A gorgeous giveaway
***************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

Awesome giveaway!
I'd love to try some of the juice recipes. I get kinda boring with my combinations so it'd be nice to try something new.
I would love having a raw food book, the ones at work are always so expensive but I really would love one. If I won, I'd make the desserts first, I love desserts the best.
I don't own any raw cook books so this would be so awesome to win!!! Your reviews and food you've made from it look amazing!! This is such a great give away Gina!
ohhh mannnn i want this sooo badly!
i'd like to win it because the raw world is so new and interesting to me but i need a little cookbook guidance!
I would love to win this cookbook for MANY reasons. First I live in Las Vegas, the desert after having moved from California and I miss fresh produce!! It’s harder to find "the healthy" lifestyle that I had there. Also 2 years ago I was diagnosed with a condition that requires me to eat only whole fruits and vegetables, no dairy, etc and I have been stuck for the last few months trying to figure out what to make that TASTES good!! The very first thing I am going to make is Vanilla Chia Pudding – I have look at your pictures of it everyday (Yes I am like a kid in a candy store) and can't wait to try it!! Thank you so much to BOTH of you!! You girls Rock!!
i would love to win the cookbook! i literally JUST stumbled upon sarma's blog the other day (i know, i live under a rock), and it's so beautiful – i can only imagine the book is more of the same 🙂
I would love to have this cookbook…I am moving to Orlando Soon, and I know with the heat, I need to make sure to stay hydrated and what better way to do so than with juice recipes!!
awesome! I'd love to learn more about raw food!
I am interested in winning this cookbook because I'm want to learn more about raw foods but it's overwhelming. The book would serve as a great guide!
I've been eating raw until dinner for several weeks now, and have never felt better. However, I have been making the same salad over and over again.
This cookbook will allow me to branch out from my standard salad into much more exotic fare. Plus, it will likely provide me with some recipes for my new spiralizer!
Nice! I would probably try one of the juices or smoothies first! thanks!
I would love to win this cookbook. I have really tried to shift to breakfast and lunch being raw and would love some recipes to help me do so.
Wow, that cookbook looks awesome. I'm like so many other people, I have no idea how to work raw foods into my diet other than simple fruits and veggies!
I Reeeeeeeeeally want to win this cookbook, I want to being eaten more raw foods and I know that having this cookbook will really get me started and motive me to eat raw!
As a raw food newbie, I've put this book in my amazon cart more than once after seeing your reviews, but I'm hesitant to take the plunge and purchase it. This giveaway would be muy perfect-o for me:)!
I'd love to win this book so I could give it to my sister for her 30th birthday this year. She's been experimenting with vegetarian, vegan, and raw food for the past few years, and I admire her so much for doing it. She does it for herself, but more so for the animals and earth she loves.
If I were to win this cookbook, I think I'd pick out a special meal and make it for my sister, and then present the book along with the meal. I know she'd love it!
Gina – has anyone told you how much you rock today? Like several other commenters here, reading your blog has really inspired me to make a conscious effort to eat more natural and raw foods. You make everything look so yummy and fun!
If I win I'm all over an entree my family will will never know is raw and healthy.
omg I would LOVE this cookbook. I think I would make one of the salads, smoothies, or raw desserts, or… can you tell I want to make it all! I have been following your blog for some time now and am really trying to eat more raw. Thanks Gina!
I would LOVE to win this cookbook and I'm actually going to Pure Food and Wine and One Lucky Duck for my birthday on the 18th so I'm hoping to find some new raw dish inspiration there as well 🙂
Oh my gosh, I would love to win this book!
What a great giveaway!! I would love to check out the dessert section first off! (duh!) 😀 Is this the recipe book that has the chia pudding recipe??
I'd love to win this cookbook b/c I am constantly trying to find new healthful recipes to try. And I'd DEFINITELY try something from the dessert section first!!
I would love to win this book! I just recently bought a juicer and don't know what fruits and veggies go well together. I've just been stuck in a carrot/apple/beet rut, which is good, but I think I could benefit from all the juice recipes in the cookbook! I really hope I win!
I need this book simply because all the recipes you make from it look absolutely delicious. Thanks!
I would love to win this cookbook. I just found your site and can't wait to try your workouts. I wish you lived at RAF Lakenheath so I could hire you to be my trainer. I am on my way to losing 40 pounds and you are inspiring me.
I am also a military spouse. I have made it through 18 years so if you ever need any tips in that area, let me know.
Hugs
Great giveaway!! I am a new raw food convert and need Sarma's help with meal ideas. On top of that I just made reservations at pure food and wine!! She is such an inspiration for her creativity when it comes to foods that most deem inedible or bland. Fingers crossed that I get to try all her amazing recipes in the comfort of my own home! Thanks Fitnessista.
wowza! I'd love to start incorporating more raw foods in my diet and definitely need recipes that are easy and reasonably priced 🙂
As someone who is transitioning into a raw food lifestyle I would LOVE to read this book and get some great recipes. I have been looking for recipes online and this book would be so amazing to have and even more motivation to continue trying more raw foods. I will most definitely be trying the desserts first! 🙂
I've been following so many blogs that have posted so many delicious looking raw meals but do not have the actual recipe to follow. As Gena posted on her blog, I too have IBS and would love to slowly incorporate raw meals into my diet to see if will ease my symptoms. Winning this book would be a great starting point in educating myself more on raw meals.
I woudl LOVE to win this cookbook!
I have eaten at Pure Food & Wine in NYC , and absolutely loved everything (especially the mushroom scallops!) I have yet to make a raw desert -so that would be first on my agenda – they look delectable!

I'd love to win this cookbook because I love experimenting in the kitchen and trying new things. The health aspect is also a huge plus 🙂 It looks like a great cookbook. Thanks so much!

I would love to win this book to kick off my detox from my trip overseas!
I could definitely go for some pumpkin gnocchi with walnut cream sauce
Oh my gosh, I would love to try making and eating raw food. It really intrigues me! I've been wanting to try making chia pudding, but haven't gotten the courage.

bah. i would love that book!
those pictures are gorgeous.
i dont know what that dessert

I have been wanting this cookbook ever since it first appeared on your blog! It's on my Amazon list, but free would be even better!!!
Hi! I would love to win this cookbook for a bunch of reasons. One, in the last month, I have begun reading several "Food Blogs," including yours, the Nutritionista, Shedding It and Getting It, and Carrots 'N' Cake; pre-blog days, I was starving myself and working my butt off at the gym to try to lose weight. Now, I'm eating well, exercising healthily, and paying attention to what my body needs. Surprisingly (to me), I'm still losing weight, but very slowly; and my body is changing, getting more toned, and I just feel better.
That all being said, in my new healthy lifestyle, I'm learning the benefits of eating "clean" and real foods, and I'm pretty sure this cookbook would be an amazing addition to my kitchen and food repertoire.
I'm not going to lie – I'm most curious about the raw desserts (especially after trying the banana froyo – Amazing!). But, I've also been dying to try some juice recipes and some new salads.
You're awesome! Keep up the good work (and the great blog)!
I just ordered this book at the bookstore and it's taken waaaay to long to get in….I wouldn't might waiting a wee bit longer for a GIVEAWAY!!! I love Sarma and what she stands for…so normal and cool yet balanced in a realistic way. Please pick me:)
This sounds interesting! I'd love to win! 🙂
i'd love to win this book! The whole concept of raw food is so fascinating and intimidating at the same time. I'd love to try a "pasta" that i've seen on your blog so man times. =)
yummm! I would love this cookbook because I am trying to experiment with more raw foods but I don't know where to start! I would love the cookbook and I would definitely try one of the desserts first!
What a great giveaway! I'm at the beginning of my adventure to learn more about raw food and I think this bood would be a huge help! I am always looking for new dinner ideas that are healthy, tasty and quick.
Thanks for all the great knowledge you share- you're a huge source of motivation and inspiration!
OH, I would love to have this cookcook! I've recently started trying raw foods, I love them!
I would love to win this cookbook so that I try out various new ways to create raw foods. It's great that most of the recipes are easy because I usually don't have too much time. Thanks for the giveaway, Gina 😀
What a great giveaway! I recently picked up a juicer at a garage sale for $10 so I would probably make juices first.
This would be a great way to do more than just stick my big toe in the water of eating raw. I have food allergies (processed corn – as in HFCS), so I need to explore this raw food concept more. Thanks for the giveaway, and for sharing your enthusiasm for eating raw! Not sure what the first thing is that I would fix – maybe a juice? Breakfast is hard for me (on the go).
I would love to win this cookbook because while I don't want to be a raw foodist, I definitely want to incorporate more raw foods into my diet.
Whatever delicious looking bar thing is pictured in the photo you posted is the first thing I'll make… er I mean a salad beast… 🙂
omg I want this cookbook SOOO BADLY!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Sarma!!!
hey gina!i would loveeee to win this cook book because i have been dying to try making some more raw dishes and you make it sound unbelievable!
i would love to try the chia pudding you make! it looks scrumptious!
thankyou so much for this opportunity!
I would love to make some new salads. I have been eating a lot more of them now that it's warmer in Michigan and it would be great to mix things up a bit!
Hello Hello! I would use this cookbook to first make some amazing desserts! I love trying new recipes too!
Great giveaway 🙂
