Thank you for the great response to guest posting. Very honored by your comments and emails. Stay tuned this week for the outcome.
And now: Giving
November turns the corner into one of my favorite times of year for cooking. With holiday soirees and family parties, I have plenty of reasons and opportunity to experiment in the kitchen. And it serves as a great time to review my favorite cookbooks and explore new ones.
And one fantastic cookbook is from The Food Network. With over 250 recipes from one of my favorite networks/sites, this cookbook has great tutorials and photos accompanying recipes ranging from lamb to baked eggs with farmhouse cheddar. And don't say you were never inspired to learn to strip lemongrass. You can show all your stripping skills after you read this book (and I do mean the lemongrass!)
So I am sending a copy to one of you. Leave me a comment by Friday and once again, we will employ the magic hat to produce a winner. The magic you create after that is up to you... good luck.

I love stripping lemongrass! Do you get Cooks Illustrated? It's a magazine (America's Test Kitchen) filled with recipes and at the end of every year they print a cookbook with all that year's recipes (like Southern Living does). You'd like it!
Just ignore this one...I'm not sure my first comment went through, so I'm paying attention this time....
ALWAYS in the market for a new cookbook!
Cool....love cookbooks. Don't use em, but still love to look at them. I have something for you on my blog!
Cool! I love cookbooks (and Food Network) Plus I have no clue how to strip lemongrass...
OOoooh, this looks good. I have a cookbook addiction. I buy them from Amazon.com and it's a real problem. I'd love to win this one! I'm so excited for Thanksgiving and trying out some new recipes.
Ohhhhh....a cookbook....oddly enough it is not one I own (I own a lot). It needs a home....Pick me.
That would be awesome since I host about 40 people at our Thanksgiving and just in time for turkey day preparations!
Oh pick me, I need all the help I can get in the kitchen, other rooms in the house, not so much!
Awww this cookbook is actually on my "wish list" for Christmas!
This is exactly what I needed! Wow do I love blogging!
I'm trying to collect cookbooks, because I only started cooking about a year and a half ago and I still need lots of help. I've pretty much got the basics down, so now I'd like to try out some fancy schmancy stuff. :-)
I love the smell of crushed lemongrass!
ooo pick me. I love cookbooks. And by love, I mean LOVE.
I've been wanting this cookbook. Yum.
I've been wanting a new cookbook so, yes, please, I'm in.
I love cookbooks. All the pictures and sometimes exotic recipes. It makes me think I can do anything just reading them.
So yes, I would love to win a kickin cookbook!
Oooo I would love this! I am hosting my very first Christmas dinner this year so it would come in handy!
Thanks for the opportunity!

Oh, I have the perfect spot for that cookbook!

I wanna get lucky.
Awesome! I love to collect cookbooks!! And I don't have this one!!!
I collect cookbooks and I don't have this one.
I love cookbooks with tips from the cook, and a list of substitutions.
Can't wait to see who is the guest post..wait. Not that I don't like reading your words...don't get me wrong.
Sigh.
I'm shutting up.
The stripping sounds like fun. What's lemongrass by the way? ;)
My husband and my kids apparently think I need to learn how to cook, so this might be just what I need!
I'm teaching myself to cook before I move in with my boyfriend so I definitely need a cookbook. :)
I love the Food Network and I am always looking for new recipes to scare my children, I mean nurish my children.
The Food Network does such creative and fun shows! I'm sure the cookbook is FAB!
Awesome! Stick my name in the hat!
I Love Food Network and would love this cookbook. Oh Your ricotta cheesecake recipe looks amazing. I can't wait to try it. I'll be doing the Progresso Gift drawing later today and I'll let you know if your name is drawn out of the magic hat.
Okay, I'm throwing my hat into the ring. Why not?
Oooh, I want to be entered! I love the Food Network. And I love cookbooks. So this one ought to be great! :)
Ooh-I love the Food network! Crossing my fingers that you draw my name:)
I have so many cookbooks. I would love to add another one to the collection.
Thank you for the chance to win.
Ooh, Ooh, Me, Me... *hand in air waving frantically*
Is this a magical cookbook? Will it make me like to cook? No?
I could always give it to my husband...
Cookbooks are my FAVORITE!!! And, the Food Network always has some great ideas...
Lemon grass is an awesome stuffer for whole roasted pig.... Guam style....
Yum. I love to try new recipes. Although generally I stay away from watching cooking shows on TV as they make me just want to eat everything in sight. Maybe I should just remove my fridge and put a elliptical in its place!
I am always on the Food Network site for recipes...awesome.
I love to cook! And to potentially burn my fingers off.
It would be my first cookbook! I would love to win this!
ooo...such yumminess
I have always collected cookbooks, and now that I'm retired I have more time to browse through them and try out recipes. I would love another!
Ohhhh! Pick me! I'm an aspiring disaster in the kitchen, and I could use some new recipes to blow up!
I'm in! My mother-in-law just signed me up for Food Network magazine and it's great! Love cookbooks, and love your blog!
Pick ME! Pick ME!! I need some cooking inspiration and I have never stripped lemongrass. :)
I would love that book. I have wanted one for some time. I hope that my name just jumps out of your magic hat!
I am not the primary cook in the house but this would make an AWESOME holiday gift for the person who is.
I'd never heard of stripping lemongrass...apparently I have some skills to acquire.
This is definitely my favorite time of year and the time I enjoy cooking the most.
:)
Awesome! What a great giveaway! I'm compiling a cookbook of my favorite healthy recipes that I clip from magazines. Have a great Monday!
This goat loves to cook.
thank you
Cookbook lover !! And Cook ! Great giveaway !!
I want that! Fingers crossed! ;)
Great giveaway! I would love to win! I'm always in the market for good cookbooks.
Would love that cookbook....!! :) Have a great day!
Stripping lemongrass sounds painful. This is why restaurants exist...so I don't feel the need to do something that traumatic.
Baking is my thing. I'll bake you some brownies if I can have the cookbook... :)
Such an awesome giveaway JennyMac! And wouldn't you know that I don't own a single cookbook?!? So, I think I need one, and this one would be perfect to start my collection now that I have my own kitchen!
~ Jen
Okay, if I don't win this cookbook, then I'll be ordering takeout from Cracker Barrel. Oh, who I am kidding? I'll probably order takeout either way but I can practice for 2010....
Thanks for offering up the chance!
Oh yum! The Food Network knows what they're doing!
Well, I definitely need some help in the kitchen!
Just how big is this magic hat of yours, anyway?

Oooh, I love to cook! It totally relaxes me and I'm always trying new things. Cookbook wouldn't go to waste in my house! :)
OH!!! I need this book. Need it, need it, need it. I do all the cooking in the house and am always looking for new stuff. I've actually poached a few recipes recently -- and always giving credit to the original -- over at http://www.phoo-d.com. I just made the granola bars she talks about yesterday. They were damn easy to make and taste fantastic. She can explain better than I, since it's from her family.

Ooh come on magic hat!! Push Eve to the top! You can never have enough cookbooks, and I am SO desperate for an American cookbook, and a bit of tasty "my mama use to make this" cooking.
Oh come on JennyMac...we can only strip the lemongrass??? Anyway, I have to agree that this time of year is my favorite for cooking and baking as well. In fact, just spent all day yesterday baking..yummy.
obsessed with the food network, what a fantabbbuuu idea for a giveaway.
don't forget to share what your go to holiday recipe is!!!
Cheers,
Cameron
Stripping and cooking sounds like a magical dance to me!
I love love love cookbooks because I have to have one in order to cook! I am one of those people who have to follow a recipe! So, i want it! I need it! Very exciting!
I could use some big time help with my cooking - please sign me up!
I LOVE foodnetwork! Pick em magical hat!
I adore the food network... looks like a great cookbook! xo
Oh, I would love a new cookbook! Surely my husband would appreciate something concrete teaching me to cook. :)
ohhh food network is like porn.... haa!! not really but close... its just so addicting! lol.... but that cookbook looks awesome!
I'd love to win that book!
Umm... again, duh! I love cookbooks! Pages and pages of tasty things to make - yes, please.
Thanks for being such a giver. If I had a spare cent, I'd consider this whole giveaway concept... someday, someday ;)
There is no time of year that I'm inspired to cook. Hmmm...I wonder if that's because I don't have the right cookbook.
Cooking is one of my new passions so I try all your recipes! And I'm always looking for great new cookbooks!
what a great giveaway. i loke the food network and cooking. i hope i win this book.
Wait, if I win this, does that mean I have to cook????
Yum! Who doesn't need new recipes. Great giveaway!
Have you commented on our Kindle contest yet??? Come on...you know you want to! AND you get an extra entry if you blog about it. Just sayin'.
Looks like a great cookbook! And the perfect time of year to try out some new recipes.
I totally bought my Mom that cookbook and she loves it!
Two of my favorite things....the words of Jennomacinator and the Food Network!!!!! Ohhhhh magic hat PLEASE pick me!
S
Ooh, pick me! Me me me me me! I heart cookbooks :) (and I'm completely at a loss at meal planning lately)
Food Network! I fall asleep at night to them. It would be nice to have a cookbook since I don't always hear the end of the wonderful food.
I never win anything.
You are my favorite blogger.
Does that help??
Pick ME!! :)
It is hard not to love lemongrass.
Since content isn't a factor and it's comment only, here I am. Comment, comment, comment!
I tend to make a menu a mile long and then have such a hard time narrowing my choices down. Maybe this cookbook will help???
I already have this one on my wish list!
I've never tried stripping (lemongrass), but I'm certainly willing to try. What a great pre-holiday giveaway!
Oh man how I would love this bad boy! I need all the help that I can get!
Oh....that just looks like the best ever cookbook!
Ooooooh, I would love a new cookbook, JennyMac! Thanks!
I'll comment just cause I like ya, but for the love of all that's holy, I don't wanna win. A recipe book implies that I might cook.
I would LOVE to win a new cookbook!!!
yay! i'm new to your blog via m-cat and shark bait. love LOVE the story about the 22 year old vet. you're a great writer! Pick me for the win!!
I am such a cookbook junkie! I love getting/buying new cookbooks and planning meals for the next few weeks. :)
Oh Pick me please, I'll send you something I make ... LOL :)
What an awesome book, I so excited to try out something from it and show it off. :)
Hmm I didn't even know you were supposed to strip lemongrass!! Looks like this book could teach me a thing or two. I also love the idea of cooking at this time of year - lots of warming meals.

I redecorated my kitchen a little just yesterday and finally made room for my cookbooks! Oh was I happy to bring them to where they belong at last! But I have no doubt they would love some company now that they have their own space.
That book looks awesome!!!!!!! One of my fav shows -the Food Network. I'd be happy to take this off your hands :)
My family needs me to win this cookbook!
Looks like I discovered your blog just in time! Hope that magic hat produces my name! :) Love your blog, by the way!
