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!

I really loved the new Sprouted Kitchen. There were several I enjoyed, but that is the one on my wish list. I also really want a copy of What Kate Ate. I love both blogs!
My favorite cookbook this year is my “Cajun Cooking for Beginners” which I picked up from my trip home from being an ex-pat in Australia! It was my boyfriends first trip to the states and he fell in love with jambalaya and gumbo so of course….now we’re cooking it in Queensland!
Mine is Smitten Kitchen Cookbook
My favorite cookbook for 2012 is on my Christmas wish list – In the Kitchen with David: Comfort Foods That Take You Home Cookbook by David Venable.

I reference Usborn’s “Cookbook for Beginners” more often than I care to admit. It isn’t because I’m a beginner, but because the recipes are really tasty and healthy! Can’t wait to teach my little boy to cook using it; the illustrations will be great for him.

Hm, favorite cookbook… I’d have to say a tiny little paperback book of Irish teatime recipes that I picked up while on vacation. I also picked up the (huge) green Gourmet tome, which is nice because it covers all the basics.

“Chopsticks Recipes” series – my favourite cookbook from 2012
My favorite cookbook from 2012 is Beginners Get Sorted from the boys over at Sortedfood.com. The recipes are great for newbies like myself, and most of their recipes come with a “twist.” Their videos are great as well–their YouTube channel is one of my favorites!
I also “like” Brown Eyed Baker on Facebook!

I love Ina, but I’d have to say Soups and Stews on a cold winter’s night!
