Cookbook Giveaway numero tres
UPDATE: The winner of “Simple Comforts” is… drumroll, please… Cathi! Cathi said ”The cover of this book reminds me of childhood winter lunches. Soup and grilled cheese was the best!” and her number was picked. Cathi, please e-mail your full name and shipping address to lindsey.nair@roanoke.com and I will send out your book next week. Happy Holidays! END UPDATE
The holiday has drawn one day nearer, and my thanks go out to those of you who are sticking with me, whether it be at work or at home, in the last days before Christmas. My gift to you is a chance at winning the third cookbook in our Countdown to Christmas: “Simple Comforts: 50 Heartwarming Recipes” from those geniuses at Sur la Table.
According to the press materials that came with this cute lil’ book, it was inspired by comfort foods. They define comfort foods as “the best things about childhood in edible form.” I can certainly agree that when I’m feeling down or ill, I am comforted by such childhood faves as grilled cheese sandwiches, potato soup, brown beans with cornbread or a steaming pot of chili.
Sur la Table has put a sophisticated twist on some of these favorites, which means you’ll find recipes like Stilton-stuffed burgers, beef and bean chili with chipotle cream and roasted pineapple sundaes. For a chance to win this belly-rumbler, simply leave a comment on this blog entry by 5 p.m. today.

Comfort food brings back memories of when mom made toasted cheese and tomato soup. Its all about the love!
Simple Comforts are always the best! We count on them when other things disappoint us.
Me please!
Just the cover of this book has me wanting a grilled cheese. Would love to see what else is in there!
Tomato soup and grilled cheese…the best comfort meal ever.
Oh, those comfort foods…mac and cheese, veggie soup and grilled cheese, potato soup and cornbread, I could go on and on. Anything hot on these cold winter days is comforting, isn’t it?
The grilled cheese on the cover made me so hungry. Yum!
This sounds wonderful! That picture on the front of the book is enough to sell me on its contents! Thanks for sticking with us, Lindsey!
Well, here I am once again, cookbook-less Dennis. If at first…
Mmm, I want to dunk that grilled cheese right in that bowl of tomato soup!! Yum!
If I win, I’d be “comfortable”.
Comfort food is right up my alley.
Simple comforts are the best! It is the little things that matter.
Looks scrumptious!
The cover of this book reminds me of childhood winter lunches. Soup and grilled cheese was the best!
Yumm….grilled cheese. Maybe this cookbook would help cure my addiction to Pop’s (in Grandin Village)
Mac and cheese would have to be at the top of my list…or a plate of my Mom’s spaghetti. Or, her corn pudding, which the relatives used to fight over at family get-togethers.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Lindsey, and thanks for keeping our spirits up and our stomachs filled throughout the year!
I’d love to have this one! Sounds great!
Oh Sweet Mother! There are few things that trump a great grilled cheese with creamy tomato soup!
Isn’t comfort food always better when someone else makes it? I’m hitting the road to my parents’ house after work today and ready to indulge in some comfort food…. like homemade cheese straws….Mmmmm
Third time a charm??
I really like soup, but comfort food is good too. The real requirement is for things that are quick and easy to fix.
I’m all about comfort food! Bring it on…
Pa-leaze pick me!!!!
Cold snowy days coming up+comfort food=Warm feeling!
Any book with a grilled cheese sandwich on the front must be awesome!
This cookbook sounds awesome…nothing like comfort food on a cold winter day!
Merry Christmas, Lindsey!
I’ve never made a home made tomato soup. Always have relied on Campbell’s. Sounds yummy!
Yup, it’s all about the comfort food–especially this time of year!
What a perfect book for the winter, when I always feel the need to indulge in warm and comforting foods.
Am I in time?
Congrats, Cathi!
