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.
The lucky winner will be chosen randomly tomorrow night (6/15) at midnight.
Ready… set… go!
xoxo,
Gina
Bobbly Flay! Would it be wrong for the reason to be because he’s so damn HOT?
I like Ellie Krieger and Guy Fiore. I have an addiction with buying cookbooks. I love buying all sorts of cookbooks.
I have to say Rachael Ray. I am a no fuss cook. Her recipes are uncomplicated and don’t require alot of ingredients.
Ina Garten – her food always looks wonderful!
I love Rick Bayless. I love Mexican food but never really considered it could be anything but greasy and gringo-fied so far north of the border, but his restaurants in Chicago take the simple classics to a whole new level. I love his research, passion and accessibility.
Natalia Rose Baby! With anybody that will “uncook” for me coming in at a close second… love you long time 😉
Nigella Lawson. Despite the fact that I can’t eat most of what she makes, I love how she feels about and prepares food.
Gina aka Fitnessista! 😉 Your recipes are always my go to. I can always count on a yummy meal from you.
Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything books basically save my relationship several times a week. Great giveaway!
I love bobby flay
My fav chef depends on who I am cooking for and what they are in the mood for. My husband is not a health food freak so for him I normally use The Pioneer Woman. For myself I love Matthew Keeney. Matthew’s recipe are wonderful for beginning raw food eaters!
Jaime Oliver- simple, yet delicious food 🙂
jamie oliver because i love how he is trying to get kids healthy!!!!:)
I have long been anticipating the release of this book. I just moved to OKC & am anxious to attend 105 degrees. This giveaway is amazing! My fav chef is Ann Wigmore… I dsuppose I should say raw chef 🙂 thank you!
Jamie Oliver. I love his idea that everybody can cook good, wholesome meals at home for themselves.
I love Curtis Stone! That book looks great-I would love to make more raw dishes!
Even though he isn’t vegan (and I am), I love Jamie Oliver because of the work he is doing with healthy school food.
Im not gona lie.. Curtis Stone.
I just love listening to him talk.. dreamy!
He can be my take home chef any day!
Morgan
Ina Garten! Can she please cater my wedding?!
I LOVE to watch Bobby Flay! But I also really like Rachel Ray, too. 🙂
Great giveaway! Must be something in the air today, since I have one too!
My favorite chef has to be Alice Waters. I love her cookbooks!
I absolutely adore Ina Garten. She understand not only the importance of fresh, local food and high quality ingredients, but also the essence of presentation. She always has fresh beautiful flowers and unique centerpieces at all her parties.
I WANT THIS BOOK SO BAD!! I’d say right now my fav chef is the lady I just did my 10 day intensive training with. http://www.rawrose.com She’s fantastic and has created amazing recipes!!
PICK ME!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
My fav. chef is Ina Garten!
I have such a girl crush on Giada. My new Food Network show is Five Ingredient Fix with Claire Robinson, not loving all of her recipes so far but I love that they only have five ingredients in them! I also love Ellie Krieger.
Thanks, Gina =)
Tyler Florence b/c he is kinda cute and Giada because her food always looks so yummy and comforting – no matter what it is!
I really like ellie krieger and giada!
Maybe not a true favorite but I love Martha Rose Shulman’s “recipes for health” articles and recipes in the NY Times. Many are vegan or easily veganized – for those times when I want cooked food. Gotta mention Isa Moskowitz, too. Most of my raw inspiration comes from blogs, though – yours included, of course.
I love Tyler Florence, but will always tune into Ina when her show is on!
My mom is my favorite chef!I love all of her food. But if I have to pick someone that actually cooks as a profession, I would pick Rick Williams the chef at a restaurant I worked in during college in Petaluma, CA. YUM
Bobby Flay…I just went to the Mesa Grill. Amazing!
I’m a new reader and I love your blog…its really changing the way I look at food. Thanks! =)
I have just started experimenting with raw foods, and I would LOVE this cookbook! I might just have to buy it if I don’t win. 😉
I love Bobby Flay. Love, love, love.
I love Giada and Rachel Ray. Giada’s food is so rich and simple, and Rachel is rich and sinful!
My favorite chef is Nigel Slater or Mark Bittman. I just love their take on basic, fresh, real foods.
so we cant pick Ani? because she is my fav.thank you both for this opportunity
I like Rachel Ray. Her recipes are quick and easy.
Rachael Ray. We are all busy and her meals are easy
Jose Garces– one of the best chefs in Philly AND an Iron Chef 🙂
I like to watch Paula Deen, she has a great personality – and I love her self-made story!
I also really like Ina Garten.
Jamie Oliver! He is amazing and his food philosophy is awesome
I love Mireille Guiliano’s books and recipes. They have such a soft yet strong tone to them. And, of course, Sarma’s recipes/products.
Hmm..my fave chef…would have to be, Laura Calder (canadian)…she puts a french twist on all food! So yummy!
While I’m vegan, I love Jamie Oliver! (Can’t help it..)
My favorite chef will always be my grandfather. He never measured, he just “listened” to what the dish needed.
Ina Garten.. because every time I try one of her recipes, I get showered with compliments and requests for the recipe!
I pick Tosca Reno and The Fitnessista! I never learned much about or paid much attention to nutrition while I was growing up and as I have gotten older. I came upon Tosca Reno’s Eat Clean books about a year ago and she really opened my eyes to a whole new world. That is when I started reading health blogs and (luckily) found The Fitnessista!
My fave is my friend Julie’s Mother! Sorry but for me she beats any of those big names!
I heart Ina Garten and her casual elegance, but I probably cook more Rachael Ray than anyone else. That may be because I’m more of a goof than a casually elegant Hamptonite, I don’t know.
Gosh, I love SO many chefs, but Rachael Ray will always hold a special place in my heart. I know it sounds cheesy and I rarely watch her show or make her recipes anymore now that I’m a chef myself, but I do credit her with taking the fear out of cooking for me, introducing me to flavoful food, and starting me down this career path!
I LOVE THIS BOOK! I just thought her first one was okay, so I reluctantly checked out this one from the library, and boy am I impressed! I have zucchini bread in the dehydrator as I type, and I made some cookies last night. I would love to win this book, but if not, I’m definitely buying a copy for myself.
And I don’t have a favorite chef – I find the ones on TV annoying 🙁
