Secrets Don’t Make Friends, but Giveaways Do
I hate to keep secrets from you guys. But how does that saying go? “Why buy the charming, hilarious, almost finished meat-free memoir cookbook when you can have the recipes for free?” So in exchange for my relentless teasing, I have another giveaway for you. I’m just going to make you wait for it first while looking at pictures of recipes that I can’t give you.
Yesterday we hosted a birthday barbecue for Pea Daddy with his closest friends, their wives and kids. My responsibilities included prepping food for the masses, shoving everything into the playroom or garage and shutting the door and trying to stretch Day 3 of unwashed hair into a presentable party coif.
Pea Daddy’s job was to make sure the girls didn’t completely destroy the work I did. I hesitantly ran to the store to get a few last minute ingredients and when I got home, I noticed both girls were in completely different outfits.
Then I heard the most beautiful words that Pea Daddy has ever said to me: “I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT!” You had me at, “I don’t…,” honey.
Evidently there had been two potty training incidents, a water fight and a run in with a mud puddle. It was 95 degrees out yesterday, leading me to believe the mud was of the homemade variety. Pea Daddy continued with his sweet nothings, “How do you even take a shower? How do you blog every day? How did you write a book?!” He obviously doesn’t read the blog or else he would know that I put a minimal degree of effort into both hygiene and posts. As for the book, lucky for me, I had a backyard full of victims to test book recipes on.
Recipes like:
Better Than Ever Black Bean Burgers
Fire-Roasted Tomato Salsa and Yogi Guacamole (with organic white corn and Food Should Taste Good multigrain chips)
and Tropical Vegan Cupcakes
along with the usual suspects.
Everything went over fabulously (4th outfit of the day…),
and a good time was had by all.
I happened to notice yesterday, though, amongst all my decluttering, dusting and useless crap hiding, that I have A LOT of cookbooks.
“A lot” a lot.
I really would say that I only have a few favorites though, the kind whose bindings are broken down and who have splashes of soy sauce, lemon juice or Lord knows what else smudged on the pages. Some of my favorites are:
Eat, Drink & Be Vegan
by Dreena Burton
This was my first vegan cookbook, and you know what they say about your first (?). I haven’t made anything out of it that wasn’t delicious. I think everyone, vegan or not, should have a copy on their bookshelf (or baker’s rack…or kitchen counter…or nightstand). My favorite recipes from ED&BV are probably the “Chocolate in My Peanut Butter Cookies,” the “Sesame Tahini Dressing” and the “Sweet Potato Lentil Chili,” but really there are too many great recipes to pick favorites.
The Vegetarian Family Cookbook
by Nava Atlas
I love this book as a resource for nutrition, for kid-friendly ideas and as a great basic starting point for eating veg. All of the recipes have vegan options, so it’s really flexible and thus totally Pea family friendly. I’ve enjoyed the very adaptable “Basic Muffins, Seven Ways” and the “Eggless Tofu Quiche.” I need to venture into this book even more, though…in my free time.
Eating for Pregnancy
by Rose Ann Hudson and Catherine Jones
Though this is not a vegetarian cookbook and I’m not pregnant (nor do I intend to “try for a boy,” so don’t go there…), this is definitely one of the best cookbooks I’ve ever bought. Even though it is full of meat and dairy-based recipes, there is a special section for vegetarian pregnancies with several dozen vegetarian recipes. I used this book before I got pregnant, during my pregnancies and even now for it’s balanced approached to nutrition. Though there is no nutritional information for each recipe, because calorie counts aren’t really a concern for healthy babies and healthy families, there are little notes about “What’s in this for baby? What’s in this for me?” My favorite recipes pre-veg (and a few post) are the “Whole Wheat Popovers,” “Vegetarian Pad Thai” and “Southern Style Sweet Potato Casserole.” Overall, it’s just a very balanced and nutritious approached to eating and really gets rid of that diet mentality when venturing into motherhood.
Eating for Life
by Bill Phillips
Even though there may not be a single vegetarian or vegan recipe in this book, I couldn’t talk about my most-utilized cookbooks without mentioning it. Eating for Life goes hand-in-hand with the Body for Life program, but you certainly can do one without the other. There are great ideas for balanced breakfasts, lunches, dinners and desserts, and prior to going veg, I cooked out of this book constantly for it’s great ingredients, high protein meals and easy, easy recipes. Even now, I’m constantly adapting my favorites, like “Golden Pancakes” (an oatmeal, cottage cheese and egg white protein pancake), “BBQ Chicken Pita Pizzas” (which can be transformed with chickpeas), and “Mom’s Green Enchiladas” (which I makeover with lentils). There are dozens of great protein shake and protein pudding ideas too. It’s fantastic.
Would you like to win a free copy of one of my favorites? Or is there another cookbook that you are dying to add to that place on your kitchen counter between your toaster, its grimy leftover crumbs and your cutting board? (Pssst…you don’t get extra entries for saying Peas and Thank You: Healthy Family Meals in a Snap).
Snubbr.com is going to give one Peas and Thank You reader a brand new cookbook of his or her choice! (under $33, please, so no requests for a signed 1907 first edition Guide to Modern Cookery at $5,124)
Here’s how to enter:

Dreena Burtons work! I have read SO much about it/her here and her name has popped up in a few other places..I’d love to have a copy! Didn’t you want to change your name ro Breena Durton or something like that once?
LOL! I can’t believe your remember that! It was the highlight of my year when Dreena Facebook friended me and the highlight of my life when she left a Happy Birthday message on my wall.
..and I tweeted it. I have like SEVEN people who follow me…so LOOK OUT!!
i already like you mama
on facebook
and i want YOUR cookbook.
see how i did that?
I’d love the America’s Test Kitchen Baking Book.
I would love a copy of Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen as I’ve seen so many wonderful recipes from there replicated on numerous blogs!
Oh, and I have “liked” you on FB for a while now!
I like you too
and, other than your book, I would love one of Ani’s Raw cookbooks.
I want so many cookbooks.
-The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook: Great-Tasting Recipes That Keep You Lean
-Cooking Light Complete Cookbook: A Fresh New Way to Cook
-Biggest Loser Cookbook
-Skinny Italian
Just to name a few.
I’m eyeing Giada’s new book, Giada at Home — she’s my idol =]
I kid you not, I wrote a story about my girl-crush on Giada for the cookbook today. Love her!
I really do like you…even on FB
I would absolutely die of joy if I had Eat Drink and Be Vegan on my bookshelf!! Then I wouldn’t have to go to Barnes and Noble and flip through the pretty pages every week.
Also, I can’t frickin’ wait for your cookbook!!
The family vegetarin.
A little tip I got from a podcast: you can bring your fav cookbooks to kinkos & have it re-bound with spirals. Easily keeps your page open
I would love to own any and all cooks by Jamie Oliver! His ideas always look fresh and wonderful.
Er, cookbooks. Lol.
I like you on a boat, on a plane, on a train or in the rain!
(And on FB and Twitter too.)
I just saw your response above about Giada…The Boyfriend went to high school with her younger brother. One day after school the boys were at his house and she was there. She made them spaghetti. He says it was “just okay.” I told him that was because it was before she was a tv chef. I watch all of her shows and think that if I could one day have that kitchen over looking the beach in Malibu, I’d be a pretty happy girl.
I’ll miss you for the next two weeks when I’m in China again! Leaving tomorrow morning. Still trying to figure out mobile blogging. Blah.
Love those cookbook suggestions! Crazy as it is, of my 392 cookbooks, those three aren’t there! I know what someone’s adding to their Christmas list!!!
XOXO,
Erin
I’ve always wanted Eat, Drink and Be Vegan!
I always pick up Eat, Drink and Be Vegan cookbook. The recipes sound delicious, but I always put it back because I already have so many cookbooks collecting dust. I think this giveaway is a sign I need this cookbook!
Just became a fan on Facebook!
I would love a copy of eat, drink & be vegan. I’ve heard such amazing things about her recipes and think my fiance would enjoy some of them too, which makes it even better!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I would love Paula Deen’s Cookbook. She makes AMAZING dishes and I always have fun making recipes healthier.
I have “liked” you on facebook for a VERY long time.
i would love to win living raw food cookbook!
Eat, Drink & Be Vegan would be awesome to win
I would love to have just about any raw/vegan cookbook out there, because currently I have….none.
I also like you. Honestly.
I would love Eat, Drink, & Be Vegan. I am four months into eating vegan and still don’t own a single vegan cookbook. I guess it’s time to start my collection.
i want YOUR cookbook
but aside from that one, i’d really like ED&BV because i’ve heard SUCH good things about it. i’ve also been eyeing the moosewood restaurant cooking for health book at B&N a lot lately. anyways, i just sent a friend a few of your brownie and cookie recipes and the walnut frosting one too for dessert for my bridal shower. ill let you know what i think but im pretty excited 
Oh, and I was excited to find P&TY on Facebook. I have officially “liked” you.
just tweeted
i just “liked” you on FB…but you should know i’m very good at faking it (take that as you will)
fabulous list of books! i love your spin on why you like them. I own tons of books but I would like Veganomicon b/c I dont have it yet and “Everyone else does”.
facebook liked already of course
oof, is it totally kiss-ass to say that next on my cookbook wishlist is yours?
maybe so. in that case, i think a copy of “the raw food detox diet” would be nice to have, ’cause the idea of food combining tickles my fancy.
Tweeted!

I’ve just been living on my own for a year and I don’t own a single cookbook! I get all my recipes on the internet and from library books. I’d love to have “Eat, Drink & Be Vegan”. I also plan to get a copy of your book when it comes out.
Like you on Facebook…and have been torn for awhile for which cookbook to get first – Veganomicon; or Eat, Drink, and be Vegan. They both look so good!
I need another cookbook like a need another hole in my head – and that’s saying alot for someone who has 9 piercings in her ears. But I definitely want another cookbook. Right now I’m swooning over Heidi Swanson’s Super Natural Cooking.
Just did the twatting thing as well
I would be so intrigued to have the Eat Drink and Be Vegan as a part of my cookbook collection! I have a little one who is going to start solids soon, and eventually real people food, and I am so inspired by your blog to try to include much, much more fruits and veggies into my family’s diet!!!
Also – I do like you on facebook as well
The Vegetarian Family Cookbook sounds amazing….but i would surely love yours too! i like-ed you on facebook!
I would never have been that interested in the BFL cookbook without reading your description. I think I’ll have to check that out. I love Alton Brown, so I think I’d have to get I’m Just Here for the Food.
I have been eyeing the “Clean Food” cookbook for sooo long!
I’d actually really like to own Eat Drink and Be Vegan – I’ve only got 3 vegan cookboks atm, and that one looks super!
I would really love that Eating for Pregnancy book you listed there; I took a look at it and it looks fantastic. I just got married a month ago and my husband and I are planning to start trying for a baby in a few months. I know how important it is to eat well before and during pregnancy, so anything that helps me with that is great!
Oh, and I liked you on facebook a while ago to be sure I never miss a post!
I’d love to win a copy of one of Alicia Silverstone’s The Kind Diet… I’ve heard such great things about her vegan recipes!
I’m not entering for the give away but my favorite cookbook is the 5 Ingredient Vegetarian Cookbook by Nava Atlas. I’m one for keeping it simple. I love black bean burgers tho….so I might buy yours
I have quite a few of the same ones you do, but I think I really need Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan. Knowing how much you love it, I need to give it a whirl.
I would also love a copy of Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. I’ve heard so many great things about it!
Thanks for all the recs, BTW. I love hearing about vegan stuff you love!
Just Tweeted about your giveaway!
I would LOVE to own my very own copy of Eat Drink and Be Vegan! I’ve only heard great things about it and would really like to try to incorporate more vegan-friendly recipes into my life!
liked your blog on FB!
i tweeted! and i have a whopping ten people who follow me so be prepared for a HUGE viewer surge LOL!
I’d love Veganomicon. I’ve heard such great things about it.
i would love to get Veganomicon, ED&BV, or the clean eating cook book which looks awesome! i cant wait for your book! i am buying it as soon as it comes out!
Don’t you just love when your hubby actually admits that you are superwoman! I know men are capable of so many things, but being a super-mom was just not in the cards for them.
A valid reason why God only gave this ability to women! 
I love your cookbook selection. The one cookbook I’ve been wanting for awhile is the Clean Eating. I can’t stop drooling over the recipes from there.
I still don’t own Eat Drink and Be Vegan yet and all of the recipes i’ve made from blogs that come from or are inspired by this book are amazing! i would love to own this book!
i also tweeted about the giveaway
Oh I’ve seen that Eating for life. I bet its good!
Veganomicon is one I rent from the library over and over again!! So great!
Speaking of great I made your burger recipe with the yukon potatoes last night and they were fabulous!! I can not wait for your cookbook
I would love to find a true first edition of The Moosewood cookbook (which is more of a flimsy pamphlet than a book — and has some great controversy surrounding it); however, more recent books I would love would be an Every Day Food by Martha Stewart book, or the 2009 Cooking Light best recipes of the year — or something like that
I want to get ani phyo’s raw food essentials or ed&bv.
like on facebook
I’d love to try Eat Drink and Be Vegan. I’m a vegetarian who is transitioning to eating less dairy and eggs and I would love some new recipes to play with, especially ones for baking. I have also been eyeing the recipes from Clean Eating that are appearing on blogs everywhere, so good!
The Veg Family cookbook sounds good!
I would love a copy of eating for pregnancy.
I tweeted!
I’d like to own Raw Food, Real World! Also, I honestly really cannot wait until your book comes out.
I didn’t even know about your facebook page! Now, I like it. I would also like Veganomicon because all the cool kids have it and I am really into social pressure
i’d really like to have Eat Drink and Be Vegan or Veganomican or something like that…something that has vegan options in it
I have been wanting Eat Drink & Be Vegan for a long time; all of the recipes sound delicious!
I ‘liked’ you on Facebook – I really, really like you!
I would really love a cook book on vegan baking. I love to bake but hate having to constantly look up recipes online. Anyone have any recommendations? Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan is also one I would love to have, I really need a basic vegan cookbook.
I would love to own Eat Drink and Be Vegan.
Hi!
I have ‘liked’ you on FB for a while now!
I would love a copy of ‘Clean Food’ by Terry Walters.
I have been craving a copy of Veganomicon for like ever!
it would be awesome o add it to my little collection
I agree with you on EDBV – I cook nearly exclusively from that book. The Sweet Potato Chili is on the menu almost every week…and the Back to Basics Balsamic Vinegarette is our standard go to dressing.
The next cookbook I would like to own is Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar. Every Christmas I go home to see my family and bake cookies for them. My nephews always ask for cookies the minute they see me at the house. As I am the only vegan, I usually just make regular cookies for them. (I know, I know, please don’t revoke my vegan card…) Anyways, THIS year I am going to do it differently…VEGAN cookies for all! So I would love this cookbook so I can plan what I am going to make!
I liked this post on Facebook. No tweets, sorry…don’t have an account.
Thanks! Christine
Raw Food Kitchen I’ve been eyeing for ages now…thanks Mama Pea!
I would love to read Rick Bayless’ “Fiesta at Rick’s: Fabulous Food for Great Times with Friends” or ‘Ad Hoc at Home” by Thomas Keller. Although Sarma Melngailis looks bad ass drinking that smoothie on the cover of “Living Raw Food”…
I totally want Eat Drink and Be Vegan; I have been wanting it for years for the Super Charge Me Cookies Recipe…that I’ve been getting from websites I’m sure it’s not supposed to be posted on.
or can I ask for an advance on your cookbook? it better be under $33 woman, i’m not made of money.
you know i’m totally tweeting this. wanna tweet mine too?
…also tweeted! @poiseinparma
I have actually been wanting Eat Drink and Be Vegan for a while now. Though I’m not vegan, I am trying to work more vegan meals / snacks into my repertoire. I tweeted ya’! https://twitter.com/sweetersalt
Great giveaway! Is your book an option? If not, I would probably go for Viva Vegan since I love Latin food.
I would love to have the cookbook “Clean Food”. It looks like my type of book.
I’m also a fan on facebook!
I have the Kind Diet on my wish list.
I’ve skimmed through the Deceptively Delicious cookbook by Jessica Seinfeld a few times, and it always sounds so intriguing! I would probably go for that one.
I’d love to try the new Ani Phyo… and I am already a facebook fan
And I just tweeted!
I just tweeted about it, too!
I really want Clean Food!
I would love to own either Cleen Food or Eat Drink and Be Vegan!
I love your whole life approach to cooking, fitness and family!
Jeanna
Well I have Deceptively Delicious and love when my kids eat up the chick pea cookies and have NO idea. muhaa haa! Other than that I would love to have Eat, Drink and Be Vegan or Veganomicon. Obviously I would treasure your book….can’t wait:)
I would absolutely love to have The Kind Diet!! I’ve heard so many wonderful things about it, but still haven’t gotten around to find time to leaf through it at Borders.
any moosewood cookbook would do until yours comes out.
I think I would pick Ani’s new raw book, as I don’t have any other raw books in my little library. And I cannot wait for your book, of course!
I’d really like to check out Eat, Drink, & Be Vegan. I’ve been getting really frustrated with being Vegan lately and really need something to recommit myself. Can’t wait for your cookbook!
I “like” you on Facebook
tweeted!
I’ve been dying to get my hands on Clean Food! All of the cookbooks you mentioned look awesome too and of course I can’t wait until yours comes out!!
And I liked. Definitely wasn’t hard as no pretending was involved!
I would love to own Eat Drink and Be Vegan. I’ve been meaning to purchase it, but haven’t gotten around to it yet!
Have you seen the Clean Eating cookbook? It’s my absolute favorite!
I’d love to have ED&BV! I’ve only got a handful of cookbooks and being a broke/cheap college student I cant really afford expensive cookbooks from the store. It would be great to be able to have more recipes for dorm eats, I can’t live off of caf food for a whole semester!
Also.. I tweeted about this, like you guys on FB, and put a post about this on my blog
Congrats on the book!!! I must have missed your post(s) announcing this, and I have actually been wondering when you were going to publish a book!
I can’t wait to get it. You always have such cute posts & great recipes!
Jeez, so hard to choose which cookbook I’d want… I have so damn many, but I always want more! I have had my eye on “The Indian Vegan Kitchen” by Madhu Gadia for awhile…
Thanks for the giveaway!
I don’t have Eat Drink and Be Vegan and feel as though i need it
I “liked” you on FB
And I really do!
I would lurve this cookbook: Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World: 75 Dairy-Free Recipes for Cupcakes that Rule
I would love to own Eat Drink and Be Vegan…I’ve been hearing about it for over 2 years on food blogs but have never bought it. I would love to buy it and use it!
I “liked” you on Facebook already!
And I “like” you on facebook
Aaaand I tweeted the giveaway!
Also, I just realized that I didn’t say why I wanted that Indian book, which you instructed us to do.
I want it because I love Indian food but can never make it nearly as well as my favorite restaurant! I need an expert’s recipes.
I would love ED&BV – it’s the most frequently mentioned cookbook on the healthy blogs I read. Plus I need some new recipe inspiration. Thanks, Mama Pea!
ED&V is probably my favorite cookbook as well! Every recipe that I’d tried has been great. I can’t wait for Dreena’s next cookbook.
I’ve been wanting to buy veganomicon for quite some time. I’d love to win that one.
Eating for Life because I’ve heard fab things about it!
Definitely meant I’ve rather than I’d in the comment above, plus I tweeted!!
i’m not on facebook and don’t tweet, but I can’t wait to own your cookbook!! i’ve also been eyeing the vegan scoop and go dairy free for awhile now…
will be buying your book for sure
I liked peas and thank you on facebook! And, I really do like your blog a lot. It’s hilarious and I hope that I can be half the mother you are when I have children of my own!
I really want a copy of EDBV! I would love to win it through this giveaway!
Hi! I would love my own copy of Eat, Drink & Be Vegan… I’ve picked up a few of the most talked about vegan cookbooks, but I’ve yet to obtain this gem.
Thanks!
Wow! I would love “Eating for Pregnancy” I already have 2 daughters, and I am just about through the dreaded 1st trimester with number 3. And we are not “trying for a boy,” just praying for a healthy baby! Thank you!
I would love Eat Drink and Be Vegan or one of the Moosewood cookbooks!
I would love a copy of Eat, Drink & Be Vegan! I’ve been vegan for a year and have been using Veganomicon as my bible, however I see ED&BV recipes on blogs everywhere and I know that I have to have it!
I would be so excited to own either veganomicon or clean eating. ED and BV is my favorite cookbook!
I really want Eat, Drink, & Be Vegan. Fo’ real.
And I already like you on Facebook! Fo’ real.
Oh, and I tweeted about the giveaway as well. Now if I ever update my blog, perhaps I’ll link back…
I really want Veganamicon. I browsed it once at the book store after going vegetarian and now I “visit” it everytime I go to the store. I will buy it eventually but would love to win it.
I would love a vegan cookbook such as EDBV. I also am a fan on facebook! Love the blog.
I would love to have Eat Drink and Be Vegan. I’m making more of the meals at home lately (I got really lucky with a husband who loves to cook!) and I would love to have a vegan cookbook. You know, until yours is available.
Oh, and I liked you on FB a long time ago! No pretending.
I would love The complete Vegan Cookbook! I have been eating converting over to being a vegan for some time now and am in need of more recipes and ideas! Great giveaway!
I’d love to own Eat, Drink & Be Vegan – I’ve seen numerous recipes that just look divine
I already like you on Facebook
The cookbook that I would ♥ to have is EDBV (kinda like everyone else lol) I am in college and I love to cook (for myself/roomates) and this recipe book could help me encorporate and teach my room-mates how healthy AND tasty vegan eating is.
Tweeted about your giveaway!!
LIKE you on facebook!!
Oh my gosh I would love to win Eating for Pregnancy. I am currently trying to get pregnant again after a miscarriage and I spend so much time trying to create meals that are a healthy balance of everything.
PS I love your blog!!! Even though I’m not vegan nor vegetarian, you have helped me take a step back and make changes to eat cleaner and choose vegetarian options when I would previously choose chicken because I didn’t know about things like seitan (worst. name. ever.).
Thanks Robin! And I totally agree about seitan. I always make a conscious effort to say it like, “SAYYYYYYY-tawwwwn.”
The vegetarian family cookbook sounds perfect!!! Obviously because I am vegetarian and my husband is openminded about it, as long as the food tastes good!
Tweet, tweet!
I would love to have The Joy of Vegan Baking! Nothing makes me happier than baking up animal-free treats while I should be studying! I won’t lie…. I probably won’t use the recipes, but I’ll use them as inspiration to write my own.
Just so you know, I read your blog religiously! In fact, I happen to think it’s the greatest thing I’ve accidentally stumbled upon (while feverishly trying to find inspiration for vegan baking)…. I’ve been inspired to start my own blog but I just don’t know how right now. I just graduated and I’m in the process of applying to medical schools and studying for the MCAT. I even force other people to read it when I get the chance! Peas and Thank-you is usually the highlight of my day (though I’m not sure what that implies about my life…. I promised myself I’d have a life again after this whole application process is finished).
Happy Monday! Your family is beautiful and I don’t like judging but…. I think you are an excellent mother! So much like my own. =)
Thank you so much, Ramya! Good luck with your studying. You are so ambitious to be contemplating medical school!
I was just diagnosed with a ton of major food allergies and have now been totally vegan for three weeks. I would love your book! I have two kids and will be forcing my veganism upon them at least one meal a week!
And I “like” you on Facebook!
Annnd I’ve “liked” Peas and Thank You on FB for a long time now! ..not pretending, either!
I would like either Clean Food by Valerie Waters, or Eat Drink and Be Vegan!
Awesome giveaway!
I’d love to own Eat, Drink & Be Vegan because of all the delicious recipes I’ve seen bloggers make from it! I like that the recipes are on the healthier side, and seem simple too.
Hilary
I would also love ED&BV but as I mentioned in the post on my website, I’m most excited about your cookbook coming out. I think it tops my list of “Must Have Cookbooks” =)
I liked you on Facebook and I just tweeted you! I would love a copy of Eat, Drink & Be Vegan as well! I’ve seen it recommended in many places.
I think it’s fantastic that you can do giveaways like this! I really enjoy reading your blog posts (they really add a lot of color to my Google Reader) and make me smile frequently, not to mention give me great cooking ideas.
Out of your fav’s, Eat Drink and Be Vegan looks awesome. But I’d really love Clean Food. It looks amazing. But one book I can guarantee I’d actually make recipes from, is your cookbook. And no I’m not just sucking up, lol! I buy a lot of cookbooks that look awesome and then I never make anything from them, at least I’ve made (and enjoyed) some of yours.
Nice giveaway, thank you!
I have liked you on facebook
i tweeted! @cookveganlover
I would love the Eat, Drink, Be Vegan because I hear great things about it
I already liked on FB!
Ohh oops here’s my comment.. I know it’s not on your list of favorites but I really want my own copy of Deceptively Delicious!!
I would really like to own The Kind Diet. Also, I can’t wait until your cookbook comes out! I am not vegan, but your recipes add so much more variety to my meals. Oh, and they are delicious!
And finally, a tweet tweet is complete!
Blogging about it right now….post should be up tomorrow morning
i would love to win ‘veganomicon’, i’ve been eyeing it for a while!
i also tweeted =] @vegangator
i would love to try out eating for life!
The Kind Diet!!!
I don’t have a blog, but I am gonna tweet about it and I “liked” it on FB!
I would love the Eating for Pregnancy cookbook!
An Ani Phyo raw food cookbook or the Eat Clean cookbook!
I’m gonna wait for yours and get a signed copy. I expect Lulu to change into at least 3 outfits while you’re signing.
i would like to own Ani’s Raw Food kitchen cookbook! i’ve seen some amazing recipes by her and she seems like a wonderful person to get great nutrition and cooking tips from
I think I would enjoy The Vegetarian Family Cookbook. My sister recently gave me a copy of The Moosewood Cookbook as a gift and I’m loving it….. they seem pretty similar….
I’d love to try either of the first 2 on your list (ED&BV or the Veg Family Cookbook), but of course the one I really want is yours!!
I already ‘like’ you guys on FB…and I really do like you!!
i totally want the julia child cookbook just because i think its cool to say you own it. i don’t think i’ll ever do french cooking but having it would make me more likely right?
i tweeeeted
I would love a “Vegetarian Family Cookbook” for my vegetarian family! Like you, raising two little girls vegetarian feels so right and I would never do it any other way. Thanks for all your inspiration!
i like..scratch that LOVE mama pea on fbook and real life
haha thanks for the giveaway girl!
I’d love either a clean eating cookbook or Eat, drink & be vegan! (I’d also love your cookbook !!)
I would love Eat, Drink and be Vegan. It looks like it has tons of great recipes in it! (and it would be my first vegan cookbook!!)
Veganomicon or Eat, Drink and Be Vegan! I have slowly been transforming my diet from dairy-free to vegetarian and ultimately to vegan. I have been hesitant to make the full transformation until I have a stockpile of healthy, protein-packed vegan dinners on hand for busy nights. I think either cookbooks will give me that final push I need!
i have seriously wanted ED+BV ever since i started blogging. hand over the cash, and nobody gets hurt.
also, happy belated birthday to pea daddy!
love you MP!
I would love to try ED&V, I have heard such amazing things! I dont have twitter but on my way over to facebook now to send u love.
Such a tough choice but I think I’d use Eat, Drink and Be Vegan the most. Although, if I win I might change my mind to Raw Food/ Real World or Clean Food. Indecision is one of my strong points and there are so many great ones out there!
I would love to try The Vegetarian Family Cookbook. Thanks for the giveaway!
I tweeted about the giveaway : )
I would like to own Ani’s Raw Food kitchen cookbook also. I am trying to incorporate more Raw meals into my diet.
I “liked” your Facebook page! : )
I would love to own Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan because I know so many people use it, even those who aren’t vegan. I’m currently vegetarian, but am trying to switch over into some more vegan lifestyle. Thanks for always having a great blog!
I liked you on facebook!
I’d love to have Eat, Drink, and be Vegan! Sounds terrific…
I would definitely want the “Eat, Drink and Be Vegan” cookbook because I made the tahini dressing and it was amazing! Plus you are always saying how you love her recipes and none of your suggestions that I have tried have disappointed me so far! =)
I would love to own Eat, Drink & Be Vegan because I’ve rented all of the vegan/vegetarian cook books at my town library already but they don’t have this one. The only one I want
eat, drink and be vegan has been on my “must buy” list for way too long now!
How fun! I’d like a copy of The Vegan Table by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau – it’s been in my Amazon shopping cart for awhile now but I haven’t been able to justify the purchase of another cookbook. Each section is compirsed of menus PLUS each section is broken down by season – LOVE that idea.
Have a great week!
The Vegetarian Family Cookbook looks great! I’m pregnant with our first baby an I’m really wondering about how to create both kid-friendly & husband-friendly meals. I’ve also heard great things about Veganomicon. ED&BV was my first vegan cookbook too – can’t resist that beautiful cover! I love the Cocoa-Coconut Chili!
I would really love Eating for Pregnancy!!!!!!! I love that it tells you why it’s good for the baby and mom. Sounds awesome!!
Oh and I already like Peas and Thank You on FB!
Eating for Pregnancy looks great! I am not pregnant, but plan to start a family in the next year or so, and would love to have a resource like that.
I recently purchased Eat,Drink, Be Vegan and have loved everything I have made from it. I really am in need of a good Vegetarian Cook book. I’m thinking your favorite would be the place to start…The Family Vegetarian Cookbook.
and I like you on Facebook:)
I want Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. Right now I am baking all our bread the old fashioned way that takes hours. I want to see this new technique.:) I also liked you on FB. I just finished tweeting about your contest, too. I really want a new cookbook.;)
Eat Drink & Be Vegan looks awesome..I’m a vegetarian but I don’t have any Veggie/Vegan cookbooks!

eat, drink and be vegan would be great – its been on my amazon wish list forever!
thanks mama pea for holding this wonderful giveaway! I LOVE cookbooks and read them like novels but they can get pricey when you’re on a grad student budget. the cookbook i’ve been recently drooling over is Ani Phyo’s raw food essentials. i love how her recipes don’t require a lot of expensive equipment and are just simple and delish!
i hear that veganomicon is fantastic
i want ED&BV ….. i’ve had it on my amazon list (which includes about a gazillion other cookbooks) for about a year.

As you probably know, I am also a HUGE fan of ED&BV–so I’d love to own anything written by Dreena Burton. The woman is a genius, I tell you.

I am really intrigued by the Eating for Pregnancy cookbook…that’s still a few years off, but it seems like it would be handy to have around

I have been wanting ED and BV! Wish I could have been there for dinner! It looks great!
I like you on FB!
I would love to own The Vegan Lunchbox. Jennifer McCann was the first woman who’s blog I ever read and through that blog I learned so much about veganism – it was really my first exposure to the vegan lifestyle, and was obviously influential because here I am today, a very happy vegan! I’m not even sure if I want it for the recipes, it’s just so symbolic to me.
eating for prgnancy. either i felt a kick yesterday or i had wild gas…
My favorite would be Veganomicon, but I’d LOVE to try Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan!!

I’m torn between the ‘Nonna’s Italian Kitchen: Delicious Homestyle Vegan Cuisine’ title and ‘The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen’ title. I am also very excited about Isa Chandra’s Appetite for Reduction, but it isn’t out until December per Amazon.
I’d go for How to Cook Everything Vegetarian or Vegan with a Vengeance.
I already “like” you on facebook.
Eating for Life actually really interests me! Or Veganomicon.
When the Top Chef cookbook came out, I wanted it so badly. Have you cooked or adapted anything from that book? That particular book, or The Kind Diet would be first on my list.
I haven’t cooked out of it much, Heidi. It was a gift and appreciated more for the novelty as a fan of the show. It is really meat and dairy heavy, if that’s not your thing too…
I would love to have Eat Drink and be Vegan because I’ve heard so many great recipes from it and would love to have a copy of my own!
I posted about the giveaway on my blog!
I would love Eat Drink and Be Vegan, if only for the three recipes that you mentioned. Thank you for the giveaway!!

If I had to win one I would want the eat, drink, and be vegan. Not because I’m vegan, but b/c I’ve seen so many yummy recipes come out of it.

I have ED&BV and a bunch of other cookbooks . . . I think I’d really like Jae Steele’s “Ripe from around here.”
I like peas and thank you on facebook

Eat Drink and Be Vegan!!!

I am not really sure which vegan cookbook I would most like to have but I would like to have one since I am a new vegan. Maybe I can pick after I win!
I like you on facebook ;o)
I would absolutely love a copy of Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan!
I have been flirting with a vegan diet and borrowed a copy of this from the library about a month ago. I loved every single recipe in this book. I love how it took every day meat meals and made them meatless in creative ways I would have never dreamed of. It has helped me to think outside of the box when preparing meat free fare!

I would love to own the Vegetarian Family Cookbook. I’ve recently come into recovering (for REAL this time) from Anorexia, and as I’m a vegetarian, my family don’t really know how to cook for me. If I was able to whip up a delightful vegetarian meal for my whole family, and eat together, I can’t explain how that would make me feel!
Thank you!
Thanks to my rogue dietician best friend I have found this blog! I am now following on facebook, too.
Our family is venturing out into the unknown as we attempt to discover the cause behind our daughter’s distended belly and general gastrointestinal distress.
