“Raw for Dessert” and a giveaway

by Chocolate-Covered Katie on August 14, 2010

Top o’ the chocolate-covered day to ya!

.

So glad you all had fun with yesterday’s shennanigans. ;)

Now, time for some raw fun.

‘Cause who doesn’t love raw desserts??

.Giveaway time! A few months ago, I received an email message from Rick, with the Book Publishing Company, asking me if he could send me some of the books they publish.

Um, free vegan cookbooks? Yes please!! I didn’t know he’d send me so many: Speed Vegan, More Great Good Dairy-Free Desserts Naturally, Nonna’s Italian Kitchen, Sweet Utopia, and—my favorite—Raw for Dessert. So far, I’ve made two desserts from the Raw for Dessert cookbook (err, un-cookbook, since nothing’s actually cooked). What I like most about this cookbook is that many of the recipes—although raw—are simple to whip up (i.e. no dehydrators or laundry lists of ingredients). Early next week, I’ll highlight one of the desserts I made from the cookbook. But today is your lucky day. The people at BPC are offering:

.

A free copy of Raw for Dessert to a lucky reader.

How to enter: If you have a blog, simply link back to my blog (any post).

If you don’t have a blog, leave a comment on the raw cheesecake post, answering the question of the day.

.

The giveaway is open to everyone, and it ends one week from today.

Stay tuned, because BPC is allowing me to publish one of the raw-dessert recipes in the cookbook :).

I entered as well (: Does The giveaway is open to everyone mean I don’t have to be a US resident in order to participate? ’cause I’m European, but’d love to try some simple raw dessert.

This post reminded me of a dream I had last night where I was making your chocolate chip cookie dough babies. :) I was sad when I realized it was a dream, lol.

I entered too, it sounds like fun. I don’t think i’ve ever made a raw dessert (besides the Fudge babies). I’ve been meaning to try the cheescake, but with cocoa powder.

I entered the giveaway too. Love your recipes.
It’s nice to find your recipe versions for the raw desserts I’ve tasted in restaurants. (I made raw chocolate brownies using the recipe on http://www.juliemorris.net). Though they turned out more like fudge using too high of a speed on my new Vitamix!
