For our latest cookbook giveaway, we're very pleased to be able
to offer 5 free bundles of two cookbooks from the Canal House
folks: Canal House
Cooks Every Day & Pronto. For those of you who may not be familiar
with the Canal House collection, here's a brief history: In 2006
two women: Christopher Hirsheimer, the founding editor of
Saveur, & Melissa Hamilton, who was a
director of Saveur's test kitchen, began a new business -
Canal House - which was originally a photo and design studio
for cookbooks and magazines. However, with
cooking as their first love, they inaugurated a series of
seasonally themed cookbooks for the home cook, with new books
being published three times a year. Pronto is the eighth issue, reflecting their
emphasis this year on Italian cooking.
In addition, they write a food blog - Canal House Cooks
Lunch and earlier this year also published a
standalone cookbook, Canal House Cooks Every
Day, which won the 2013 James Beard Foundation Award winner for
General Cooking. Their food has been described as "a
synthesis of rustic European classics and American standards
." To give you a flavor of what you might win, here's an essay from the two
women that describes a recent lunch they planned.
This contest is for five lucky posters to win a bundled
collection of Canal House Cooks Every Day and
Pronto. To win one of the cookbook sets, just

Autumn; and down under, late Spring. Living in New England,
I'd have to go with apples.
