Fabulous Friday … Where Women Cook CELEBRATE!

We have a BIG reason to CELEBRATE!

Where Women Cook Celebrate is almost ready to hit the bookstores.

October 4th is the official date, but we’re offering TWO lucky blog readers

a chance to win this great book!

Here’s a description of this FABULOUS book (we’re awfully proud … Can’t you tell?):

We’re issuing a personal invitation into the kitchens (and beyond) of 28 top food bloggers and chefs.

Based on the Where Women Cook magazine, this unique book profiles 28 extraordinary women who share their passion for cooking and entertaining. Every meal they make and share is a celebration, and each photo-rich profile offers a peek into their cooking environment, favorite recipes (more than 60 of them), and tips on how to turn every moment festive, whether it’s a holiday party or a family dinner.

The women include: popular food blogger Molly Wizenberg of Orangette; bestselling author and blogger Angie Dudley of Bakerella; The Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond; Farm Chick Serena Thompson, Susan Branch and other popular food personalities.

Where Women Cook Celebrate is available for pre-purchase on AMAZON,

you can enter to win one of TWO copies by commenting below with

Who’s kitchen you’d most love to peek inside!

It can be ANYONE! We want to know!

HMMM.

I feel like you might need a BAG to carry your brand new book in …

HOW ABOUT A SWAG BAG?

THAT’S RIGHT!

TWO MORE TCC SWAG bags up for grabs!

These bags are AWESOME … FILLED to the brim with great swag! {Note: the WWC issue will be the current issue. Image courtesy of Sandra Evertson}

Oh … And how about a GREAT TCC T-shirt?

Wouldn’t you love one of these?

Of course you would!

SO that’s TWO WINNERS!

A copy of Where Women Cook Celebrate, a TCC SWAG bag and a T-shirt EACH!

I would love to spend the day in my Grandmothers kitchen. She has been gone a few years now and I regret that I never really got to cook with her as an equal. I never got the chance to be one of the “Women” in the kitchen during holiday dinners. You know how it is, when I was a kid I wasn’t interested and by the time I became an adult we were so busy that we just did things potluck style. Now that I am a grandmother I really wish I could have one day to be part of that circle. I do try to create it with my daughter in laws, Daughter and Granddaughter. Your cook book would be a fun way to jump start that tradition

How I would love to see a garden fresh kichen. From planting an organic garden, to picking and bringing the fresh produce to the kichen.

Then preparing the meal with all things fresh, right out of the garden. How wonderful and healthy.

I am in my 60′s and have recently had three surgeries on my right hand. This is my first experience in a cast. Yes, I am right handed. You never imagine all the things you cannot do in this situation..open Rx bottles, use your manual/right handed can opener, use hot rollers/curling iron, do your eyebrows and a manicure is a two hour project. Project, all my work is at a standstill. I need the new cookbook to read..almost all I can do for the next six weeks. And, I need the swag bag to carry things I normally have in my hands or arms. Last, It would be delightful to wear the beautiful shirt to remind myself that I will soon be creating again.

Would love to see The Fabulous Beekman Boys’ kitchen. Josh makes gourmet sandwiches a lot (they even raised their own pigs and smoked their own bacon) – watching them eat their 1st meal from their pigs made me cry!!! It was so touching the way they gave thanks and how we take so much for granted. Food and love make the world go around……

I so love Where Women Create! I’m the right person to gift that swag bag, of course. Love the blog articles too. It inspired me to create a blog of my own. I’m not much of a cook. My sister got that gene. I got the painting, journaling, photography genes that she didn’t get. It worked out great – she can feed me.
