…and I’m not in college! lol
Mary Elizabeth Pitts — December 2, 2011 @ 9:34 PM
CakeSpy looks very cute! I love sweets so it would be a great book to have for variety.

Ann Harbaugh — December 2, 2011 @ 10:16 PM

Thanks, Lori.
Dee — December 2, 2011 @ 10:17 PM
It seems my biggest challenge is answering the what’s for dinner question. So I would choose the GoodBite cookbook for some inspiration. BTW, I really enjoy your blog and tweets! Thanks for all the great ideas and contests!
Dana B — December 2, 2011 @ 10:18 PM
wow. How does one choose one cookbook?? I totally admire Pam Anderson and her recipes, but I my husband is Mr Meat and Potatoes. The Bake Sale one sounds great, but I think I should buy it to contribute to the cause. How about Ruhlman’s Twenty? No matter how much someone knows (or think they do
, there’s always more to learn 
Kim Gorney — December 2, 2011 @ 11:08 PM
This is such a great idea. I am constantly looking for fast weeknight recipes. I also just got a new Kitchenaide mixer and I am ready to try some new recipes. Thank you for this opportunity!!
Stephanie — December 2, 2011 @ 11:20 PM
I would love to add “How to Make Bread” to my collection!
Lesley F — December 2, 2011 @ 11:49 PM

Laura — December 3, 2011 @ 1:12 AM
Twenty is my pick…I need to sharpen my kitchen skills!
Alicia Keen — December 3, 2011 @ 4:13 AM
my best bites most definitely!
Loy — December 3, 2011 @ 4:49 AM
Well, if I really needed another cookbook, I would have to flip a coin between Our Best Bits and the Best Bake Sale Cookbook.
bren — December 3, 2011 @ 4:54 AM
What a great giveaway and a great list! How can you choose just one? I guess i would start with the Food 52 and Good Bite weeknight meals, But i will looking into all of these and putting them on my wish list!

Leslie — December 3, 2011 @ 5:58 AM
I love cookbooks. I already own over 1000, but am always on the search for more. I recently bought an electric pressure cooker and would love some cookbooks on pressure cooking, the one by Lorna Sass, perhaps.
terrie owens — December 3, 2011 @ 6:02 AM
Several look great
the mormon moms cookbook would be ny first choice
Gina Wilson — December 3, 2011 @ 6:26 AM

How to make bread looks fun! This is a great giveaway!
Holly T — December 3, 2011 @ 7:27 AM
The Food 52 Cookbook: 140 Winning Recipes from Exceptional Home Cooks looks so good. Also the Cook Without a Book- Meatless Meals. I tried to do that in our house but nobody liked that idea. Maybe this would help
Mary Livaudais — December 3, 2011 @ 7:39 AM
I’m asking Santa for the Trader Joe’s College Cookbook!!
Amanda — December 3, 2011 @ 8:08 AM
I would LOVE either the Food52 or Homesick Texan cookbook. Both are on my Amazon wishlist and I hope to acquire them soon!!

Definitely the weeknight meals one! Coming up with quick, tasty, nutritious meals is way harder than cooking them!
Holly — December 3, 2011 @ 8:12 AM
I’d love to get the Bitchin’ Kitchen cookbook, I love her show!
Paulina Rapavi — December 3, 2011 @ 8:28 AM

Amy S — December 3, 2011 @ 9:19 AM
I’d love to have the Trader Joes cookbook! I’ll have to put that on my wish list.
Ruth B. — December 3, 2011 @ 9:19 AM
There are a few I would like from this list. I have recently been baking more bread and any pointers would be helpful. Thanks for the opportunity to buy more than just one of these cookbooks.
Cara — December 3, 2011 @ 9:52 AM
I have the Food 52 book and it is a wonderful book! I’ve got Martha Stewart’s Pies and Tarts on my list!
Katie P. — December 3, 2011 @ 9:58 AM
I would love the How to Make Bread cookbook. This is one area of cooking that I have a very limited knowledge. And with all the weird preservatives out there that the major brands add to bread I would love to make my own.
Alexandra Cooper — December 3, 2011 @ 10:10 AM
I would love the CakeSpy book, looks so cute!
Happy Holidays!
Miranda Sherman — December 3, 2011 @ 10:27 AM

Jenny — December 3, 2011 @ 11:14 AM
I’d love to add Our Best Bites! Between your web site and their web site I have found great additions to my dinner menu!
Paula — December 3, 2011 @ 12:04 PM
Although adding any cookbook to the collection it always great. I love the What the F**K Should I Make For Dinner because sometimes deciding is the hardest part.
Kim — December 3, 2011 @ 12:14 PM
How to Make Bread by Emmanuel Hadjiandreo is a great looking book!!
Jennifer — December 3, 2011 @ 12:59 PM
I would LOVE to check out the “best bake sale cookbook”…always on the lookout for great cookie and bar recipes
Cynthia Hsing — December 3, 2011 @ 1:50 PM
I would love to have the book “How to Make Bread!” Freshly baked breads and buns are always my comfort foods.
Autumn — December 3, 2011 @ 2:05 PM
I want to buy more cookbooks on gluten free and baking bread
Leann Lindeman — December 3, 2011 @ 2:11 PM
I would like to have The Homesick Texan!

I would love to add Good Bite Weeknight Meals to my collection. As a new mom back at work full-time, I am in need of some quick week night recipes. I always love adding new cookbooks to my collection! You are so lucky you get so many just sent to you! I’m jealous!
JenniferAnne Morrison — December 3, 2011 @ 2:31 PM
I definitely NEED Best Bake Sale Cookbook. And I’ve already asked for the Food Porn Daily cookbook, the photography is amazing. I could write love letters to FPD.
Emily380 — December 3, 2011 @ 2:32 PM
‘Cook without a book’ sounds like an EXCELLENT addition to my collection!
Kelaine — December 3, 2011 @ 2:39 PM
How to Make Bread. Hands down!
Rachel — December 3, 2011 @ 2:46 PM
I would LOVE the Cake Spy book! It looks fantastic!
Carole Lewis — December 3, 2011 @ 2:48 PM
I purchased Artisan Pizza and Flatbreads in 5 Minutes a Day. But, since my Granddaughte is just beginning on the road to the shear joy of cooking and baking, I decided to gift it to her. Passing on knowledge and sharing the joy is one of the greatest gifts one can give. I also purchased Hungry Girls 300 Recipes in Under 300 Calories. For myself of course. After over 60 years of cooking/baking and tasting, I am makeing healthier choices. But healthy can be just as much fun to fix as decadent. Still, those are might tasty looking books you picked and I would love to have everyone, just for the pictures OF COURSE!
Amy R. — December 3, 2011 @ 3:05 PM
I love Paula Deen. I’m looking forward to her cookbook Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible.
Tracy — December 3, 2011 @ 3:16 PM
I’d love to get my hands on a copy of the Food 52 cookbook!
Laurie Ann Phinney — December 3, 2011 @ 3:52 PM
Oh My – So many cookbooks, so little time…LOL! The FOOD52 Cookbook really appeals to me because it showcases many different home cooks so I imagine the variety is amazing! I love trying new recipes that have been created by other Home Cooks, and obviously been given the “Seal of Approval” by Family, Friends, and, the Authors of the cookbook itself.
Thank You So Much For the Opportunity to Add New Cookbooks to My Collection!
Hugs From Laurie AKA Idgie
Sherri C — December 3, 2011 @ 3:54 PM
“Our Best Bites” Looks like it’s right up my alley although any of the cookbooks would be great, you can never have too many!
Belladatura — December 3, 2011 @ 4:09 PM
I love Bitchin Kitchen! That cookbook is at the top of my list, but after reading your reviews, I’ve added a bunch more!
knuckstermom — December 3, 2011 @ 4:42 PM
I’d have to try out Our Best Bites…no matter what the religion, church ladies know how to cook!
Charmine Sudaria — December 3, 2011 @ 4:52 PM
I would have to choose Cakespy: Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life, so I can learn how to make more varieties of desserts, rather than the usual cake, cupcakes and brownies.
Karoline — December 3, 2011 @ 4:56 PM
Would loe to have each and every one of these cookbooks, but my favorite is definitely “How to Bake Bread”. Hope I win this!!
Mike — December 3, 2011 @ 5:03 PM

Ooh, Heidi’s cookbook. Although the Southern basics book looks good, too!
Kimberly — December 3, 2011 @ 7:59 PM

Lynette — December 3, 2011 @ 8:20 PM
the super natural book sounds interesting
Jennifer — December 3, 2011 @ 8:55 PM
Cakespy!

Erica — December 3, 2011 @ 10:02 PM

I love Trader Joes cookbook looks neat!
Amy Rains — December 4, 2011 @ 4:54 AM

Sarah — December 4, 2011 @ 6:54 AM
I love to try new cookie recipes so I would get Cookies for Kids Cancer.
Amanda — December 4, 2011 @ 7:46 AM
Cook Without a Book and Super Natural Every Day are on my Christmas list this year.
Jamie Heupel — December 4, 2011 @ 7:56 AM
I would love to have How to Make Bread by Emmanuel Hadjiandreou, Cookies for Cancer: Best Bakesale Cookbook by Gretchen Holt Witt, and Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day by Jeff Hertzberg & Zoe Francois. These would be great Bday presents for me on the 17th! : )
bevb. — December 4, 2011 @ 8:16 AM
The Food 52 cookbook looks like a great recipe book from a variety of seasoned cooks.
Matt — December 4, 2011 @ 8:46 AM
I would like the I Love Trader Joe’s College Cookbook. There is a Trader Joe’s less than a mile from my home that we shop at more often than not.
Lynne @ 365 Days of Baking — December 4, 2011 @ 9:00 AM
They all look so wonderful and it’s hard to decide, but the “What the F Am I Going to Make For Dinner” is something I ask myself ALL the time, but not in that exact way.
Reminds me, too of the not-so-much-for-children children’s bed time story, “Go the F*** To Sleep!”
Jessica — December 4, 2011 @ 9:04 AM
The Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day looks absolutely amazing. I love thin crust pizza, it brings me back to my visit to Italy. And flatbread is to die for!
Heather — December 4, 2011 @ 9:15 AM
Cook Without a Book- Meatless Meals looks really good. I am also interested in How to Make Bread. I love making bread (I have challah rising as I write), but I own quite a few bread books (Beard on Bread, The Breadmaker’s Apprentice). Does this book offer something new/better that I should look into? Super Natural Foods also caught my eye. Okay, I’m going to stop before I list every one!!
So… as a cookbook junkie I have quite a few cookbooks. I often find myself flipping through a whole pile a books trying to remember where I found a recipe I remember. Do you find yourself doing that? Any tricks?
Thank you for doing this! Both the giveaway, and the careful thought that went into the recommendations.
Brianna — December 4, 2011 @ 9:29 AM
I would love the Cooking Without book. My friend and roommate recently went vegetarian and I would love to be able to cook dinner for them!
Shauna Granit — December 4, 2011 @ 9:40 AM
I would love to have the Artisan Pizza and Flat Bread cookbook! Looks awesome! Of course all of them look great!
Tracy — December 4, 2011 @ 9:41 AM
Is it wrong to want them all??? If I had to choose one it would be the GoodBite, I love new easy ideas that keep you out of the “same thing every week” rut…
Michelle — December 4, 2011 @ 10:59 AM
I really want to improve my bread baking so I am on the lookout for a good bread cookbook. Your suggestion is right up my alley.
Jessica — December 4, 2011 @ 11:10 AM
I would love the Super Natural Cooking book! Actually, any of them and more! I love to find cook books that teach me something new! Thanks for the giveaway!
Lindsay — December 4, 2011 @ 11:18 AM
I’m a sweet tooth junkie so CakeSpy is a good one for me!
Vicki — December 4, 2011 @ 12:34 PM
All of them please!!! What I need most is a good gluten-free baking cookbook. My son’s wonderful new girlfriend is gluten intolerant so making desserts and things are tough for me right now. Any suggestions for a good cookbook/recipes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for offering this prize at this time of year.
My daughter-in-law has a tree nut allergy so that offers its own challenge too but she is so worth the trouble.
Kelly WElfel — December 4, 2011 @ 12:43 PM
Would love to look at Good Bite Week Night Meals as I am always looking for easy, delicious, and nutritious meals to make during the week. I am always looking to make new recipes as it seems that I prepare the same meals over and over, even though my family never complains. Thanks and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Jan — December 4, 2011 @ 1:57 PM
The Homesick Texan Cookbook
Valerie — December 4, 2011 @ 1:58 PM

I love baking and collecting cookbooks. If I had to choose one, because I would love ALL of them, I would choose Cakespy.
Kati — December 4, 2011 @ 3:04 PM
I would want the I love Trader Joe’s cookbook. We just got a Traders in Dallas and I’m excited to check it out and see what I’ve been missing. I love their business model and am certain I’d love their recipes.
Johanna — December 4, 2011 @ 3:18 PM

i’m always on the lookout for good recipes and I’m betting this one is diverse. thanks for the excellent post!
Rachel Jaggers — December 4, 2011 @ 3:30 PM
The Best Bakesale Cookbook has my name on it! I could use a hardcopy of all my go to baking recipes- I’ve been a pinning fiend on pinterest
MistressKristin — December 4, 2011 @ 3:37 PM
I want the Bitchin’ Kitchen book so bad! I’m also craving “Feasts” by Nigella Lawson
Catie W. — December 4, 2011 @ 3:42 PM
Not on the list, but I’ve been wanting to get the Bread Bible for ages.
Emily — December 4, 2011 @ 4:54 PM
The Cakespy cookbook and the Ruhlman’s Twenty cookbook have really caught my eye! I enjoy sitting down and poring over a new cookbook more than anyone else in my circle of friends…although my friends usually appreciate the result!
Katya — December 4, 2011 @ 5:04 PM
I would love to have “Cook without a book ” by Pam Anderson
SheilaM — December 4, 2011 @ 5:31 PM

Morgan — December 4, 2011 @ 5:38 PM
I’ve heard a lot about the CakeSpy cookbook lately, and it sounds like a lot of fun. The BakeSale book also seems really great. can you tell I love baking!?
Cookin' Canuck — December 4, 2011 @ 5:40 PM
This is a fantastic list of cookbooks. I’m happy to have several of these on my bookshelf. If I were to add one or two more, they would have to be Michael Ruhlman’s book, Artisan Pizza and Homesick Texan.
CulinarilyCourtney — December 4, 2011 @ 5:42 PM
I would love to pre-order Joy the Baker’s cookbook that is coming out next February!!!

so many cookbooks!!! I love them all, but my favorite is the Puhlman’s Twenty!
Kiersten — December 4, 2011 @ 6:49 PM
I have a sweet tooth so the Bake Sale cookbook appeals to me right away. To counteract my sweet tooth I am always looking for ways to make more nutritious meals so my second choice would be Super Natural Every Day.
Stacey B — December 4, 2011 @ 7:22 PM
The Homesick Texan looks interesting
SusanMHS — December 4, 2011 @ 7:30 PM
I havent found one yet but i will!!!
Marie — December 4, 2011 @ 7:42 PM

Amy M — December 5, 2011 @ 9:18 AM
I would want to pick up Ruhlman’s cookbook because I’m just getting into cooking and it would be an awesome first cookbook to have to help understand how things work in recipes and do maybe I can start thinking up my own recipes
Kim — December 5, 2011 @ 9:42 AM
I would LOVE ANY of these cookbooks – but have to admit that “Good Bite Weeknight Meals” is calling my name. I need some new ideas and some new menu items for the weeknights – and this looks PERFECT!!
BerniG — December 5, 2011 @ 9:55 AM
Homesick Texan or Cooking for Trouble. I’m a Pennsylvania girl living in Oklahoma, so I can really use the ideas in the Homesick Texan to cook for my husband. I watch Bitchin Kitchen with Nadia G and the food looks amazing. I think that would be a fun cook book to have around too.
Kim — December 5, 2011 @ 10:27 AM
I love Nadia G! I am already asking for her cookbook this christmas!!

Erin — December 5, 2011 @ 12:22 PM
I’m dying to get my hands on Nadia G’s new cookbook. I can’t get enough of her punk rock presence. I have a feeling she makes Julia Child turn over in her grave
Brenda — December 5, 2011 @ 12:51 PM
I follow the Homesick Texan pretty regularly — I think I would choose her book though Our Best Bites looks appealing, as well. Thanks for the giveaway!
Erin — December 5, 2011 @ 3:32 PM
I LOVE the idea of “Encyclopedia of Sandwiches” and the Cakespy cookbooks! But any of these would be a treat to find under the tree!
