The Cook’s Illustrated Cookbook (autographed copy) Giveaway
Over the summer, I found out that America’s Test Kitchen is located right down the road from where I live. It’s literally less than a 10 minute walk from my house. I had no idea. But since then, I’ve been building a relationship with the folks down there and I’ve even got a good friend (Megan) who works there!

A few weeks before the holiday season hit, ATK hosted a private reception at the Test Kitchen to celebrate the launch of The Cook’s Illustrated Cookbook. I had a great time at the reception. You can check out the photos from the reception on the ATK Facebook page. As part of the goodie bag at the end of the night, we all got to bring home a copy of The Cook’s Illustrated Cookbook which had been autographed by none other than Christopher Kimball himself!
Because my cookbook collection is out.of.control on top of the fact that I have about five other Cook’s Illustrated cookbooks, I’ve decided to pass this copy along to one of you!

Thank you for a lovely and informative round-up! With the number of entries, I think we have successfully raised awareness regarding breast cancer.
Thanks for the lovely round up and all the information given about breast cancer.
Wonderful roundup..lovely entries, very informative about breast cancer..
Thanks for the great roundup. What a great event…thanks for allowing me to participate. I hope we have helped to make other more aware!
Awesome roundup. Iam very happy to be part of this event. Thanks a lot for the event and info on breast cancer and everything. Three cheers to your energy dear.
Thank you!
This is such an informative and a beautiful array of culinary beauties! You have put so much effort into this for such an imperative cause!
Fabulous roundup–and so glad I could be part of it! Everything looks amazingly scrumptious and I can’t wait to try some of these recipes! (Maybe I missed something, but didn’t the event say make “anything” pink? Or did it have to be baked goods? I’m guessing there must be SOME other pink foods out there. . . ?!!). Well, more dessert for me!
Thanks for hosting this! 🙂
Awesome roundup! I love that it had such a diverse group of bloggers. Great personal touch with the facts and myths. Thanks for hosting! I hope you make it an annual event 🙂

The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) program is dedicated to increasing awareness about the importance of the early detection of breast cancer through a nationwide campaign. A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. Mammograms are the best method to detect breast cancer early when it is easier to treat and before it is big enough to feel or cause symptoms. Having regular mammograms can lower the risk of dying from breast cancer.
