Cookbook Giveaway #3: Maman’s Homesick Pie
(The winner of the French Women Don’t Get Fat Cookbook is commenter #31 Megan! Congrats!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have yet another cookbook for you! Maman’s Homesick Pie: A Persian Heart in an American Kitchen
Yesterday I tried the Cinnamon Date Bars, which are like on a date cake that the author greatly enjoyed as a child. I thought it sounded good, but was unsure if my kids actually would. They LOVED it– every single kid. (I’m hoping to share the recipe later – just waiting for permission from the author!) Other recipes I want to try include:
- Madame’s Cocoa Pound Cake
- Saffron Yogurt Rice with Chicken and Eggplant
- Grape Leaf Dolmas with Jeweled Rice
This book doesn’t release until October, but you can pre-order it on Amazon now by clicking on the picture above. Would you like to win a copy of this book? Just comment below and describe one food that you loved as a child. For a second entry you may mention this post on facebook, twitter or on your own blog. For me it would definitely be my mom’s lasagne, or perhaps ‘Aunt Edie Pancakes.’ (If you have Family Feasts you may have spotted that recipe!) I’m looking forward to hearing which foods are rich with nostalgia for you….
My favorite was my grandfather’s fried chicken. It was marinaded in ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil before being battered and fried. Yum!
Grandma’s homemade spaghetti. It would stew for hours and the whole house would smell delish!
This sounds like a delightful book with wonderful recipes. As a child, believe it or not, my favorite once or twice a year treat was cow’s tongue! My grandmother made a delicious dish of it with potatoes.
