Win-It-Wednesday: “Extraordinary Vegan” and “The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Cakes & Cookies” Cookbooks
Just in time for the holidays, our Win-It-Wednesday is all about good cooking and good baking! This week sponsor is Book Publishing Company, the publishing company for these two incredibly awesome gluten-free and vegan cookbooks that are being featured.
These Win-It-Wednesday’s prizes will get your creative juices flowing in the kitchen. The first cookbook is “Extraordinary Vegan” by Alan Roettinger. With 30 years of cooking experience, Alan shares tons of his culinary wisdom so we all can cook, and eat, deliciously healthy!
There are over 100 recipes using plant-based foods that will open your eyes (and your taste-buds!) to a whole new world of vegan living. His cooking style and tantalizing recipes will make you want to take chances in the kitchen that you have never taken before. All the recipes in this cookbook are also gluten-free. Some of my favorite recipes include the Roasted Cauliflower and Beet Salad, Spicy Minted Slaw, and the Pears in Pomegranate Juice.
This cookbook is perfect for those planning on making the upcoming resolution of eating and living a healthier lifestyle in the New Year.
The next cookbook prize is “The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Cakes & Cookies” by Laurie Sadowski. If you’re looking for some awesome recipes for gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and soy-free cakes & cookies you have to check out Laurie Sadowski’s newest cookbook “The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Cakes & Cookies”.
Laurie Sadowski, a food enthusiast with celiac disease (who is also a vegan) wrote this cookbook to share with us her sweet side of 
baking. Her newest cookbook is a collection of to-die-for cakes, cookies, bars and squares – all of which are perfect for those with celiac disease / a gluten-free lifestyle, dairy allergies, egg allergies, and also a vegan-life style, ADHD and autism.
Just looking at these recipes make me want to dig out my baking pans and rolling pin. They range from the decadent (Triple-Chocolate Layer Cake or Two-Bite Chocolate-Covered Cherry Cupcakes, anyone?), to the traditional (comfort foods like New Old-Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake or Autumn Apple Cake with Cider Sauce), to the dinner-party daring desserts (Molten Lava Mini Cakes with Raspberry Sauce or Hazelnut Biscotti, to name just a couple).
I really like this cookbook because there are also a lot of tips and tricks to make gluten-free baking a success… something we all can use every so often. =)
Also… take note!!! This Win-It-Wednesday will be featured for a THREE week period… so make sure that you enter each week for THREE chances to win! The FIRST WINNER will be randomly selected to win a cookbook of their choice from the entries received before Tuesday, December 17, 2013 at 11:59 PM EST, a SECOND WINNER will be randomly selected to win from the entries received between Wednesday, December 18 and Tuesday, December 24, 2013 at 11:59PM, and a THIRD WINNER will be randomly selected to win from the entries received between Wednesday, December 25, 2013 and December 31, 2013 at 11:59 PM … SO – make sure you enter THREE times to win!
How can you win?
Easy!
Reply to this blog and let us know which one of the two cookbooks you would like to win (Me? It’s a toss-up! The sweet side of me says, “Go for the cakes and cookie cookbook”, while the healthy side says, “Do it! Go for the scrumptious vegan / gluten-free cookbook!” Ahhhhh… such a toss-up!)
Good luck, eat healthy… but remember that cookies and cakes are good once in a while too =) … and as always …
Be Free!

Both books sound great but I think I would choose the Extraordinary Vegan. Thanks for the giveaway.
December 11th, 2013 at 7:58 am
I would love to try these cookbooks, especially the one with cookie recipes. I am always trying to find recipes for my celiac grandson who is gluten free.
December 11th, 2013 at 10:02 am
Wow what a choice. I think Extraordinary Vegan Entertaining wins out by a nose with me! I am always looking to expand my culinary repetoire.
December 11th, 2013 at 1:46 pm
I would go for the vegan cookbook. I have been cooking vegan style mostly since april and would love to add a cookbook in there to try new things.
December 11th, 2013 at 5:54 pm
They both sound like wonderful cookbooks. I would love to have the The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Cakes & Cookies cookbook. I really miss cooking things like this.
December 11th, 2013 at 10:36 pm
Would love the Extraordinary Vegan! Thank you!
December 12th, 2013 at 11:08 am
Gluten free vegan cookbooks are hard to find. I hope to win the Extraordinary Vegan cookbook.
December 12th, 2013 at 8:11 pm
OMG either would be nice my dh who is truck driver is celiac and its hard to find on the road so I make before he leaves. new ideas are awesome on tight budget. Good luck to all.
December 13th, 2013 at 7:59 am

December 13th, 2013 at 11:28 am
Wow, what a decision. Both sound good. Maybe the Cakes and Cookies book wins for me
December 13th, 2013 at 1:56 pm
I love sweets, I would go for the Cakes and Cookies book.
December 13th, 2013 at 5:45 pm
Both sound good, but would love the Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Cake and Cookies cookbook.
December 14th, 2013 at 5:46 pm

December 15th, 2013 at 12:34 pm
I just received temporary custody of my niece. She is 5 yrs. old and is gluten, egg, dairy, shellfish, corn and soy free. How do I make sweets for my sweets? By this wonderful book, “The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Cakes & Cookies” Cookbook…That’s how!!!
Thank you for the opportunity to learn how to start this culinary adventure off on the right foot!
December 16th, 2013 at 9:16 am
Im a sugar junkie who loves to bake. Always adjusting recipes is a pain! I would love bakes, cakes and cookies!
December 16th, 2013 at 10:35 am
I think if I had to pick one I’d pick the cakes and cookies although the other would be great too!
December 16th, 2013 at 5:36 pm
I eat vegan because of my food allergies, so either book would be great for me. I’m allergic to milk (all dairy), eggs, soy, beef, and bananas.
December 16th, 2013 at 8:18 pm
I would love either book , but if I have to choose it would have to be the extraordinary Vegan book.
December 17th, 2013 at 12:18 pm
I would love to get Extraordinary Vegan to expand my vegan and gluten-free options!
December 17th, 2013 at 2:53 pm
Probably the allergy free cook book but……while I’m not really interested in going vegan, I AM interested in some good recipes using vegetables. I’m always looking for ways to increase my vegetable intake. Speaking of which, it’s time to go get my three servings in with breakfast……….
December 17th, 2013 at 3:30 pm
Extraordinary Vegan because good gluten-free is hard to find.
December 18th, 2013 at 9:12 am
My daughter is vegan and I am gluten free – The Extraordinary Vegan is the perfect book for the both of us!
December 18th, 2013 at 10:08 am
I would choose the cakes and cookies book because I have trouble converting cookie recipes over to gluten-free.
December 18th, 2013 at 11:12 am
Yay! Another chance to win Extraordinary Vegan!
December 18th, 2013 at 11:36 am
This would be a tough choice. We are attempting to eat meatless one or two days a week so The Extraordinary Vegan would be wonderful to have. However, we also have family members with food allergies as well as celiac disease so the allergy cookbook would also be great to have. I think I would be happy with either one.
December 18th, 2013 at 11:38 am
PS. Thank you for offering this give away!!
December 18th, 2013 at 2:48 pm

I would love the extraordinary vegan cookbook most, although they both look amazing!
December 19th, 2013 at 7:50 am
I would use either one as I love to experiment with new recipes.
December 19th, 2013 at 12:26 pm
I would choose Extraordinary Vegan. I love baking, but New Years resolution of eating healthier and cutting back on calories are right around the corner!
December 19th, 2013 at 6:44 pm
I would choose either; both sounds fun to experiment with:)
December 19th, 2013 at 8:35 pm
The Extraordinary Vegan would be great.
December 20th, 2013 at 8:10 am
Both sound great, but cakes and cookies would be my choice, I love desserts!
December 20th, 2013 at 8:21 pm
This time around I’ll go for the Cake and Cookie book.
December 26th, 2013 at 10:31 am
I am betting The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Cakes & Cookies cookbook is just as amazing as the other one. I would love to have this cake and cookie cook book.

Loving this choice of book, selection is great! In our family it would have to be gluten free one as we have a few with that sensitivity.
December 30th, 2013 at 5:40 am
I would live to win the cookies and cakes, so that way I could teach my granddaughter how to cook, Many people around here and on the street enjoy getting stuff and we could make them some for the holiday. And it would also teach my granddaughters some thing in in heart and kindness .
Thanks, Beverly Peets

December 31st, 2013 at 12:07 pm
