On the 4th Day of Christmas… A HUGE Cookbook Giveaway! (winner announced)
UPDATE: The winner of the set of 10 cookbooks is:
#4,156 – Danielle M: “Baking Illustrated is my favorite this year! This giveaway is awesome! I am also a cookbook addict!”
Congratulations, Danielle! Be sure to reply to the email you’ve been sent, and I’ll get your cookbooks shipped out to you!

I am a certified cookbook addict; I can’t help myself when it comes to buying new one. I eat up the “best of” lists, the James Beard and IACP winners, and am always adding to my wish list. As a result, I have more than 130 cookbooks lining my shelves. Each has a special place there, but some (both old and new) are hands-down favorites. It was an excruciating task, but I narrowed down my collection to 10 of my most favorite cookbooks, and am giving away copies of all 10 to one lucky reader! Continue reading below for details on how to enter!

this year I’ve been feeling How to be a Domestic Goddess by Nigella Lawson.
I follow BEB on my Google Reader.
This might sound silly because it isn’t a true cookbook, but Pinterest has given me so many amazing recipes this year that I’m going to say Pinterest is my favorite cookbook of 2012. I suppose it’s sort on an online cookbook of sorts… An online cookbook that is a compilation of recipes from all over the world!

I think that your site would have to be my favorite “cookbook”. Made so many things from it since discovering it this year!
Our Best Bites… I love it. Honestly I don’t have anymore.
I finally bought the Joy of Cooking but to be true, anything by Sara Foster is my fave. I think we have the same taste buds!
The one I use most is Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day, but love my new Smitten Kitchen cookbook!
I’ve only bought one cookbook in 2012 because the hubster says I have too many cookbooks!! One can NEVER have too many cookbooks, agree?!? So, my one and only 2012 cookbook is “the easy way BAKING” and I love it because it has lots of colorful photos and step-by-step instructions!!
my favorite is the perfect scoop! All about ice cream
