Baking Cookbook Giveaway
[You could win this book if you choose!]
I was contacted recently (well, to be honest, not-so-recently, but that’s the way my schedule is these days) by the good folks at Snubbr to see if I’d like to participate in a giveaway.
Give away something to my blog readers? For free? And even better, give away a cookbook of the winner’s choice?* No thought required: the answer, of course, was “YES!”.
[Perhaps you fancy this one instead?]
For those of you not familiar with the site, Snubbr is a website that, according to the site, “recommends products you’ll love from consumer electronics to gift ideas.” Describing themselves as “like Yahoo Answers for shopping advice,” they pool both their in-house experts and the reading public for advice and recommendations on products and services. They promise to “do all the research and work, saving you time and stress.”
Here’s how Snubbr works: readers submit questions such as, “What is your favorite vegan sweet treat?” or “What are the best investment books?” or “What are the best laptops?” Each question receives anywhere from 0 to 6 recommendations. While I’d personally prefer a longer list from which to choose, for someone who knows nothing about the topic, this would be a good starting point (though I wouldn’t expect in-depth analyses here). It appears that the site is less than year old, which might explain why some questions still await recommendations.
[There's always this one. . . or several others, as well.]
Luckily for you folks, though, the entry on “What are the best baking books?” contains six recommendations (and guess whose book is on the list?). You can choose any one of those listed if you win the giveaway!
HERE’S HOW TO ENTER:
Check out the list of baking books on Snubbr’s page. Then come back here and add a comment, below, telling me which one you’d like. That’s it.
You can gain extra entries all the usual ways**, of course, but it’s not required.
As soon as my next blog post is published (I’m guessing by Monday, May 17)I’ll choose a winner at random and Snubbr will send you your book.
Suddenly, I feel like making more cupcakes. . .or maybe muffins. . .
Good luck, everyone!
*from among their six choices, that is.
**To gain extra entries, do any/all of the following:
- tweet about this on twitter with a link to my blog, then come back and comment to let me know.
- post about this on Facebook; come back and comment to let me know.
- write a blog post about this contest; then–come back here and comment to let me know.
- send emails to friends/family about it with a link to the content (copy me on the email); then–yep, come back here and comment to let me know.
NOTE: Snubbr has asked to restrict the entries to people from the continental US only. As always, many apologies to my fellow Canadians and international readers. . . next time, we’ll go global.
























I really would love to have your book:
Sweet Freedom: Desserts You’ll Love without Wheat, Eggs, Dairy or Refined Sugar
I am newly vegan and have heard such great things about it!
Thanks!
I would love
Sweet Freedom: Desserts You’ll Love without Wheat, Eggs, Dairy or Refined Sugar
I have made some changes to my diet for health reasons and this would be so helpful.
Thanks
Jessica
Just got into your blog, its fun! Would love to see what recipes you have and try to kick my sugar fixes a better and healthier way.
Awwww! I’d love to a copy of your baking book – the sweet freedom! what a wonderful giveaway! Thank you!
I’ve really been wanting that Artisian Bread Book for a long time…that’d be awesome!
Definitely the Sweet Freedom Book. I have heard good things!
Sweet Freedom, definitly. my husband likes all the over processed chemicalized sugar loaded in no way good for you treats and likes to give them to our daughter. I’d rather give healthier things i can make myself. It would help.
You are inspiring with your blog and recipes (that I can eat!). I would love to have your cookbook on file for reference! Sweet Freedom, please
I’d love to win a copy of your cookbook, Sweet Freedom! I’m always searching for new, really healthy recipes.
The Artisan Bread book sounds awesome. I’ve been too lazy to make my own bread, but it sounds like this books makes it quick and easy.
Sweet Freedom! Type 1 diabetic trying to cook healthier sweets.
I’d love to try the Joy of Vegan Baking…already have Sweet Freedom, otherwise of course I’d pick that!
Yay contests! My choice would definitely be ‘the joy of vegan baking’. I’ve been eyeing up that book for far too long!
If you’re taking international entries I’d like Sweet Freedom too!
I would love to win The Joy of Vegan Baking.
Okay, I just put this on my FB wall as well, with a link back to this post.
Sweet Freedom for me. I’ve read/experimented with Artisan Bread, America’s Test Kitchen, and King Arthur. All are fabulous but I’m interested in expanding my horizons when it comes to alternatives in baking. I bake to relax and my waistline isn’t thanking me for it
I would love The Joy of Vegan Baking! I have actually been eyeing that book for a while
would love to try the king arthur flour whole grain baking book!!
Sweet Freedom would be wonderful. I am trying to get rid of refined sugars in my diet, but I love baking! Thanks for the giveaway.
I just sent this link to all my kids, sisters, and friends. Yay!
I’d like to win the Joy of Vegan Baking.
The Joy of Vegan Baking. I’ve heard really great things about it.
The America’s Test Kitchen Family Baking Book. Looks wonderful!
Sweet Freedom, of course!
How cool that your book made their list–congrats! Well, since I already have your book
, I would LOVE the gluten-free baking book.
Courtney
I’d like to win “Sweet Freedom,” of course!
I would love sweet freedom… We are gf/df and newly egg free for my son and he would love some yummy treats
Thank you for your BLOG I just found it and am in love.
I would love to win Sweet Freedom because I’ve seen many from your recipes other bloggers talked about that I want to make.
I hope I’m lucky just this one time!
Well, since I already have Sweet Freedom (thanks!) I’d have to go for the The Joy of Vegan Baking book.
Thanks for another fun contest!
I think Joy of Vegan Baking sounds fabulous! But I only say that cuz Sweet Freedom is the only other one on the list that I have…. OBVIOUS BIAS!
I would love to win Sweet Freedom- I’ve been wanting it for awhile now (I’ve forced myself to give up buying cookbooks for awhile. haha)!
Oooer, “The Joy of Vegan Baking” is calling my name! I don’t have any baking books, and am a new vegan so it would help out the cause quite a bit.
I would love the King Arthur Flour whole grain baking cookbook. I’m always looking for new recipes incorporating whole grains.
Honestly, I’d love Sweet Freedom. The others look interesting, but I feel like SF is a grand slam: vegan, gluten/wheat free, and no refined sugar. And, according to the Amazon reviews, you provide a handy conversion chart or suggestions for making recipes wheat/dairy/sugar free.
I’ve been eyeing Sweet Freedom for a while now, so I would definitely love a copy of your book. But even if I don’t win I see it showing up in my mailbox in the near future
Sweet Freedom is the book I covet the most
Thanks to you and Snubbr for hosting this!
I would love The America’s Test Kitchen Family Baking Book

I totally would want your book! Sweet Freedom!!
I would absolutely love to own Sweet Freedom: Desserts You’ll Love without Wheat, Eggs, Dairy or Refined Sugar! I’m a food-sensitive sweet tooth, and I’m brand new to the blogging world. I follow a wheat- and dairy-free diet, and I’ll also be doing a refined sugar fast starting in June. This book would be the perfect kitchen companion for me in the midst of what is sure to be a very challenging time, ha
I would totally love a copy of Sweet Freedom.
Thanks for posting the awesome giveaway!
I would love to have a copy of Sweet Freedom and try out the recipes from it!

Thanks

OK, if I win I would like The Joy of Vegan Baking: The Compassionate Cooks’ Traditional Treats and Sinful Sweets! What a delightful contest by the way!
Id like the Family Baking book if I should win the contest. I proudly own Sweet Freedom and I am continually giving copies of various recipes in it to family and friends. My daughter is new to the cooking world and I think the Family Baking book would be a good one for her. Posted my excitement for Sweet Freedom ! Sent twitter posts to various health and cooking sites to check it out as well.
I would definitely go with Sweet Freedom! I have been waiting until I move to buy it so as not to add one more thing to my overflowing boxes, so even if I don’t win, I’ll be baking with it before long!
Just tweeted the news
