"giveaways" news and stories

It's Tuesday, Slashfoodies, which means it's Day Two of our weeklong giveaway of The Ethnic Paris Cookbook.

We got our grubby little hands on five copies of brand-spanking-new cookbook The Ethnic Paris Cookbook and we're giving one away every day this week to a lucky Slashfood reader. Yep, the word is "lucky," because we're not asking you to do anything difficult, like bake us a seven-layer cake. All you have to do is say "oui!" in the comments. We'll pick the winner at random right before we start the next round. Heck, if you don't speak French, you don't even have to say "oui!" Just a hello is fine.

Good luck!

** The winner from the yesterday's giveaway is Lynda. Lynda, if you're reading, please check your email for a note from me so "Oui" can get the cookbook sent to you! **

Also, a few notes from our ever-so-loving legal department: 1) one entry per person (duplicates will be disqualified), and 2) all cookbooks will be sent to the lucky winners within 10 business days of the end of this Giveaway.

We hear Paris is great in the Springtime! Unfortunately, we're just a blog, so we can't give away a five-day trip to Paris, but we sure wish we could!

Instead, we have five, yes five, copies of The Ethnic Paris Cookbook to giveaway to five of our very deserving Slashfood readers.

The Ethnic Paris Cookbook is a new cookbook (so new, it was released on March 19!) by Charlotte Puckette, a Cordon Bleu trained chef, and Olivia Snaije that offers a tour through the exciting culinary landscape of Paris, covering recipes from regions as diverse as North Africa, Southeast Asia, Japan, and more, all with a Parisian twist. Special features include a guide to top ethnic restaurants, markets and shops in Paris.

We're giving away one copy every day this week. Just look out for the post each day at about noon, and all you have to do is leave a comment. We'll randomly pick a winner each night. So leave us a comment for the first copy!

** The winner from the previous giveaway of The Art of the Tart is Michelle. Michelle, if you're reading, please check your email for a note from me so we can get you your cookbook, you saucy little "tart," you! **

Also, a few notes from our ever-so-loving legal department: 1) one entry per person (duplicates will be disqualified), and 2) all cookbooks will be sent to the lucky winners within 10 business days of the end of this Giveaway.

Maybe it's the fact that St. Patrick's Day is coming up in a few days, or maybe we just feel lucky to have so many readers here at Slashfood. Last week, we had so much fun hearing from all of our readers, that we're doing the same thing this week by giving away a copy of The Art of the Tart:Savory and Sweet by Tamasin Day-Lewis to one lucky reader.

Last fall, Nicole mentioned the book as one in her Cookbook of the Day series and called it "the perfect book to illustrate the fact that tarts do not only have to be for dessert." You're telling me! Porcini Mushroom and Red Onion and Spinach and Anchovy Tart? If you win, you've got to make that!

So go ahead. Test your luck. Just leave a comment on this post. You have until midnight tonight!

** Last week's winner of The Weekend Chef is Amie. Amie, if you're reading, please check your email for a note from me so we can get you your cookbook and you get cooking.
