For the June book giveaway, I have an advance reading copy of:
"The Amateur Gourmet", by Adam D. Roberts (NY: Bantam Dell, 2007). It is a softcover from the shelves of our used bookstore, Old Saratoga Books, and is in Very Good condition (there's a light crease down spine from my own reading). This book is an interesting collection of culinary anecdotes and recipes by the former law student turned professional foodie and blogger. Be sure to check out Robert's blog, The Amateur Gourmet, to feast on his humorous writing and celebration of foods. While you are there you can peruse his post about his edible ode to Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl. You'll never look at a cupcake so innocently again after witnessing one sporting a nipple shield.
As always, to enter the book giveaway this month, just leave a comment below by midnight, June 30th and a winner will be randomly picked from the entries. Good luck to everyone!

I would definitely love to win this book! I would like to think I am an amateur gourmet, too! :)
Hi, Rachel. Hope you're feeling better. Was in Saratoga overnight and stopped at your wonderful bookstore on Saturday. I was so sorry to learn you were feeling under the weather and sorrier still that I didn't get to meet you. I did, however, get to pick up several delightful reads. I could have spent several hours browsing if I'd left Larry home. Maybe next trip!
:) I've seen his blog and read that post before - it was hilarious!
This sounds like a fun book. Thanks for the chance to win.

I always enjoy stories especially when they are a person changing careers, most notably going into culinary arts.
Hi! I just found your blog via the "Go ahead honey, it's gluten free" blogger event. Great recipes and beautiful insightful posts! It's a good thing I stopped by today or I would have missed your giveaway! YAY for good timing! :-)
