MEATLESS cookbook giveaway

i recently asked shira bocar, a friend and food editor at martha stewart, if she could recommend a cookbook similar to everyday food, great food fast– the cookbook i’ve used most over the years. coincidentally, a beautiful new book she put together, along with her colleagues at martha stewart, has just come out: meatless. while i’m not vegetarian, i have naturally been mostly-vegetarian all my life. the cookbook is big, with over 200 recipes. it’s a really fantastic cook book and i’m happy to be giving away two copies!

to enter, leave a comment (and enter your email address) below. winners will be chosen on monday evening.

the bottom two images are snapshots shira took during the making of the meatless–– one of photographs tacked up during a photo shoot, and the other of her favorite recipe from the book, the orzo salad with roasted carrots and dill (pg 282).

  12. thanks so much for this giveaway! i would be so thrilled to have this cookbook . my new year’s resolution is to cook more and i am really inspired just looking at these photos.

  14. Exactly the kind of book I’m looking for as I move to cooking more at home! Thanks for the review.

  25. Oooo I would love to be the proud owner of one of these cookbooks – Martha recipes are some of my favorites!
    Thanks for sharing Lena.

  31. This I could not pass. A challenge also for this year to cook new things and meet more friends around the same table.

    Also I thought first that it is a book made by you by looking the pictures.

  33. this book looks so good and i really like the title! i’m also mostly but not strictly veggie.

  34. I’ve been a fan of Martha Stewart since I was a little girl. Martha Stewart Living was the show that really inspired me to do crafts at a young age, and also to start cooking even before the Food Network. It makes me super happy to still see MSL books, and this new one looks really great. Your friend Shira and her team are so talented. :•)

  37. Oh yum. Would love to receive this cookbook. Looks divine. We are always interested in discovering new ways to prepare and cook veggies. Thank you!!

  40. My boyfriend and I are vegetarian and in a dinner rut. This is JUST what we need! What a wonderful and perfectly timed giveaway 🙂

  42. I hardly buy anything for myself. I cannot seem to do it. It’s like a chronic condition that, while you still wish to purchase those special things you find, makes you look for someone you love to gift it to.
    Your Printing by Hand book is one of the very few items (together they don’t make an handful) that I awarded myself with.
    Although I would love to have this one, I would instead offer it to my amazing friend Pami. She is a super woman (the strongest I’ve seen) and a brilliant self taught baker and chef. While she runs the organic baker in a small eco-village for handicapped people, her partner makes cosmetics and grows odd looking plants in the dark of the icelandic days. They are my most authentic, open, generous friends and I am so so thankful for having them in my life.

  44. Living deep in the heart of BBQ country it’s hard to go ‘meatless’ but we really do try!

  51. New Year and in need of new inspiration. This looks great! Thanks for offering up a chance to own it.

  52. both my husband and i are vegetarians and we would just love to have a copy of this book. thanks for the contest!

  62. I’ve been mostly vegetarian for over twenty years and a surprising number of my standby dishes come from Martha Stewart. I’d love to add this book on my shelf.

  63. ok, i’m a lifetime vegetarian who struggles constantly to come up with new dinner ideas – so i am definitely throwing my hat in on this contest. thanks lena!

  64. Oh how very nice! I first assumed as well that it was a new book from you!
    I don’t know if its because its the beginning of a new year, but I have been looking for new recipes the last couple of days, particular vegetable ones. This book looks like it would be just the right one to provide what I am looking for. Thanks for the give away! Have a nice weekend. We are getting lots of snow at the moment here in the south of the England.
