Christmas Giveaway at Lisa's Kitchen

I recently discovered that Madhur Jaffrey has come out with a new cookbook entitled "At Home with Madhur Jaffrey." I own several of her cookbooks, including "Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking", "Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian" and "Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking", among others. I was curious about her latest collection and without even having a chance to browse through the book before ordering it online, I bought two copies, thinking I would give the second copy as a gift, or use it for a giveaway to thank all of my readers for their loyal support.

Though her latest cookbook is not vegetarian, there are plenty of tempting and healthy dishes for vegetarians and vegans to try and enjoy. Those that fancy meat and fish will also not be disappointed. The curious cook will find recipes for spice blends, starters, soups, vegetables, dals, grains, condiments, drinks and even desserts. One of the most appealing aspects of Ms. Jaffrey's books is that she makes Indian cuisine accessible and easy for those inexperienced with traditional Indian cooking and for those who are more familiar with Indian techniques, the possibilities to created unique and wholesome dishes are endless. All of her recipes can be made with ease without sacrificing flavor or nutrition. Her descriptions of Indian traditions and cooking techniques are invaluable and the personal anecdotes are charming. Well written and beautifully presented, this is certainly a volume you will want to add to your cookbook collection.

Soon I will be sharing her recipe for Chickpeas with Mushrooms which turned out beautifully.

I've decided to offer my readers a chance to win this cookbook. For a chance to win simply leave a comment in the comment section by the 25th of December. I will ship out the book to the winner of the random draw in the New Year. Because of postage costs, I am sorry but this giveaway contest is only open to residents of Canada and the US.
