Giveaway — A Year of Pies: A Seasonal Tour of Home Baked Pies — A Cookbook

by Katy on August 27, 2012 · 348 comments

Note: This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to Donna whose comments was randomly chosen to win an autographed copy of Ashley English’s “A Year of Pies.”

HaveI got a treat for you, which is the opportunity to win an autographed copy of Ashley English’s A Year of Pies: A Seasonal Tour of Home Baked Pies. You may remember English as the author of The Homemade Living series that includes Keeping Bees, Canning and Preserving, Home Dairy and Keeping Chickens. Or, you simply might know Ashley English a the author of the blog Small Measure.

Man-O-Shevitz, is this woman prolific!

I had initially been sent a single copy of the book to use as a giveaway, but after ruining the pages with my drool reading the book like a grown-up, I decided that there was no way I was giving this book away, and I would need a separate copy for a giveaway. Although I haven’t baked any of the pies yet, it’s only because I’ve been in New York. Luckily, an extra copy (autographed no less!) arrived during my absence, so I’m finally ready to share my delicious bounty.

This beautiful cookbook is destined to become your go-to resource for all things pie. It’s that good!

To enter to win a copy of A Year of Pies: A Seasonal Tour of Home Baked Pies, just write your favorite kind of pie in the comments section below. I will randomly choose a winner at 9 P.M. Pacific time on Friday, August 31. U.S. residents only, please enter one time only.

Here, I’ll get you started. My favorite pie is homemade blueberry pie. (Unless it’s apple, lemon merengue or coconut cream. ;-) )

Good luck, happy pie baking and a big thank you to Lark Books for mailing out an extra book to one particularly selfish blogger!

Oh- Well right now it is peach pie– as they peaches are falling ripe from the trees- though this will probably always beat out any other pie in my heart– I even served Peach Pie at our wedding( well cobbler) but peaches has a special place in my heart and I would love to try as many recipes as possible

My favorite pie is homemade cherry pie, but the best pie I’ve made was a chocolate ganache tart with fresh raspberries arranged on top, dusted with powdered sugar.

My favorite pie is one my mom used to make to get rid of the abundance of zucchini that grew in my dad’s garden. It was a sneaky pie, and I think truthfully that is why it’s special to me. It tasted and looked just like an apple pie, but no apples were harmed during the making of this dessert. It was all zucchini.peeled and seeded and sliced thin enough, the veggie soaked up the cinnamon and sugar and took on a while new identity. Like I said, sneaky!
