CONTEST CLOSED. CONGRATS TO #76 @SPIFFYCOOKIE!
The kind folks over at Harvard Common Press has donated a free set of the Baker's Filed Guide by Dede Wilson. Four books total including: bakers' field guide to chocolate chip cookies, baker's field guide to holiday candy & confections, baker's field guide to cupcakes (my favorite), and baker's field guide to christmas cookies. I was over the moon thrilled to do this giveaway as this are some of the best cookbooks I've come across in a while. Very detailed, very easy to follow and the size of the book is handy for in the kitchen--nothing big and bulky.
click me for details
Each book is set up in a unique, practical, and engaging “field guide” format that gives home bakers the lowdown on every little, delicious detail of each creation, making the baking process fun—like it should be!—for adults and kids alike. Whimsical creations come to life through each recipe’s breakdown, complemented by vibrant four-color photography that makes mouths water even before the first aromatic
whiff of fresh cookies seeps out through the oven door.
And nobody makes a better “field guide” than Dede Wilson, a contributing editor for Bon Appétit. She has written over a dozen baking books and continues to receive national recognition for her creations and baking innovations. Her baking prowess and her wit shine in these well-loved Baker’s Field Guides, now available for the first time in paperback (and at lower prices), making them more accessible and userfriendly
than ever before! All four guides—Cupcakes, Holiday Candy & Confections, Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Christmas Cookies—promise festive, fun treats for the whole family.
Dede Wilson has written over a dozen books, including Christmas Cooking for Dummies, Appetizers for Dummies, and The Wedding Cake Book. She is a contributing editor to Bon Appétit, for which she writes articles as well as makes frequent television appearances on NBC's TODAY and Dr. Oz, among other shows. She lives in Amherst, Massachusetts.
I'm partial to the cupcake cookbook. It has a huge variety of cupcakes as well as frostings. This one recipe is bookmarked.
Can you see all the tips they give for each recipe? I love that. Brilliant idea.
To win ALL four cookbooks, all you have to do is leave a comment here telling me which book you would open first. Which one is calling to you. Is it the cupcake, the chocolate chip, the holiday candy & confections, or the christmas cookie?
I will do the drawing on November 6, 2011.
PLEASE ONE ENTRY PER PERSON.
MULTIPLE ENTRIES WILL GET VOTED OFF THE ISLAND.

Definitely the chocolate chip! I am always on the search for the perfect chocolate chip cookie!
ReplyDeleteAck! Can I open them all at once?? I supposed I'd go with Holiday Candy and Confections...just to step out of my comfort zone. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI would head straight for the Christmas cookie book. I love to make cookies around the holidays and I am always looking for new ones.

Definitely the chocolate chip cookie book! I am always on the hunt for the perfect chocolate chip cookie!
ReplyDeleteChristmas cookies!!!! I totally want to host another cookie exchange this year
ReplyDeleteI would probably open the christmas cookie book first. I spend almost the whole month of December last year making cookies and I loved every minute of it.
ReplyDeletejinxy112 at gmail dot com
Oooh cupcakes, I LOVE cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteCandy and confections first I think
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm the first to comment!
ReplyDeleteI guess either the Christmas Cookie book (since I'm already planning on what to make for Christmas) or the Chocolate chip because you can't go wrong with brown sugar, butter & chocolate :)
I would definitely head straight to the chocolate chip book - my life has been weirdly lacking in chocolate lately...
ReplyDeletemost likely the Holiday Candy one! trying to plan what to make for my kid's teachers for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI just love to make Christmas cookies AND fudge. Which one will I open first. While I decide which of those to go with I will look at the cupcakes which are a favorite of my little adopted Grand-kids :^)
ReplyDeleteTough decision, but I do believe I hear the Holiday Candy and Confections beckoning me :)
ReplyDeleteI was going to say straight to the cupcakes! (because I have a weird obsession with them) but then I realized, in the spirit of expanding my repertoire - christmas cookie! (since I dont have a holiday themed book)
ReplyDeleteThanks for filling my life with your beautiful pictures and recipes! I'm heading home this weekend to make the cake filled pb cups for my brother's birthday :)
Definitely cupcakes - love looking at different ways to decorate and present them. I am addicted to frosting cupcakes : ) It's too fun!
ReplyDeleteProbably the chocolate chip cookie guide, those are still my all time favorite cookie and I'm always trying different recipes to find the perfect one.
ReplyDeletechristmas cookies!!!!!
ReplyDeleteChristmas cookie because I can't help but be attracted to everything Christmas.
ReplyDeleteoOo the chocolate chip cookie guide would def have my heart!! they are my weakness and i love every kind :) the cupcake book definitely gets a close second though!
ReplyDeleteCandy and Confections. I make a huge assortment of homemade candies and chocolates to give out every year and I'm always looking for more recipes to add to my repertoire. It's fun to see people's reactions when you present them with a box of homemade chocolates, plus, it gives me an excuse to take it easy on the yoga and splurge on candy once a year.
ReplyDeleteI would love to get into the Holiday candies and confections.
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate chip book definitely caught my eye- all of the bars and cookies on the cover just look so delicious! I would love to create some of my own from those recipes!
ReplyDeleteI would open the Christmas cookie book, we need some new recipes in this family!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a hard call to make, but I would probably open the Holiday Candy and Confections book first to look for Christmas gift ideas.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... tough one. Since Christmas is coming, and since I love to give homemade gifts to people, I'd probably go with the Holiday Candy and Confections for new and fun ideas.
ReplyDeleteCupcakes! I love them and love decorating them!
ReplyDeleteChocolate chip cookie. DONE.
ReplyDeletePlease pick me?
I would open the xmas cookie book because it's that time of year, but I would probably give the set to my daughter who has just discovered baking while away at college and I want to encourage her.
ReplyDeleteMe want cookies...me read chocolate chip cookies book first!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, what a decision! I'm torn between the cupcake one and the Christmas cookie one. I guess the Christmas cookie book has a slight edge with the holidays creeping up on us! What a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThis is a toughy with so many delights to choose from. I would probably go with cookie one. It's the one time out of the year that my family is all together. I lost my father 2 years ago to cancer and my brother is in Iraq. Christmas has been slow but I think if I spoil everyone with a little Christmas cheer to bring their spirits bright then it would make everyone easier to cope with the holiday while our loved ones are gone. My brother hopefully will be home in time for Christmas but if not I would have to say I would make cookies and other sweets to send to the soldiers deployed. Our family is having a hard time this year and I think that if I bring Christmas Cheer this year for everyone to have a little piece of heaven, it will make everyone smile. Our family right now facing the hard times the Christmas Cookies will be memories of happier times when we were all together. I know too that my niece, nephews and my children are now all old enough to help me in the kitchen. It will help them to smile since Grandpa is in Heaven and my nephew's father is in Iraq. It's been hard for him not seeing his dad. I feel like I am the mother hen to all the kids to distract them from all the family hardships. I know that these books, recipes especially those for Christmas will help them to cope. We have baked together before but I think something new and some new ideas will be very fun! Thank you for doing this giveaway, and if I win, I will definitely appreciate it and share with everyone each and every experience.
ReplyDeleteWarmest Regards,
Annamaria
Without a doubt ... it would be the chocolate chip cookie book. Nothing beats a warm chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven
ReplyDeleteI would go for Christmas cookies... but I am just a Christmas nut.
ReplyDeleteAll of them look pretty awesome.
I would open the cupcake cone first, but the chocolate chip one would definitely be opened before I could sleep.
ReplyDeleteI love to do holiday baking so I think the christmas cookie book would be the one I'd dive into first!
ReplyDeleteCUPCAKE!!! I have an unhealthy obsession with cupcakes. I love to make them. I love to eat them. I love to ooh and aah over incredibly talented cupcake creators! (Not to mention when I saw the page highlighting the champagne cupcake, my face lit up!)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great blog!
The cupcake book..totally!!!
ReplyDeleteUmmm easy. Cupcakes. They are my favorite baked good, after all!
ReplyDeleteChocolate Chip Cookies! These look fun.
ReplyDeleteI would reach for the cupcake one first!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the Candy & Confections as I'm always making goodies to give away at the holidays. Thanks for all the lovely recipes and pictures you post and for the giveaways. Always looking forward to opening your emails.
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas cookies of course! There is almost nothing I love more than baking cookies on Christmas in the wintertime.
ReplyDeleteHoliday candy! I would love to be "that mom" who makes candy at Christmas!!!

holiday candy and confections! but they all look great!
ReplyDeleteChocolate Chip. I always say that I want to do a side by side taste test with all the different recipes I use.
ReplyDeleteThey all look good, but I would have to say i would open the candy and confections cookbook first. I have made the matza crack and i have also made buttercrunch candy....but....i would really love to try making my ultimate favorite candy....the peppermint patty with dark chocolate....i need to master the art of dipping the patty into the chocolate.
ReplyDeleteIt would definitely be the chocolate chip cookie one. I'd love to see all the different twists on a classic recipe.
ReplyDeleteCupcake!!! I'm in culinary school now and will be opening the first cupcake only shop in my hometown.
ReplyDeleteChristmas Cookies! It's time to start baking. :)
ReplyDeleteIt would be a tough one but at this time of year it would probably be the holiday cookie book because my annual cookie exchange is coming up!
ReplyDeletehmmm, probably candy and confections, b/c that's something i don't do a lot of!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely open the chocolate chip cookie one first!
ReplyDeleteI would have to open the holiday candy and confections book first, so that I could make some thing gooey for my grand children.
ReplyDeleteI'm ALL about the Chocolate Chip Cookie book! Mmmmmm.
ReplyDeletethe candy one. definitely the candy one
ReplyDeleteI would definitely open up the cupcake book...I LOVE cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteI would open the cupcake one for sure :)

ReplyDeletersgrandinetti@yahoo(DOT)com
cupcakkkeesssssss
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous books!
ReplyDeleteSince I am already comfortable making cookies and cupcakes and tend toward things that I would like to become better at it would be the Holiday Candy and Confections.
The christmas cookie!!
ReplyDeleteholiday candy and confections!!
ReplyDeleteOh oh! I've wanted bakers field guides forever, this is awesome! I'd go for the Chocolate Chip first, because how can you not start with a classic?
ReplyDeleteIt won't let me login with google so my e-mail is judithavory at gmail dot com.
Definitely the Christmas Cookie book. Our newspaper puts together driving routes to see the best Christmas lights. Readers send money (not really bids) to drive around with the columnist who does the routes, with the money going to a local food bank. The people winning the drives also get a pound and a half of my Christmas cookies. Maybe I'd also add some Holiday Candy and Confections.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the Christmas cookie book!
ReplyDeleteHoliday candy! Make for great gifts :)
ReplyDeleteI would probably OPEN the chocolate chip book first, but it's almost time to start getting my xmas cookies in the freezer so I'd probably USE that one first. Unless I found a great chocolate chip cookie recipe to make for the xmas trays...:)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the Holiday Candy cookbook. I can't wait to make fun treats soon!
ReplyDeleteHoliday cookies! :) Perfect time of year to pick up some new favorites :)
ReplyDeleteHands down I would open the Holiday Cookies. I love Holiday baking!
ReplyDeleteI've found what I consider to be the PERFECT chocolate chip cookie recipe - so I'd definitely open up the chocolate chip cookie book and see how mine stacks up! :) Maybe I could improve on perfect...
ReplyDeleteCupcakes! That's my nickname cause I use to always bake them for softball games as the 'team mom.' Granted, the players were middle aged coworkers....
ReplyDeleteThe Holiday Candy and confection. This would be perfect with the holidays coming up.
ReplyDeleteChristmas cookie - we had so much fun last year decorating with royal icing that I'd love to expand my repertoire!
ReplyDeleteI would pick up the Christmas cookie one first. I love finding new recipes for the holidays that I haven't seen before.

The cupcake book first but I admit the other three would also be calling to me. mtl166@verizon.net
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate chip cookie book is calling my name...and my husband's name. But that's only because he's on a mission to make the best chocolate chip cookies - for me. He hates them, but I love them :)
ReplyDeleteTo choose only one? I would choose the Holiday Candy and Confections! I am just getting in to baking and finding all the great looking and tasting things out there..... So many options....
ReplyDeletedefinitely chocolate chip cookie.
ReplyDeleteblueblanket@hotmail.com
It's a tough call, but with the season fast approachng, I think the Candy and
ReplyDeleteConfections would win out - unless I needed some Chocolate chip cookies in the meantime to keep my strength up!
I would open the chocolate chip cookie book first, but mostly because it's on top. Honestly, I'd pour through all of them from cover to cover with my post it flags. But chocolate chip cookies are pretty dang awesome.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd look at the Christmas book first, in the hopes of finding something with a German background, to remind me of the ones I tried to make while living overseas and had to use metric measurements. (Ugh! I want the recipes in cups and teaspoons!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!!!!
With the holidays coming, I think I would look at the Holiday Candy and Confections one first.
ReplyDeleteChocolate chip cookies all the way! I am still hoping to perfect my recipe.
ReplyDeleteChocolate Chip!
ReplyDeleteThis is hard, but I guess Chocolate Chip Cookies!
ReplyDeleteI would open the cupcake book. My fiance gets really excited when I make cupcakes. :)
ReplyDeleteChristmas Cookies!
ReplyDeleteI love making candy and baking holiday breads for gifts at Christmastime, so, I'd grab the Holiday Candy and Confections first!
ReplyDeleteUmmmm....*Holiday Candy* caught my attention...always love trying a new candy for Christmas! Thanks for offering these for us! Cheers, Valerie.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely go straight for the cupcake one!! I have a crazy obsession with cupcakes so it would be perfect for me!
ReplyDeleteI would definitly look at the Holiday Candy book first!
ReplyDeletePick me, pick me, pick me. Just kidding. Actually I am not. PICK ME! :)
ReplyDeleteOOOOH! definitely a hard choice but I think the first one I would open would be the Christmas Cookie field guide!
ReplyDeleteI usually spend the 12 days of Christmas, baking Christmas cookies and confections morning, noon and night.
So I would love to try some new recipes from the Bakers Field Guide Books!
I would definitely start with the Cupcake book. In my town, we have a range of cupcake vendors. Ranging from perfect cake and too much icing, to too thick cake and great icing. My turn to make the perfect one. Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Christmas Cookies, since it's the holiday season, but the Chocolate Chip one might get me since I have a strange inability to make chocolate chip cookies!
ReplyDeleteI would reach for the chocolate chip! They have endless potential in baking and I can snack on them all the while!
ReplyDeleteOn a normal day, CUPCAKES... but because the holiday season is upon us...Christmas Cookies.
ReplyDeleteChocolate chip cookies. The world's most perfect food.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Holiday Candy and Confections for sure!
ReplyDeletethe chocolate chip. i think chocolate chip cookies are all about the senses, i love to hear the reactions of my friends when they step into my home and can smell the chocolate chip cookie and I love watching their faces and demeanor change when they experience that first bite into a warm cookie. a chocolate chip cookie is more than a cookie, it's always associated with memory and it has a way of bringing you back to a place, time and person.
ReplyDeleteCupcake. Because cupcakes are like little individual servings of happiness, and I can never make enough.
ReplyDeleteI would open the Christmas Cookies first, with not doubt.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a tossup between the Christmas and Cupcakes! What a cool set of books!
ReplyDeleteThe cupcake book because I am trying to bake 500 different cupcake recipes and am always on the look out for new recipes. Also, my friend turns 21 next month and loves champagne (just don't tell her parents lol)

ReplyDeleteThe cupcake book of course! Nothing better than a cupcake :)
