Win an advance copy of The CSA Cookbook! (Three winners in all!)

My first book, The CSA Cookbook, is slated to release on February 16. (I shared a sneak peek of it recently!)

Can you believe it’s been one year in the making? Nope, neither can I, even though I feel like I’ve been saying It’s coming! It’s coming! for soooo long now. It’s exciting stuff, and I’ve been bowled over by all the kind comments and emails of encouragement from readers near and far.

Now, it’s really coming. And as a show of thanks for your immense support and incredible patience, I have three copies of my book to give away to three lucky winners this week!

The CSA Cookbook

These are advance copies from the publisher, and they’re special because there aren’t that many advance copies floating around. I have one, my editor has one, the marketing team has one… the rest are boxed up on a boat as I type this, making their way across the Pacific to the publisher’s warehouse.

That leaves just three copies remaining, and I want them to go to you. My hope is that you’ll enjoy the book, make a few recipes from it, and leave an honest review on Amazon (or your preferred book review site) when it releases.

Since the books will ship directly from the publisher, I won’t be able to personally sign them but I’ll include a signed bookplate, which you can adhere to the inside of your copy. And who knows, maybe I’ll see you at one of my book events this year for an in-person signing?!

If you’ve already preordered a book, you’re still welcome to enter. You can send a book to a loved one as a surprise!

This giveaway is open to all readers in all countries. Thanks for making my world go ’round.

The giveaway will end at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time on Friday, January 30, 2015. Three winners will be drawn at random and announced the following week. Good luck!

  2. I would love a gardening book from your perspective — all your tips, tricks, and advice! Your blog was part of the reason I became interested in gardening and started my first garden last year. 🙂

  6. Being a gardener myself, I would like to see a Garden to Table type book. How to grow it and what you can make with it.

  8. I absolutely love your blog and it has truly changed the way I cook! I would love to see a book that includes recipes, techniques (storing, cooking, preserving, etc.), and gardening tips and tricks!

  9. You are the only blog I follow and I know I chose a winner.
    Super happy that you are in PV too…..so am I and I can relate to your eco-system. Thanks for the gardening tips, recipes and hiking adventures too.
    Keep up the great work! You make us happy:)

  10. What a wonderful giveaway. I’m still so excited that you wrote a book, I can’t wait till it comes out.
    I’m already a follower on Instagram: littlemountainhaven
    As far as second book topic ideas, I’d have to see your CSA book to know how many recipes you included that use the ‘interesting parts’ of vegetables. I had no idea you could use things like carrots tops, radish pods, tomato leaves ..etc until after reading recipes of yours. I found it very interesting. I’d love to know more about the varieties you plant, heirlooms especially as I’m an obsessive seed collector. Your adventures are always so exciting too. Perhaps a mix of life adventures with ‘to go’ garden recipes and then heirloom recipes and recommendations?
    Thanks for the opportunity! Cheers & happy gardening to you (we ate winter carrots under the snow this week! Exciting!)

  11. Alright! I will be ordering your cookbook, and I’d love a free copy to gift. My suggestion for your next book? Well, I really like your blogs about fermenting – your ruby kraut recipe got me started, with fantastic results! I also love your travel writing. So maybe a book about your special take on different fermenting practices and favorite cooking styles from around the world, combined with travel to the places they originate?

  14. Awesome! Would love more books about gardening, or recipes from container gardening for urban areas.

  17. Congraulations on your first book! I am a garden nerd and especially enjoy your “demystifying” posts. I would like a gardening book that digs deep and explains why things work the way they do in the garden.

  18. Thank you for your impeccable style, this book should be as all else is from you … well … splendid!

  20. Gardening! I happen to be living in a similar climate in Arizona, so a book from you would be great.

  21. I would love a book that brings seasonal meal pairings (best options to make meals with CSA veggies) and the use of vegetables and flowers (when to plant and where to plant in your beds) to be your next book subject.

  23. I would have said a gardening book, however, the problem with that is that so many of your fans come from different areas in the world, therefore gardening is very different from varying places. For example, I am from Canada and I do not believe I could use the same gardening tricks as yours. A book on raising and keeping chickens would be fabulous. Raising chickens I believe would be pretty basic in any Country, you could also have different recipes using eggs! Eggs are important to have in our diet and it would be nice to know how to use them in different ways!

  24. Love the photography and your blog…even though I live in SW Ohio I still find so much I can apply and use in my garden and life. We are avid campers – how about healthy camping and road food for a next book?

  25. Congrats Linda! I would love a copy of your new book. Please write about gardening next.

  27. Congrats Linda, I’ve preordered your book and I look forward to receive it (and gift it to a loved one ;). For the next book, you could write about how do you manage to eat healthy while on the road!

  28. (There’s nothing like a good giveaway to get me to stop lurking…) I can’t believe your book is almost here! There are so many topics that you could write about considering all of your adventures. I agree with previous posters that an “on-the-road” cookbook would be a great idea. On the other hand, a Sierra Nevada guidebook could be just as fantastic! Maybe something that outlines your favorite hot springs or backcountry hikes. Whatever you end up writing about, I’m sure it’ll be awesome!

  29. Hi Linda, I look forward to reading your book! The next one could be about edible gardening.

  30. Congrats on the new book, first of all! I would love to see a cookbook on wild edibles also, if you’re into that. Gardening would be great too, with a section on foraging with the recipes would be even better!

  32. I love your style!!! But. I live in the north and my garden produces different things than yours…I would vote for another cookbook. Could you make one with super basic foods that all of America could have access to?

  37. I would like your next book to be about gardening. It’s not common to see people growing things like artichokes at home so I would like it to be about all the less common things you grow with tips included. Perhaps you could include chicken keeping.

  38. First, about the CSA cookbook – I’ve thought about joining a CSA but part of what has stopped me is the unpredictability of what you get. So, this book was so needed! I like Kelly’s idea about recipes from the road. What I would like to see are recipes easily prepared in a motel room equipped only with an underpowered microwave and a mini fridge. My husband and I love to stop at farmers markets when we travel – but if we buy anything – “then what?”
