Raw-mazing Giveaway
Hey everyone! Hope you’ve had a great day so far <3 Thank you for all of your advice regarding whether I should give running another chance. I’m still thinking it out and want to talk it over with the pilot… so we shall see 😉
So… Bikram is HOT.

Not so much Bikram himself –my apologies if you find him seksi, he’s just not my type- but the yoga oven torture chamber. I LOVE the heat and it usually feels amazing, but this morning the air was thick, uncomfortably hot and took a lot of deep breathing to get through the 90 minutes. It was a very, very challenging class.
When it was over, I took my schweaty self to Whole Paycheck and sipped a carrot, apple, beet, ginger juice
and also got hot bar for breakfast.
Plantains, squash and zucchini, shrimp salad, Babylonian Treasure salad, and my beloved vegan miso slaw.
I came back to my aunt’s casa, said my “see ya later”s and got on the road back to Valdizzy.
I’m about to pick up Viesa from the kennel and head to the base gym, but before I go…
a GIVEAWAY from Ani Phyo!
I had the pleasure of meeting Ani while I was at 105degrees– not only is she totally gorgeous, but she’s also kind and personable.
This giveaway is extra exciting because I’ve been anxiously awaiting the release of this cookbook since last year.
Ani’s Raw Food Essentials: Recipes and Techniques for Mastering the Art of Live Food
I LOVE Ani’s Phyo’s recipes. They’re simple and many don’t require fancy gadgets, like dehydrators, spiralizers, mandonlines, etc.
Also, they’re DELICIOUS 😀
This cookbook includes 250 recipes and is a perfect uncookbook for beginning chefs and masters of the kitchen.
Recipes include:
- Broccoli-Cheddar Quiche
- Brazil Nut Banana Pancakes
- Pad Thai with Kelp Noodles
- Coconut Cake with Nutella Hazelnut Sauce
- Black Olive and Pesto Pizza
So how can this 250 recipe cookbook be yours?
Leave a comment telling me who your favorite chef is.

Ready… set… go!

Rachael Ray or Giada – I love them both!
I love Paula Deen! She seems like such a bubbly person and loves what she does!
My favorite chef to watch is Alton Brown; my favorite chef’s recipes are the Fitnessita’s. My family has enjoyed your Indian dishes, Chocolate Cherry Bomb and breakfast cookies.
I love Alton Brown – I always record Good Eats! It’s so great to learn something new about food 🙂 I would love this cookbook! I am trying to incorporate more raw into my diet and this would be the best! Love your blog!!!
Tie between the Barefoot Contessa lady (she’s so fancy!) and Jamie Oliver (he’s so cute!).
My favorite is Giada de Laurentiis. She makes even the simplest dishes seem so delectable because of her love of food.
I’d say Jamie Oliver — he has such good, simple recipes and I love how involved he is in getting kids to eat better.
My old roommate Elizabeth she is the best cook and baker ever!
my favorite chef is Jamie Oliver for how he is crusading around America trying to get kids to eat better. that show is very hard to watch, but also very eye opening
My mom! Nobody can make a better lasagna!
Im a fan of Emeril!
My favorite chef is Rachel Ray, I love her 30 minute meals!
bobbbbby flay love love love!!
My favorite chef is my boss! She teaches me how to cook all the time and there is nothing like learning in person!
I like how classy the Barefoot Contessa is but I love how passionate Jamie Oliver is 🙂
Bethenny Frankel for her emphasis on healthy, whole food, with a side of SASSITUDE.
She’s definitely a fitnessista!
I am my own favorite chef!

Definitely my husband. He’s amazing!
I do love me some Giada! <3 She always has amazing twists on Italian dishes and usually keeps things pretty healthy as well.
My favorite is Jamie Oliver.
I love Irish chef Rachel Allen. She has a young family and all the recipes in her books are very achievable with no fancy schmancy ingredients.
Mark Bittman! I agree with his eating principles and the epic “How to Make Everything” is my food bible. I love how he provides multiple options for altering a single recipe.
Definitely Rachel Ray, or maybe even my mother 🙂
Giada De Laurentiis! Her recipes are simple, she never uses processed foods and I get great ideas for my meat-eating boyfriend! But I would love to incorporate more raw foods into our diet!
I would say Jamie Oliver,i love his recipes.But the best chef ever is def my aunt hermine,she’s an amazing cook and creates the best healthy recipes!not to mention she makes a great ricotta strudel!
Barefoot Contessa…or my husband (sometimes)
Barefoot Contessa…or my husband (sometimes).
HAHAHA Gina I GASPED when I saw Ani in a picture with you!!!! How cool is that?!?!?! I saw that she has been going all over promoting her new book (which I have waiting for me on the kitchen table to be opened on my birthday yay yay yay!!) Too cool!!!
My bf’s mom, she makes amazing dishes out of the simplest ingredients.
Definitely Giada.. she has such a passion for food!!

My husband is a chef so I’d have to say he’s my favorite 😉 Peter Berley is probably my favorite famous chef.
right now it is Terry Walters of Clean Food! I’m loving the recipes!!
Awesome giveaway! My favorite chef is Isa Chandra Moskowitz.
I like a ton of chefs but Andrea Beaman and Dreena Burton are two of my favorites!
I like Giada De Laurentiis. She has simple recipes that aren’t loaded with tons of fat (ahem, Paula D) but are still indulgent.
Me! 🙂 I love cooking more than anything else in the world…especially healthy cooking. I am also a big fan of Ani,Natalia Rose, and Giada. Awesome giveaway!
my mom!!!! 🙂
If I had to pick right now, it would be the Barefoot Contessa. I love all of her great recipes for entertaining!
No doubt everyone is naming chefs from the TV Food Network… so, I’m going to go with my mom. Yes, she’s a great cook, but I also admire how she finds the time to do it between her job and taking care of the family. This a thing you can’t appreciate until you,re older, right?
Jody Adams of Rialto in Cambridge Ma. Her food is simple, delicious and yet always innovative.
HI G$!
I like PPK’s Isa Chandra Moskowitz! I love how most of her recipes are short, simple and deeeeelicious 🙂
I have cookbooks by Natalie rose, Matt Amsden and Gabriel cousens but I DO NOT have Ani Phyo’s! I would LOVE to have her book. I think she is an awesome women with doable recipes. Thanks for the opportunity!
I know it’s cliche but I <3 Ina. I'm obsessed with her herb garden and her beautiful house. I pretty much just want her life 🙂 Sort of…
Hope you're having a great week!
I’m not sure if I have a favorite chef. My rountine is to just try any recipe that looks good. I’m very interested in raw food, especially if it doesn’t involve fancy gadgets, so this would be a great addition to my collection.
Frank Stitt…he owns several restaurants that I’ve eaten at and I have both of his cookbooks. Amazing food!
Gordon Ramsay 🙂
Curtis Stone…. It’s also a bonus he’s a hunk! =)
My favourite chef is my Mom–she makes bold, beautiful Northern Italian food. But if I have to pick someone famous, then I would have to pick Giada. Lots of fresh, practical dishes based on whole foods! 🙂
