Holiday Giveaways Day 5: Cook's Illustrated - CLOSED

Update: The winner is commenter #217 - Leslie! Her comment about being a Twitter follower was the winner.

Congrats Leslie! You should have an email from me, please reply with your mailing address so I can get your prize off to you.



We've reached the final day of my week of giveaways, and I really wish it didn't have to end. This has been a blast! I've loved reading all of your comments, especially the ones about your favorite Trader Joe's products. My shopping list is going to be a mile long next time I'm there :)

Today's giveaway is all about my most trusted source of information when it comes to cooking and baking: Cook's Illustrated. Their cookbooks line my shelves - I'd guess I've made hundreds of their recipes, and have very rarely been disappointed by the results. Their rigorous testing, and thorough explanation of why they do things the way they do in their recipes has undoubtedly made me a better cook and baker. I could go on and on about all the reasons I love Cook's Illustrated, but I'll spare you - let's just get to the giveaway!

Maybe you're a cookbook person, or perhaps you prefer magazines? Maybe you don't want either hanging around your house, and would rather access everything online? No worries, I've got you covered with today's giveaway.

And good news - this giveaway is NOT limited to US residents. However, international residents will only be eligible for the online subscription. The online site collects recipes from all of the magazines, including the current issue, as well as equipment reviews, taste tests, videos demonstrating many of the recipes and more. I promise, it rocks!
