Wow, Rachel. THANK YOU so much! I just have fun wandering around your website and blogs. Nothing more fun than food and books! I never expected to actually win something. How cool is that?!!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
Plus, I have lots of broccoli from my CSA share this week, so your stir-fried shoots with chili-garlic sauce is on my list of recipes for this week.
Again, thanks for the book and the nice comments. Yeah!
In good health,
Melissa
That sauce sounds so simple but tasty! I'd love to win this book.
Always enjoy your recipes- keeps our meals from getting too stuck in a rut. Definitely would love to win a new cook book.
thanks!!
I'd love to win a copy.
I was drawing a complete blank on what to cook tonight.This sauce would be perfect to have for over some potatoes with some grilled chicken, yummmmmm...
If any of the other recipes found in this book are as yummy sounding as the one printed, count me in! I love adding cookbooks to my shelves.
Many Blessings,

Is the spanish paprika the same as smoked paprika,rather than sweet paprika?.
Can you use ground Cumin rather than the seeds?
Please enter me in the contest as well.

Hi Anonymous:
The cookbook simply states Spanish paprika, so I would imagine that it is regular old paprika rather than the smoked variety. I would also think ground cumin would be a fine substitute for cumin seeds, although I did buy some cumin seeds for an Indian recipe and they are delightfully crunchy and pop in your mouth with cumin taste so you may want to acquire some in the future for kitchen experimentation.
Bon Appetit!
That recipe sounds good! I'd love to see the rest of the book. Thanks for the chance to win!
Canary Islands Mojo Sauce sounds so good!

I am a new cook and love experimenting with everything.
I can't believe that I just now found your website, it's great! (I need to *virtually* get out more). I thought that I'd comment here since I'm oogling your cookbook, but you mojo sauce looks so tasty that it's coming home with me for dinner :) thanks for the recipe! I will (one of these days) get to canning some of my veggies, and I'll be sure to read your wax bean recipe again. Great blog!
This book looks absolutely wonderful!! I love spicy food but don't have a cookbook for that type of food. I usually get recipes from family and friends. I must say, I love your header as well. It makes me drool. lol. I love peans. Delicious. Thanks for the chance!
gluten-free AND spicy? sounds terrific! thanks for writing your blog.

Hi Rachel,
I just returned from another week in the backcountry (I'm hiking the Colorado Trail from Denver to Durango) and found your wonderful gift awaiting me. Thank you so much! "Summer Food" looks to be a wonderful collection of recipes! You're so sweet to send me the book. I love your website, with or without the bonus of a cookbook give-a-way!
Thanks again and best regards,
