Win this book!This summer was challenging. The weather was gloomy, and so were some other things. I dropped off a lot of blogging, but now that "fall" is here, I'm hoping to come back to the swing of things! (btw, "Fall" in Los Angeles includes 90 degree temps this weekend! Eeck!)
This fall, I'm joining a new cooking group! French Fridays with Dorie is a sister project of Tuesdays with Dorie. The awesome Dorie Greenspan has a new book out and FFwD is going to go through the book one recipe at a time.
Since "cooking" to me usually involves mixing TWO different cereals, soy milk AND a sliced banana (oh yes, that is four different ingredients!), I am looking forward this group!
And if you want to join, register here.
My Tuesdays with Dorie friend Mary (such a cool name!) has given me an early 40th birthday gift of Dorie's new book! Whoo hoo! It is beautiful and I can't wait to start cooking. Then I thought, what better way to celebrate Fall, Dorie, Birthdays, Friends and all that good stuff, than by paying it forward and giving one person a copy of the book?!
To enter the giveaway (one copy of Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours), just leave a comment (if you aren't connected to a blog, leave your email address...and if you have a blogger account but it's private so I can't see it...leave your email address). Deadline is Thursday, September 30, 2010 at midnight PDT. Only US addresses. FTC disclosure: I'm paying for this myself.
{10/1/2010 update: Contest is closed! Congrats to #35 The Goatherd}
Good luck and happy cooking! - mary the food librarian

Awesome giveaway girlfriend. Looking forward to seeing what you cook up!
I know I'm super late but I just watched Julie/Julia and I'm really interested in French cooking right now!
Count me in Mary, count me IN! I love Dorie's recipes! TY TY TY!!
Cool, I cant wait to see what you cook up next!
Fall on the right coast (Baltimore) also means 90 degrees! So I feel your pain!
I know I'm super late to this but I just watched Julie/Julia and am interested in French cooking now!
Awesome - love Dorie!

Fall in Oregon started a month ago it seems, and summer didn't start until July :-(
This is a lovely gift! I hope I win, I need a new cookbook!
I was too late to join TWD & would love FFWD.
Loving this giveaway! So nice of you to pay it forward!
Its supposed to be 90 in Northern California this weekend too. I would love to cook from that cookbook once it cools down! ahendricks2343@yahoo.com
Oh, I'd love this. But then, I'm a cookbook junkie!

I'm also waiting for Fall temperatures to come around. If the forecast is correct, we'll be having lows of 65 on monday! Eep, the excitement!!

I've always been intimdated by French cuisine. I look forward to reading more about the recipes in this book. Who knows, maybe it will help me overcome some of the fears!
I can't wait to try recipes from this book!!
And I guess I'll have to actually start a blog to do Fun French Friday's with Dorie (I added the "Fun"...but you know it will be)

I'd love to win the book - I'd even join the group if it's still open. My cooking skills are very weak compared to my baking fu.
I have just loved following your blog. As a displaced Los Angeleno, I love seeing where you are eating...especially sushi and dim sum. I wish I was as organized as you are to be able to take lovely baked goods to your colleagues. Anyway, I look forward to more cooking with you!
Wow, thanks for letting me know about French Fridays. Definitely going to check it out! :)
Glad to know about this new group, I may have to join one to push me out side of my comfort zone!
jenn . rorabaugh at gmail.com
Well this would be a treat I love her.I rarely enter..this is how much I love her.Thanks for the opportunity.
I had the good fortune of getting to see Dorie do a food demo at ALA conference and she gave me some advice about improving my gougeres! I'd love own a copy of her book!
Mary! Pick me, pick me! -- Carolyn triviachick@yahoo.com
Dorie's "Baking: From my Home..." has become my baking bible. I'd love to get my hands on more of her awsome recipes!
I love Dories book Baking From My Home to Yours. This is very generous of you. I am now imagining me winning. Ommm.
Yea! I love free books, especially cookbooks! Thanks for sharing and paying it forward Mary! Happy 40th to you too!
Ohh, I would love to read this!
Wow, that sounds fantastic! I'd love to try her recipes!!!
I would love to try out a lot of these recipes. Thanks for a chance at the book!
i would LOVE to win this--i want to join the group but my cookbook budget is shot...
woot!

Hey! Can't wait for French Fridays with Dorie to begin!
I look forward to expanding from TWD to FFwD with you. And I don't have the book yet, although I've already made half of October's recipes.
As much as I would love to be part of the project it will not work for me. But would love to try out the recipes in my own time :)
I absolutely love Dorie's baking cookbook. Maybe this new book is what I need to get me to make more "real" food?
Sounds like a neat book to add to my collection!
I want !I want ! I want! Am so in love with Dorie!!!!!
(Christobelng@yahoo.com)
Happy Birthday! I'm excited to check out your new Friday cooking.
What a great giveaway! I think the new group is going to be just as fun as TWD.
I'm so excited about Dorie's new book! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

I chuckled over your recent post about how easy it was to grow tomatoes. The second best way to grow tomatoes is to have a spouse who loves to garden. That's how I do it!
Spouse loves to cook too so I am entering so I can give this to him as a gift. He'll love it!
Wow! I'm so thrilled that Dorie has written another fabulous book. Can't wait to see it.
Stephanie
Please! Yes!
This looks like a great challenge! Maybe I'll join.. but I have been feeling a bit too busy so taking things OFF my plate would be a good idea. When the being busier option is to put Dorie's good food ON my plate I'm really tempted.
How generous of you! I'm looking forward to trying these recipes, whether or not I win the cookbook. Thanks!
I never win food blog contests, but I'll try anyways!

I order cookbooks for a local library and have already sent in the order for the new book. But I'd love to have my own copy!
I also joined the club! Don't have the book yet. I am in desperate need to learn to cook something more fancy than MAC n cheese. Greendoxiestudio@yahoo.com
Did I already leave a comment? I think I didn't. But I did join the Friday Club. YAY. Hope I win.
I've been looking for this book locally but it seems not as easy to find as the first book was for me. Still, I'd love to win it!
I live in north Florida- fall here means 90s temps and high humidity! But I would love to learn to cook French food with Dorie!

Thanks for the great giveaway! You can never go wrong with a Dorie recipe. Love that woman.
I just discovered your foodlibrarian blogspot and have bookmarked it. Will definitely be following your blogs! Thanks!
Just making it under the wire...isn't midnight the deadline???? I cannot believe (but of course I can) you're baking at 4:30 A.M.!!!!
