Robin Robertson's new cookbook, Nut Butter Universe, is now available!
I tested for this book last year and am excited that it is finally out. Robin has sent me a copy and now it is time that I pass it on to some lucky person. I always like to support our vegan cookbook authors by getting my own copy of the books I test for, so this is up for grabs. Simply leave your nuttiest comment and check back on the first day of March to see if you are the winner. You will have until March 3rd to respond with your mailing address otherwise I'll have to move on to the second winner.
Only US residents, please.
Here are some of the delectable recipes I enjoyed during testing:
 |
| Peanut Butter Cups |
Robin makes the popular cups vegan and even better than the original.
 |
| Handcrafted Granola Bars |
These granola bars were a huge hit during our camping trips. They are incredibly good!
 |
| Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake |
Who doesn't like cheesecake? This one has two delightful layers of flavors.
 |
| Spinach Walnut Crostini |
We loved this crostini! Creamy spinach on crispy bread. Mmm.
 |
| Walnut Butter Waldorf Wrap |
This sandwich shames the original waldorf salad. I never thought anything that had components of the dated salad could ever be this wonderful.
 |
| Linguine with Thai Pesto |
This is amazing! Pesto is a natural using nuts, and twisting the traditional pesto into a Thai pesto is nothing short of sheer genius.
These are just the tip of the iceberg. Be sure to enter the contest and check back if you are the winner on March 1st as determined by Random.org.
OK, I can't claim I said this, but Steven Wright is pretty darn nutty, and this is one of my favorites of his: "I once put instant coffee in a microwave and almost went back in time."

ReplyDeleteWe've deemed our butter knives "nut butter knives" for they see much MUCH more nut butter than actual butter in their lifetime. :)

ReplyDeleteI love Robins book this would make a perfect addition to my collection.
ReplyDelete"I used to be able to name every nut that there was. And it used to drive my mother crazy, because she used to say, "Harlan Pepper, if you don't stop naming nuts," and the joke was that we lived in Pine Nut, and I think that's what put it in my mind at that point. So she would hear me in the other room, and she'd just start yelling. I'd say, "Peanut. Hazelnut. Cashew nut. Macadamia nut." That was the one that would send her into going crazy. She'd say, "Would you stop naming nuts!"" - Best in Show
ReplyDeleteAw nuts, I like to win this book for mt nutty family!

ReplyDeleteRobin's cookbook would be a perfect addition for my not-nutty-enough collection! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteQ: What kind of nuts always seems to have a cold?

I didn't know if we could do dirty jokes so that one is really bad and cheesy.

ReplyDeleteThat Waldorf Wrap looks and sounds amazing! It would be the first thing I make!

ReplyDeleteI'm not usually nutty but I think it might be a good substitution for being so serious (usually).
ReplyDeleteGood luck to all the entrants and hey, thanks for a great new blog to follow.
