I'm coming here empty handed today. Well almost...Looks like I won't be around here much this week and I apologize for that. I was hoping to have pictures of some of the behind the scene moment of the work for Carrie's cookbook but I got to tell you, when 2am rolls around...I have no more energy left to bake and write.
Carrie is here, staying at the house for a few days working with me on her book. It's the first time we meet in person and it really feels special to be part of making her dream come true. Above is an out take of one of the dessert for a her book. I was putting things together and wanted to check the morning light in the studio one morning.
I fall asleep flipping through pages of other people's cookbooks knowing that I am never going to have time to bake or cook anything from them. Instead of seeing them collect dust, I thought about holding a giveaway for a couple I have enjoyed reading so far. More like salivating as I read! I have two wonderful books up for grabs for you today: Amy's Bread and Unforgettable Desserts.
All you have to do is leave a comment here (one entry per person) between Tuesday February 9th and Friday February 12th midnight eastern US time. I'll ship anywhere in the world. My dear B. will pick at random a winner for each cookbook.
I really am bad at having a pool of recipes ready to go for busy times. I wish I was as organized as my buddy Jen. Sigh...I have a post in draft mode. I don't have things properly aligned in my head yet. Ha...that could be a goal for 2010 right - a sort of late resolution. Hmmmm. I promise to work on that.
Thank you for your patience!

When you are ready things will some how work out aligne themselves. The thing is not too worry too much about it.
Here I am! Tomorrow I'll try with macarons!!! kisses

hi! ^^ i'm new at baking,, but i really hope i can get the books! haha.. ^^
Hi! I just made my 7th batch of macarons but the insides are hollow. Why O why? They are so tiring but this time it only took me an hour. Sigh. They finally looked purrrfect but now now moistness inside.
Desserts are my favourite part of any meal!! I would love to be able to make something that was "Unforgettable". As for bread... the book looks like it would be inspiriation!
Cookbook! Yes please. I love you tartelette.
I'm slowly learning how to cook, so a new cookbook to teach me all the ropes would be great!
Your photos are beautiful.
I am a big fan...love you recipes and sharing in your baking adventure!

Bonjour,
quotidiennement en vadrouille sur de nombreux sites US, j'ai découvert votre site grâce à un lien de Bakerella. Je suis française, habitant à Toulon et je suis une fan des USA, d'où la raison de mes voyages dématérialisés sur les sites US.
Je voulais juste vous dire que vous avez AUTANT de commentaires que le blog Pioneer Woman !!! Je pense que vous devez connaitre et c'est un sacré exploit ;-))
Un bonjour amical de France.
hello... i love your blog and have nominated you for kreative blogger award...
please reveal 7 things about yourself and then pass along to 7 others...
have a great valentines day! x pam
Good luck this week! I hope I can add one of these to my cookbook shelf!
I know what you mean about not having time to bake or write...live gets in way of edible joy. Would love either of these books! I only have one cookbook and its lame!
Carbs and sweets are seriously my life lines, so both of these cook books are totally meant for me!!
Would love either cookbook!
