I like this blog. And, I like my readers. (That’s you!) So, I thought I’d do
something special for you this Valentine’s Day.
Let me back up. Did you know I’ve been slaving away creating an updated, illustrated version of my now famous cookbook?
Well, I’m done. And to celebrate, I’m giving away THREE copies of the all-new, illustrated, color e-book version of How To Cook Like Your Grandmother. It’s my Valentine’s Day treat for you.
Packed full of mouth-wateringly attractive photos, step-by-step instructions for the cooking newbie or pro, and the scrumptious cooking wisdom of Grandma, this is by far the best collection of my recipes I’ve ever produced.
Can you tell I’m excited?
The new illustrated cookbook won’t be officially released until February 23rd, so the lucky winners will be getting a bona-fide sneak preview.
Each of the following actions is worth one entry:
1. Search through the archived recipes on this blog — more than a few of which made their way into the cookbook — pick your favorite, and write a comment on this post telling me what your favorite recipe is.
2. If you have a blog, spread the love! Write a post about this contest linking to this entry, then leave a link back to your post in the comments on this blog.
3. “Thumbs up” your favorite recipe on StumbleUpon, then leave a comment on this post telling me that you did so.
Could it be any easier? Three ways to enter = Three times likelier to win!
UPDATE: Winners have been selected!
Sorry if you didn’t hear about this in time, but I had to pull the trigger at midnight like I promised. Winners will be announced just as soon as I finish processing some technical details. Thanks to everyone for your interest.

I found you through your French Onion Soup, and have since RSS’ed your blog. Your food all looks amazing, but since I have to pick just one, I’m picking the one that brought you to me – the French Onion Soup – Yum!! Keep up the YUMMY work, Drew!! *smile*
I like the cheesey scalloped potatoes. Yum! I’m new to your blog and enjoying all the recipes. Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh my goodness. I just found out about your blog through cheeseslave. Your blog is awesome! I’ve bookmarked and will be linking it to my own blog as soon as I update it. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.
My favorite recipe that I’ve come across so far is the Deviled Eggs. I love deviled eggs and never realized they were that simple to make!
How to cook like your grandmother! What a great concept for a cookbook!
I know this is probably pitiful, but your egg salad recipe is my favorite. I had never considered putting mustard in it. It was so good that I ate egg salad for almost two weeks for lunch. There are so many more recipes that I want to try soon, including the apple cake. Yummy.
AND the onion rings – are the best! Made them with my own onions – very good!

OOOHHHHH I love how yummy your onion rings look! Neat that you have both a tempura and a beer battered. I will definitely have to try these! FINALLY, healthy homemade onion rings!
I just discovered your blog. I imagine I am going to be spending a lot of time searching through the recipes in the future. My favorite thus far is the pizza soup. I am going to have to try that with my kids. I also love the valentine heart meatloaves you just posted. I always make a special valentine’s day dinner for our family. These would be a great addition.
how to make steak fajitas i just love mexican
My favorite recipe would have to be your pork fried rice. I read and was inspired! I went out and bought all my favorite fried rice ingredients – but I didn’t want to waste time cooking the rice so I grabbed two bags of Uncle Bens white rice (the microwaveable kind) and used that instead – PERFECT consistency for fried rice!
I also thumbs upped that recipe
My favorite food blog is http://daynurserycacfp.blogspot.com/ – where I posted a link to your blog today!
OK, this may sound lame, because it’s your first picture on your favorite recipes, but YUM the bruschetta pizza looks AMAZING! I’m definatly gonna make this! I know “my people” would love it!
I’m PRETTY SURE my favorite recipe is how to make steak pizza because MY HUBBY and I LOVE LOVE LOVE STEAK PIZZA and buying it has become a) too expensive and b) we're both relatively picky about what we want so I'd rather make it myself.
You have debunked us of the myth that it's long, drawn out and complicated… THANK YOU, DREW!
I also THUMBS UPped the recipe on Stumble, but I'm not sure how to prove that I did… all I know is it's showing on my faves.
I've also blogged about you on my blog here: http://360.yahoo.com/gottwocuteboys.
Posted you to my Facebook profile as well. http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.cooklikeyourgrandmother.com%2F2009%2F02%2Fcookbook-giveaway.html#/profile.php?id=1344016025&ref=profile
Woo hoo! Hope I'm a wiener. I mean winner. Yep. That's what I meant!
TWICEKED POTATOES with Bacon and Cheese has to go down as the all-time best. Honestly…I could eat one for kunch every single day of my life. Awesome photos too.
Not sure what happened with my post, it’s supposed to say TWICE BAKED POTATOES, can you fix it?
The crock pot pork tenderloin recipe has me drooling. http://blog.cooklikeyourgrandmother.com/2008/12/how-to-make-crock-pot-pork-tenderloin.html
I’ve got to try this. Mine is always dry and I think the crock pot will alleviate some of the dryness.
Ahhh…the cobbler for last night’s dessert was groovy! Yum-yum! Other cobblers I have tried always have oats in them. I like this one because it was more cake-like.
*comes out of lurkdom* I’m gonna go with the chocolate truffle pie since Im a chocoholic and all, lol. I love it and i love this blog!
Baked Macaroni and cheese. I love the stuff.
Potatoes Au Gratin looks awesome. Because anything with potatoes, butter, and cream is more than okay in my book.
Thumbs-upped it.
Definitely the peach cobbler. I probably made it half a dozen times this summer, and passed it on to my family and friends.
Thumbs up-ed as well!
Call me old-fashioned or just plain pregnant with egg cravings, but the egg salad sandwich recipe looks amazing – can you just make me some and send it to me? Just Kidding…looks like my 8 yr old and I will be busy tomorrow!
The deviled eggs are my favorite b/c that was my Grandma’s standard bring along to church functions. I would love to make ones as good as hers.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Hmm, that is certainly a tough call… For taste(and myself!) I have to go with the Egg Salad you posted Freakin’ great for a snack or meal when I’m alone at the dorms. For when I’m home and with the one I love I make your Potato Au Gratin I love them and he does too, not to mention how handy it is to leave him left-overs, even he can handle reheating!(Kinda) I left him your step by step guide!
By-The-By, Consider both thumbs up-ed!
Potatoes Au Gratin would love to make them from somewhere that is not a BOX
Two (count ‘em) posts to the blog! I love your approach to cooking. “I’m not an expert, but I could be.” You’re fantastic.

I love the Tarte Tatin recipe. Before I found this website, I only had Tarte Tatin in France… Didn’t know where to find it, though now, I can find some right here in my kitchen. Love this blog!

Real comfort soup,so easy to follow the recipe, so wonderfull is the result.
