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…

Serve Yourself by Joe Yonan
Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cookies by Alice Medrich
Ripe: A Fresh, Colorful Approach to Fruits and Vegetables by Cheryl Sternman Rule

What great choices! I would like Ripe so I can try some tasty new ideas for fresh fruit and veggies. I’m trying to cook with local and in-season ingredients.
Would love the cookie book. Thank you so much for sharing!!
I’ll go with Cook This Now by Melissa Clark
Oh, I’d have to say The Glorious Pasta of Italy! BTW…Cook This Now is only $3.99 on amazon for your Kindle!!
cook this now!
Fried Chicken and Champagne for me – pretty please? Thanks!
I would love ” The Glorious Pasta of Italy”,
I could eat pasta every day!!my favorite meals.
Fried chicken and Champagne–what a juxtaposition! Would love to try that out!
I would lOvd any of them but fried chicken and champagne tops my list!
“Ripe” sounds so good for the upcoming summer! What an amazing giveaway!
Chewy Gooey looks good to me.
I love cookbooks, but the internet has me spoiled and I don’t buy books very often any more. If I were going to make a purchase, I would have to say that Serve Yourself would be at the top of the list. Not only because I need to learn how to cook for one, but because the recipes sound wonderful!!
Thank you so much for doing this giveaway.
I would love to own Fried Chicken and Champagne – nothing beats a great fried chicken dinner!
I would love a copy of Serve Yourself! It cant be difficult adapting recipes when you are cooking just for one 🙂
Ooops I meant “can be difficult”
I like Cook This Now, great giveaway, thanks!
Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt In Your Mouth Cookies! YES! 😉
Alice Medrich’s book…how could that not be good!
The Glorious Pasta of Italy, and The Newlywed Cookbook both catch my eye… Might have to hit up Amazon myself a bit later!
Fried Chicken & Champagne sounds amazing 😉
Oh! Fried Chicken and Champagne would be my pick! How decadent can you get! Yum!
Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy for me!
Welcome home Gaby!
Love cookbooks in all shapes and sizes – they are taking over my house and my life! Glad you had a fun trip in NYC and can’t wait to see you sometime soon. No need to enter me in the contest BTW 😉
Cook This Now. I am a big fan of Melissa Clark and read her column every Wednesday in the NYT. I also don’t buy cookbooks anymore (well, except for Ina Gartens!) thanks to the internet, but this one would be great to have!
I am in love with them all….but if I had to choose one I would pick the newlywed one since I am 7 short months away from being a newlywed myself!!
Joy the Baker has been on my wish list 😉
The Newlywed Cookbook!!
cook this now looks like a great book
Oh my Ripe looks very interesting to me:)
Ripe looks like a beautiful book! Thanks for having such a nice giveaway 🙂
Ripe! Ripe! Ripe!
(that was supposed to read like a chant, not me shouting….:-))
the Newlywed Cookbook looks like a winner even if you’re not a newlywed!
Oh I’d love Melissa Clark’s Cook This Now! What a sweet giveaway idea 🙂
Ripe looks very fitting for this time of year!
So many good books, it’s hard to pick! “Cook This Now!” looks like it might become a kitchen staple and gets my vote.
COOKIES! COOKIES! COOKIES! YUM!
The newlywed cookbook sounds the most exciting and seductive!!!
Ripe – found a great “veggie lady” near me and we are about to start a children’s garden in our backyard!
Choices – choices… the italian pasta looks fantastic, but the ripe one has my attention too… it’d be a toss up.
I’d have to say the Fried Chicken and Champagne. Just the name is making me drool!
Oh my! They all sound amazing….if I HAD to pick though, I’d go for the Newlywed Cookbook. Maybe that would get him in the kitchen more 🙂
Cook This Now– this is the lifestyle I try to follow! Washington apples should not be in a grocery store in February! Using what is fresh, tasty, and avaliable is fun and healthy! Looks like a good one! 🙂
Cook this now. The reason I would like this book is because I an a busy mom working full-time with a husband who can barely make a sandwich for himself, so I need to cook recipes that are simple and quick.
Thank you so much for thinking of your readers while you’re 10,000 feet up! If I won, I would select RIPE because I’ve met Cheryl, I really want a cop, and I haven’t gotten around to buying it yet. 🙂

Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cookies
For some reason the Fried Chicken and Champagne sounds good.
I am taken by the title, Fried Chicken and Champagne!!!
I would say Pasta for me…Yummy! But, they all look great! I do have the fried chicken and champagne and it is a wonderful book. Thanks…
I think Ripe or the Newlywed cookbook would be my favorite. I would normally choose the cookie cookbook, but i’m afraid i already have far too many cookie recipes 😀
