Friends!
It's that magical time of the year... when I do my annual holiday cookbooklette giveaway! Every holiday season, I make a little homemade zine featuring some of my favorite recipes from that year. (Here is a link with instructions on how to make your own) Every year, I give these to my family, my friends, my yoga students, AND 30 lucky bloggie winners! This contest is open to everyone all around the world (except people who forget to leave an email or blog contact in their comment!)
This year's excellent edition is called Yum Town,
and that is where you will be headed if you win a copy!
Also! This year, the zine features a brand new recipe from yours truly, which I am very proud of: Spiced Fig & Marmalade Cookies
Most of the recipes in the cookbooklette are not actually mine, they're recipes from other people's cookbooks that I've fallen in love with. But, this cookie recipe is one I came up with - based on the flavors of one of my favorite Italian desserts called panforte. I took the spices and flavors of panforte, and put them into this delicious cookie. Let me know if you make them, and if you like them! :) I'm so proud of my recipe baby!
Here's the recipe ~ straight from the cookbooklette, so you get a sneak preview!
So, to enter - leave a comment on this post, and make sure to leave an email address if I can't contact you through your blog. I'll pick the winners one week from today, on Wednesday December 19th. Good luck!
Oh boy --- we are SO making these cookies!
ReplyDeleteHooray! Consider my last comment on one of your old zine giveaways a trial run. I should have it down perfectly by now! ;)
ReplyDeleteI received a zine of yours waaaaay back when the Vegan Freaks board was still popular, and you offered them there. I didn't even know your wonderful blog back then, but I totally fell in love with all of your adorable drawings and favorite recipes. Crossing my fingers I win again!
Your cookies sound so delicious and perfectly seasonal!
Oh! I'd love one!
ReplyDeleteThose look great!
ReplyDeleteyour cookies are darling and beautiful and sounds irresistibly yum town. if i can, i will try to xgfxercise them for you, if you want! it shouldn't be hard, since they don't call for too much flour.
ReplyDeletelove you amey!

Oooh I want to go to Yum Town!! These are so cute. I always love your drawings- you're so talented. I've got to make the recipe you posted too, especially as nobody eats marmalade in my house but we always have jars of the stuff for some reason...much better in cookies I think :)
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of panforte so my taste buds are ready for these cookies. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I have been following your blog for a couple of years and because of your enthusiasm we have been eating more vegan meals. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteSpiced Fig & Marmalade Cookies sound wonderful, I would love to win a copy!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea; love to make a zine for my non-vegan friends (if they can be called friends!) because they seem to like the vegan food they eat. Love to get Yum Town as well; thanks for the chance! (cbcdogs at yahoo)
ReplyDeleteYAY! I love when you do this each Christmas!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness what a great idea! this is adorable. I don't just want this for the amazing recipes, but i want to see all those adorable doodles!

I made these tasty cookies this morning and they are yummy!
ReplyDeleteI feel so greedy entering to win Yum Town because I already won one of your cookbooklette a few years ago! It was the Gastronomus Maximus, and it was awesome! The drawings were my favorite part!
ReplyDeleteThe spiced cookies look so good! I have never had panforte, but the flavors sound wonderful. And a whole teaspoon of almond extract - that's my kind of cookie recipe!
Eeeeek I would love to win this! It's super adorable!
ReplyDeleteI want one! I was inspired to make my own tiny cookbooklette, but I'm no illustrator, so it's mostly just nice type and hand drawn hearts and my favorite creations from this Winter. I can't wait to make your cookies, they sound amazing :)
ReplyDeleteI would love this!!
ReplyDeleteJust ate two of these cookies for breakfast! I made a batch yesterday and did put some in the freezer for later munching. I would be happy to receive your booklet.

Aww, I want to take a trip to Yum Town!!!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I have one of your cookbooklette from a few years ago. Has it already been that long? :-)
ReplyDeleteSo many of my favorite flavors in one cookie! Figs, pistachios, cinnamon and orange marmalade. You are a genius!
ReplyDeleteI'm scraping in at the last minute! I love your cookbooklette idea and I'm doing a similar thing for my parents this year- handwriting out my favourite recipes from the year to give them in a cute recipe tin. There are too many to choose from this year, my hand hurts already!
ReplyDeleteYour cookies sound great too, I love figs and pistachios together. I think I know what to do with the homemade marmalade I've got left over from Christmas gifts this year!
My blog contact form is kind of glitchy sometimes, so just in case, my email address is erinkategoddard@gmail.com.

ReplyDeleteSo awesome you are doing this again! I love your new cookie recipe. I bet it is as fantastic as the DiSaronno cookie recipe. (I am still dreaming about that one. I need to make those cookies again.)
