giveaway: letterpress cookbook

here is a cookbook that is customizable and oh so pretty.

(if you do not have a blog or your blog is private, please include your email in your comment.) comments are open until saturday / may 30 / midnight / mountain time. a random winner will be announced the first week of june.

merci! read their blog & browse their letterpress shop.

  9. I've got the anxious no eating bug right now, so I can't think of a favorite. But as silly as this sounds...all I want to eat is supreme pizza from Sam's club right now. That has nothing to do with cooking, I know.

    Watermelon. Watermelon. And more watermelon.

  47. I'm newly married of just three weeks today, and we've moved from away our home town for the summer. I was craving my mom's roast and potatoes that she makes every Sunday so that our new home would feel like my parent's house, so I made it this past Sunday. I love how certain smells just remind me of my parent's house, bringing all the laughter and smiling faces of my family with it.

    I would love this cookbook to start my own collection! It's absolutely adorable!

    My favorite food cannot be made singular since 98% of the meals made at my friend's hands is the best thing ever tasted on the palate of the human experience. It's some Old World as we mosey through the grocery store aisles, selecting the wine, then struggling down the stairs with the bags. I put things away for her while she selects tonight's ingredients. Then she performs some sort of hidden magic in plain sight as I sit at the table and ramble nothing sentences. And once her spell has been cast into completion she fills the plates, I the cups, and together we sit down. It's not a food but experience that I treasure most.

    ReplyDelete
  89. oh my goodness gracious.

    cooking?

    and letterpress?

    i love it.

    and i love my mom's italian chicken. when she makes it i eat and eat and eat.

  90. Right now, pesto chicken salad on fresh french bread...

    ReplyDelete
  91. Pesto... I love that it can be modified in many different ways and incorporated into almost any dish. However, the absolute best is freshly made basil pesto with linguini. Why it has to be linguini I don't really know, but for me, it is the best tasting pasta shape to pair with pesto!

  103. letterpressed cookbook! i did not know such things existed. what a fun idea! i'll definitely have to look into purchasing such things if i dont win. which i'm not likely to as i've yet to win anything online. oh well. now, do they have letterpressed insert pages? that would be fun too.

    i LOVE italian food. i also love international pasta/noodle dishes. i love chow mein, as much as i love spaghetti, as much as i love pad thai, as much as i love vietnamese noodles, as much as i love the pasta-y, noodle-y dishes of other cultures!

  104. Strawberry sorbet! Does that count as a food? I love food so much I have to separate it into categories and that is definitely more of a treat.

    I do love that spinach quiche you so kindly blogged about some time ago.

    ReplyDelete
  105. this is absolutely beautiful!
    this might sound weird but my favorite food is popcorn. air-popped, drizzled with real butter, hit with a dash of salt, and then grate some parmesan on top.
    when i was growing up every sunday night was popcorn for dinner. my twin sister and i would sit on the kitchen floor and share our huge wooden bowl. we loved it so much we had rules about how many kernels you could eat at a time, and the other one had to stop when one girl had to get up for something.

  106. Love it! My favorite food right now is Lefty's pizza in my neighborhood in San Diego!

  127. i love the cookbook! letterpress makes everything look elegant and there's something about the texture that i love.

    my favorite food (among many) is a salad that my mom makes-i think it's called roasted red pepper salad. she actually roasts the peppers on a burner to make a dressing and then the salad has ham slices, black-eyed peas and if i remember right, arugula and various spinaches. it's funny that it's my favorite because i'm a REALLY picky eater but it's divine and impossible to resist.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Well, my favorite food is one I don't have to cook! It seems like everything is more delicious when someone else cooks it for me! I LOVE the idea of making my own cookbook. My mother-in-law had one similar and since her sudden passing, it has become a family treasure. Love your blog!

  131. My absolute favorite food would have to be spaghetti. I'm usually good at not over-eating, but spaghetti is the one food that I will consume until the verge of becoming physically ill. My ex-boyfriend's best friend's grandmother was a tiny little japanese woman who made the best spaghetti sauce I have ever tasted -- her sauce was almost more of a 'spaghetti soup.' There was something in it, though, that made that sauce the most delicious and magical thing I have ever tasted, and to this day that ingredient remains a mystery.
