***************EDITED TO SAY: This giveaway has ended as of 7/13/09 0800.
Hey everyone! HAPPY FRIDAY!
I’ve got a seriously amazing giveaway to kick off the weekend….
Remember this cookbook that I got (and have been experimenting with a little this week)??
I talked to Sarma, founder of One Lucky Duck and co-founder Pure Food and Wine, and she has graciously offered a Fitnessista reader a signed copy of her new cookbook!!!
This cookbook is outta control amazing. The recipes are easy to follow, don’t require a ton of obscure ingredients or fancy schmancy equipment and demonstrate that raw food doesn’t have to be complicated to be beautiful and delicious. It also includes a boatload of information on nutrition and the raw lifestyle, yet reads like an email from a good friend. I read the book in it’s entirety within 2 days.
It’s also a feast for the eyes with stunning photos…
Recipes for juices….
Salads, soups, snacks and impressive entrees….
Cocktails and desserts….
Are ya sold yet??? 😀
Here’s how you can get 2 chances to win this beautiful cookbook:
- Leave a comment stating why you’d like to win this cookbook and/or what you’d like to make first if you win
- Link back to this post on your blog and send me an email (fitnessista at gmail dot com) with the link to your post. If you don’t have a blog, no worries, just send me an email and I’ll get your extra entry in
I’ll post the winner at 8am EST on Monday, July 13th

Hi there! I would love to win this cookbook, because I've converted my husband to be a healthy eater too, and would love to be able to make healthy delicious meals for us both several nights a week.
I would definitely make one of ehr salads first. I love trying new refreshing salads, but I have a hard time for some reason coming up with my own combinations.
Thanks for this offer!!
I really want to incorporate more raw foods into my diet but other than plain fruits and veggies I'm pretty much clueless :(. Help fitnessista!!!

I would love to try some of the delicious stuff from Samara. I have been on the fence about getting the other cookbooks, so I think this would be a great opportunity! I have a few raw cookbooks but nothing has been 'wow' yet. The stuff you make always looks 'wow' so I would love to try!
Oh my gosh, I would love to win this book! I never even thought about eating raw until I started reading your blog, now I am trying to do it more and more.
Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway!
Ahhhh I have wanted my first raw cookbook forever!!! I would love to make any baked good or smoothie she has in there!! Seeing as I will be starting culinary school soon…. I would love to get my practice in!! 🙂
Wow! This is an amazing contest. One of my best friends is a natural foods chef/health counselor and just introduced me to Pure Food and Wine. Recently, we stopped by their take-away outpost and tried some delicious desserts! (I live in NYC.) I became very interested in the vegan/raw food (I'm a longtime vegetarian) and was actually looking at the cookbook before you posted anything about it. Is it destiny? I think so! I would LOVE to try making the vanilla chai pudding. Thanks!
I'd love this book!!! Raw food intrigues me to an extent, but it seems so overwhelming… besides, i have a running collection of signed cookbooks!
I want to win this cookbook because I want to try the Vanilla Chai pudding recipe! I also want to learn more about raw food so that I can try to incorporate it slowly into my diet. However, I don't want to buy a lot of equipment so I think this will be a good cookbook for me to experiment the raw food life style!
I have incorporated raw into my diet now for almost a year but can't get my husband on board. These recipes look so delious that I think he would be more than happy to try some of them out. The fact that they are easy to prepare and I would have the guidance of this great cookbook makes it perfect for me. Thanks for all your great blogs!
Oh la la- what a giveaway. I would love to win this cookbook. Believe it or not I have yet to purchase a raw cookbook so I am in dire need of one. All of the recipes you've already created from this cookbook look awesome so I can't wait to see what others are inside.
I have been looking for a good raw cookbook for ages. I have gone to Barnes and Noble several times and came away empty handed all because I couldn't make up my mind. After hearing your comments and review of the book, I know I want this one!
Who am I kidding, I would definitely make one of the desserts first! : )
oh my gosh, how awesome! I would love to win this cookbook so I can find recipes that both my husband and I would enjoy to try out eating raw. I've found some things that I think I would like, but I would love to have some that would be appealing to him, as well.
Hi Gina,
This is great! I sent you an email with the link from my blog.
I have Sarma's first book and have made several recipes. The photo's are amazing.
I love desserts, so I would have to choose a dessert recipe in the book.
Enjoy and thank you,
Pam

The book looks awesome! I'm experimenting "in the raw" and it would help me alot! Thanks for the offer!
I'd love to start experiementing w/ raw foods for twofold: 1) i've battled stomach issues nearly my entire life (woot woot IBS), and 2) i've been battling skin issues for 12-13 years now.
I'd be very interested to see if changes in my diet would help, even in the least little bit…I've just never had the proper resources to start it off. And I'd like to do it properly. Oh, and I LOVE fruits and veggies like no other!
Yum! I'd love to win this and learn some easy, quick raw lunches to take to work instead of the plain old chicken sandwich I seem to take everyday!
Looks awesome! I would like to make some raw desserts!
I'd love to learn how to incorporate more raw foods into my diet, especially for the summer. This cookbook seems like the perfect way to get started!
I would love to win this book! I have been wanting to incorporate more raw foods into my diet, other than just salad and feel this would be a great tool to help me do so. There are so many creative ways and I just need a little guidance to get me there

Thanks for the giveaway!

The first thing I would make is whatever that dessert is in the picture in your post. It looks delicious!
Oh wow! That is an amazing giveaway! I would love a raw cookbook to check out. 😀
Gina, I love your honesty and thoughts about the ice cream. I think that any of us who have gone through a change experiences something like that. We all have that one thing that we pretty much stay away from or don't want to engage in. I can fully understand what you're saying! 😀
I love all of your food! You go girl!! I will link back – even though I don't want others to win 🙂
I would make a dessert first! The bars on the page you photographed are drool-worthy.
If I win, I need to email you my email. 🙂

I would love to win the cookbook in order to access easy recipes for raw food. I'm always interested in trying new things and raw food is something that has recently sparked my interest. I would probably choose to make a salad first, then a cocktail!
What an awesome giveaway!!!!!!! I would love to win because I have been wanting to give more raw foods a try but don't know where to start!
I would love to win this cookbook so that I can learn how to incorporate raw food into my diet. I've never been to Pure Food & Wine but it looks + sounds SO good! Thanks for having this giveaway, Gina!
This book would be perfect- I'm a mama of a 2 year old and have little time to prepare fancy meals for myself (and her). We love raw food! Simple raw food recipes are right up my ally! 🙂
I would love this cookbook. I try very hard to provide healthy, nourishing meals for me and my kids, but would like to start eating more raw foods. Thanks!

great giveaway! id love to win because it seems like such a healthy lifestyle that everyone could incorporate into their daily lives… also, id probably make a dessert first!
I would love to win this book because I am preparing myself to develop a high-raw diet. I was always a super healthy eater until about 6 months ago — and now I teeter between healthy eats and really junky eating — too much food or sugar overload, carb overload. Somehow,I've taken up eating as a response to stress and anxiety. I need to refocus my attitude toward eating. For now, I am reading Natalia Rose. Would love additional info and recipe ideas.
OoOo I was *just* checking out this book at the bookstore last weekend and this week put it on my Amazon wishlist!
I've recently been experimenting more and more with raw food – I even made my first raw dessert last night! I would love to add this book to my collection to get more ideas on raw recipes as well as read Sarma's thoughts on the raw food lifestyle.
YAH! Thanks!! I would love to win this to learn more about the raw diet lifestyle. I would totally make a dessert first 🙂
I want to win this cookbook because I have such an interest in raw food yet haven't had the opportunity to really check a lot of it out. I would probably go with some sort of salad first….because really, you can never go wrong with a salad!
I would love to win so thy I could try incorporating more raw foods in my diet!
I'd love to try some more creative ways to get more veggies into my diet (and into my husband's diet). I'm always on the fence about cookbooks (it seems that I never end up using the ones I do buy). 🙁
HI! I would LOVE to win this cookbook because I am an avid cook and love experimenting with new eating styles! You turned me onto raw juices and now I am dying to try some other raw recipes! First, I would make that Vanilla Chia Pudding..hello yum! Hope I win!
Ooh, I would love this book! I'm very high raw and am always looking for new, not-super-complicated recipes that I can make during the busy week!
Thanks!! Have a good one!
I would looove this cookbook so I can start expirimenting and really understanding "raw" diets!
I would love to win the cookbook because I'm still a little scared of preparing raw food … I know it seems simple, but after so many years of cooked, it just seems complicated!
I'm happy you're loving the book – everything looks great! 🙂
