Giveaway: Happy Haulidays from Chronicle Books


Talk about a fantastic giveaway! I just learned that Chronicle Books is having a huge (and I mean HUGE) giveaway to celebrate the holiday season. I mean they are really going all out! Get a load of this:

Chronicle Books is giving away $500 worth of books to one blogger who posts a list of books that he/she wants to haul in. And, they are giving away that same set of books (that's right, $500 worth of books) to one person who comments on the winning blog. Winners will be announced on December 13th.

Needless to say, I was thrilled to learn about this contest and I immediately began searching their website to come up with books that appeal to me and my family. It wasn't easy because Chronicle has a huge amount of awesome books, but I think I've come up with a great assortment. I hope you will agree!

So, here we go:

Cookbooks

CAKE POPS

Summary: What's cuter than a cupcake? A cake pop, of course! Wildly popular blogger Bakerella (aka Angie Dudley) has turned cake pops into an international sensation! Cute little cakes on a stick from decorated balls to more ambitious shapes such as baby chicks, ice cream cones, and even cupcakes these adorable creations are the perfect alternative to cake at any party or get-together. Martha Stewart loved the cupcake pops so much she had Bakerella appear on her show to demonstrate making them. Now Angie makes it easy and fun to recreate these amazing treats right at home with clear step-by-step instructions and photos of more than 40 featured projects, as well as clever tips for presentation, decorating, dipping, coloring and melting chocolate, and much more.

From Brioche au Chocolat and Lemon Raspberry Cake to perfect croissants, Flour Bakery-owner Joanne Chang's repertoire of baked goods is deep and satisfying. While at Harvard she discovered that nothing made her happier than baking cookies – leading her on a path that eventually resulted in a sticky bun triumph over Bobby Flay on the Food Network's Throwdown.

To Chad, bread is the foundation of a meal, the center of daily life, and each loaf tells the story of the baker who shaped it. He developed his unique bread over two decades of apprenticeship with the finest artisan bakers in France and the United States, as well as experimentation in his own ovens. Readers will be astonished at how elemental it is. A hundred photographs from years of testing, teaching, and recipe development provide step-by-step inspiration, while additional recipes provide inspiration for using up every delicious morsel.

I love this list, as it has something for everyone! My BF would love the Star Wars books too! Good luck!
