The Best of America’s Test Kitchen 2010 GIVEAWAY!
Sometimes, as wonderful as it is to putz around in the kitchen for hours on end, creating, re-vamping, and photographing all of the stuff that comes out of said shoebox of a kitchen – it’s also nice not to cook, dirty, muck up and incessantly clean everything in sight.
Sometimes, it’s nice to kick back, sleep in until 8, watch the the collective series of The West Wing beginning with season 1 with a large mug of coffee in hand (of course), and go have a date night out in the big city with your hunny.
(*Sidebar* – Now let me just tell you that our date night included seeing Harry Potter 7 part 2 in 3D IMAX – and Oh. Em. Gee. Mind…. Blown. Okay, got that off my chest.)
And sometimes, when I’m feeling guilty about neglecting this little blog and sharing my life with you all, I feel I should give something away to make up for the blank screen left before you these last few days.
Recently, WBACC has passed 500 fans on Facebook. Wow. I’m positively twitter-patted at the response that everyone drummed up. You all are absolutely wonderful, there are no words. Really.
To thank all of you for your overwhelming responses and encouragements, I’m doing ANOTHER giveaway!! This is the second giveaway in as many weeks, and I have to confess they are as much fun for me as they are for you.
Fine, you may just stop in from time to time to try and win free stuff – I don’t judge, cause it’s free stuff – but it also gives me a chance to indulge my shopping bug and not fill up my apartment with more stuff! Cause really, there are only so many nooks, crannies and bookshelves for me to put things. It’s just best for all of us if this stuff goes right to YOU!
In conclusion, I’m giving away a copy of The Best of America’s Test Kitchen 2010!
Here it is in all of it’s glory.
On the cover is their 3 Chocolate Layer Cake.
While watching the episode of ATK that featured this recipe, they said this is perhaps the best recipes they’d ever created.
And now, it’s yours!
You’re welcome.
As per usual, ATK lays gives you a wide range of recipes to try and stretch your culinary legs.
Best of all, they’ve attempted, revamped, recreated and tested everything leaving you with a dish that will come out perfectly every time.
How could you not fall in love with this kind of simplicity and perfection?
That’s what I thought.
Photos directly from ATK Book. I photographed the photograph, cause I’m awesome like that.
And to top it off, there is some beautiful food photography. When has a pumpkin pie ever looked so divine?
Finally,

Oh my gosh! I am all over making whatever the heck that is on the cover of the book. Wow. What a gorgeous slice of pie.
For what it's worth, my dream date last weekend involved HP 7 as well. Fun movie and it actually brought a tear to my eye. I loved it. Your whole weekend sounds amazing. I'm now dreaming of doing the same, say in about 16 years. 😉
I'm on the hunt for new main dish recipes, so that's where I would head first. Then I'd have to meander through desserts. Cuz that's how I roll.
I'm a savory kinda gal. Give me stew or give me death! lol.
I'm always on the hunt for any recipes to do something with Blackberries since we have a u-pick blackberry farm and I love to hand out new recipes.
I have a cookbook collection (addiction) and would love to add this book to it.
I love me a good appetizer!

Dessert first!

I would probably make a bread of some sort – I LOVE desserts but I'm not terrifically good at baking them. Breads and muffins on the other hand? Are really quite manageable.
Dessert 1st for sure!

I shadow you EVERYWHERE!! And I share… aanndd… I lovesies ATK.
I'd probably start in the dessert section, especially for that chocolate pie!

I would definitely make a dessert….even though I have lost 90 pounds since May of last year…I still LOVE dessert…sooo I make them and then take them places, such as my parents, parties, work, anywhere just so I can have a piece, but not eat the whole dang thing! It works for me and sooo I love dessert recipes!! Also I am following you now via email!!
Chocolate anything with chocolate is what I would make first.then work my way through the book like I did the CIA cookbook. just completed that one. Such fun!!!
I would hit the appetizers first, like you on fb & about to add you on twitter too. Thanks for the great giveaway!!! ~Angie
Oh my….that pumpkin pie!!! Yum!!!!! I think I would go for appetizers first. I LOVE appetizers and am always looking for something new.
I follow you on twitter and like you on facebook, obviously, because you ROCK!

I would most likely try some appetizers first…headed into tailgating season! Love to entertain with friends! I am already a fan on Facebook and follow you on Twitter! Headed over to FB now, to share with friends! Thanks for the opportunity to explore a new cookbook…just what I need! 🙂 (Have 100s–but LOVE more!)
hi. thanks for the great giveaway. i would do a whole course meal with this book if i was the lucky ducky to win it however the first item baked would most definitely be that lovely choklit cake on the front cover *swoon* not that i'm a sugar fanatic or anything because i'm more of a meat and potatoes kinda girl but choklit every once in a while is my weakness. why would i like to win said giveaway you may be asking? it's because i so love atk and i know that i'd look ever so lovely leafin' through the cookbook and having a a mondo crush on chris and his bow ties doesn't hurt either. 🙂 but i digress, i follow you via email and google followers as well as fb and twitter. i even shared the link on fb and twitter. 🙂 thank you so much for this lovely opportunity!
