Double Book Giveaway- gluten-free AND gluten-filled!



Browsing through my sort-of vast cookbook collection, I came to the realization that I have a few cookbooks that have served me well, and yet might now serve some other home cook even better. Today I am offering two of my lovely readers one of two books that have been previously owned and loved by me!

Bruce Fife's classic book of coconut flour cookery, Cooking with Coconut Flour.

Nigella Lawson's beautiful, hardcover, (and very much standard-baking-ingredient-filled) tour de force, How to be a Domestic Goddess.

Two very different books, the first is filled with gluten and grain-free recipes and some recipes are reduced or no sweetener, the second book is loaded with delicious looking photos of sugar and flour laden confections. I hope two of you will find these books to be inspiring in your kitchen.

To win a book please leave a comment telling me which cookbook interests you most. For additional entries leave separate comments linking to your favorite baked good recipe (does not have to be a dessert, think muffins, cookies, crackers, bread, etc.), and/or subscribe to my blog.

May the luckiest baker win! I will announce the winners on Feburary 18th, 2010.

I am sharing this with Cheeseslave's Real Food Wednesday.

  7. I have looked at Bruce Fife's book online and at Barnes & Noble. I want to buy it, but money is tight right now. I know coconut flour is expensive, but I would find a way to include it in my budget. I'm looking for ways to reduce grain consumption. Thank you so much! Jean

  12. Hi! It's February in New York -- I need chocolate!
    I work on a farm, and this is the time of year when I need a gazillion more calories to help keep me warm in the snow, and I don't mind if I get a few of those calories from cupcakes :-)
    How to be a Domestic Goddess would probably help me towards that end.

  14. Definitely the Cooking with Coconut Flour cookbook! I'm pretty confident about adapting just about any recipes to meet my needs, but my coconut flour baking is the exception - all the recipes are too eggy. Since I've been moving away from grains for months and coconut flour is a great thing to bake with instead (if you can figure it out!), I'd love to see his tips and recipes so I can produce something my kids request me to make a second time! :)
