Greetings from 10,000 feet up in the air. Okay, so I don’t really know how high up in the sky I am, but I’m heading home to Los Angeles after a great trip to NYC. One of my favorite parts about this trip was getting to meet so many new and fabulous people who have gorgeous cookbooks.
I’m a little bit of a cookbook fanatic. They all live on a special bookcase, dedicated to cookbooks, in my living room. And obviously they are color coordinated. I mean it only makes sense to color coordinate your cookbooks right? I color coordinate my closet, so what’s wrong with doing it all over the house.
This past week I found a bunch of new books that have already been ordered and will hopefully be arriving within the next 24 hours. Gotta love Amazon Prime 🙂
So here they are! And because I’m so jazzed about these kick ass cookbooks, I’m hosting a giveaway! One lucky What’s Gaby Cooking winner gets to pick whichever book they want and I’ll have it shipped right to you to join your own cookbook collection! Just leave a comment here telling me which book sounds like your new favorite! Contest closes Friday at Midnight PST.
So… here goes… my latest favorite cookbooks…

it’s so hard to say! The southern girl in me wants to say ‘fried chicken and champagne’ while the baked goods lover in me is drooling over the ‘chewy, gooey, crsipy, and crunchy melt in your mouth cookies’ and at the same time the nutritious me is dying to see what kinds of recipes are filling the pages of ripe. Maybe it’s the colorful cover, or the fresh ideas for eating veggies and fruits…RIPE wins!
PS made the BBQ Chicken quinoa – one batch with chicken and one without – totally yummy either way!
Making your slutty brownies for my not so nutritious minded cousin whom I’m visiting in LA this weekend – mostly because I want an excuse to nibble on one myself:)
I would LOVE the ‘Serve Yourself’ cookbook!! It would be a wonderful gift for either of my sons.
I would LOVE a copy of the newlywed cookbook – looks right up my alley (and I bet my husband would love it and the variety it provided even more :))
Alice Medrich’s cookbook looks good enough to eat!
Um, I have to love “Fried Chicken and Champagne”! Sounds so interesting!
Fried chicken and champagne would be my choice.
Hubby and I love to cook – newlywed please!
We caught wind of your cookbook giveaway here at Lisa Dupar & Co. and love your taste in cookbooks, Gaby! If “Fried Chicken & Champagne” comes out as the crowd fav, Lisa would love to personally send a signed copy with tins of her famous Seasoning Salt & Cocoa Nib Rub to the lucky winner! Feel free to e-mail us more details – Cheers!
Cook This Now: 120 Easy and Delectable Dishes You Can’t Wait to Make by Melissa Clark
the The Glorious Pasta of Italy by Domenica Marchetti sounds glorious!
I would love Fried Chicken and Champagne, because I Champagne and Fried Chicken are two of my favorite things!
Cook this now….(Normal people read books I read cookbooks) :o) Chewy, gooey, crispy, crunchy, melt in your mouth cookies!! Yep I really love them all!!
Boy, oh boy, I’m thrilled with the idea of winning “The Glorious Pasta of Italy”. As if I don’t already have enough Italian cookbooks, but an addiction is an addiction. Thanks for this opportunity!
Cook This Now looks great! My kind of recipes.
I would love the Ripe cookbook. I’m a vegetarian and am always looking for more veggie and fruit recipes. Plus the reviews say the photography alone is worth getting this. Thanks for the chance!
Cook this Now looks great!
Typical me…I can’t make a decision. It’s a tie between The Newlywed Cookbook & The Glorious Pasta of Italy. The former because I still consider myself a newlywed & the latter because my sister in law is half Italian and I’d like at least ONE italian cookbook!
The one by Melissa Clark – I have heard good things about it.
I would love a copy of the Newlywed Cookbook!
The Cook This Now cookbook sounds amazing! Would love to cook from it.
Thank you for this opportunity!
I love the looks of the Newlywed one; my boyfriend and I love to cook together!
Ripe! Moving to the Midwest really gives me some great opportunities to go to Farmer’s markets and expand my fresh fruit and veggie experiences. I would LOVE to know how to actually USE all the options I have available.
Chewy gooey crispy crunchy looks great
I would love serve yourself. It’s hard to cook for one person!
Cook This Now by Melissa Clark is the one that looks the best to me!
It would have to be gooey chewy crispy crunchy!!!
I couldn’t decide which one I wanted the most….decisions, decisions!! I’d go with The Newlywed Cookbook, Serve Yourself or The Glorious Pasta of Italy. I’m kind of a cookbook collector.
