It's time for another Bloggy GiveAways Quarterly Carnival over at "Don't Try This At Home."
Once you leave a comment to win my giveaway - head on over to the carnival and try to win something else too.
Once you leave a comment to win my giveaway - head on over to the carnival and try to win something else too.
My give-away is a brand new copy of the book called "Field Guide To Produce...How to identify, select, and prepare virtually every fruit and vegetable at the market". The book includes color pictures.
I like this book b/c it includes alternative fruit and vegetable names (good for researching), history, storage, ripening techniques, preparation methods and some recipes.
This book does not include a whole lot of global produce - but it's still a good guide to the more likely items you'll find in a larger supermarket that carries some "exotic" produce. I slip my copy of this book into my purse when I go shopping. I liked it so much that I bought another copy to give away to one of my few faithful readers - or to one of my soon-to-be-faithful readers.
So if you are wanting to take an adventure on the food frontier with us - all you have to do is leave a comment on this post with your name and your blog URL or email address so I can contact you if you are the winner.
This giveaway is open to those with an USA address. I'll be out of town until Sunday - so when I get home, I'll close the drawing and pick a name.
Only one comment per person.

Ooh, looks like a fun book!
Oh, I hope I win the book this time. I still haven't decided what to giveaway!
I so so so need this book.
We joined a CSA last summer and I needed help id-ing and cooking some of the neat veggies. Thanks for a great giveaway!
This is a fantastic prize! I would love to win this -- please enter me.

This is the perfect book for me! I would LOVE to win it!
I'm always trying to figure out how to pick the best stuff. Pick me!
I would love this! I never know how to select and store produce!
Great giveaway!
I would love this for farmer's market season!
This would be very helpful.
I would love this book! I'm so bad at choosing/storing veggies!
I am really making a conscious effort to add more fresh fruits and veggies to our diet, but there are some things that I just don't know how to prepare. I could see where this would be particularly helpful if we start going to the farmer's markets this summer and trying new produce that is in season. I would love to be entered in your giveaway.

This looks like an interesting book!
I totally NEED this book! My friend and I run a produce co-op. I never even knew there was a field guide for us!. Someone should mention the authors name too, how funny!
Oh nice, what a great book to add to anyones collections.
This looks like a useful book.
We have been trying to eat healthier and by doing that trying new fruits and veggies. Half of them I have no idea how to prepare. This would be perfect!
I'd have such a fun time with this book! I'm trying to expand my eating habits but I'm a little overwhelmed by the variety of produce--how on earth do I prepare some of it? So please enter me in your giveaway.
This would help so much. I am always picking our beautiful looking apples and oranges at the store, only to get them home and discover the apples are mealy and the oranges are dry. I also have no idea how to pick out melons, or to properly store produce. I'd love to win! Thank you for the chance =)
I love this series. I have the book on stains and it is really a handy thing to have!
please stop by and enter my contests, too
This would be great! We signed up for CSA and would love to have ideas of how and what to make with all the produce we get!
What a useful giveaway! Please count me in :-)

What a great giveaway! I'm trying to buy more produce, but I don't really know much about what I'm looking at beyond the basics.
Wow looks great!
This book sounds helpful!
I could use this at the farmers market for some of the unusal produce
Hello, Your book sounds very interesting and I know I could learn a lot by reading it. I am also a vegetarian and would learn about more exotic produce. Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks,Cindi

We're participating in a CSA this summer. They promise a wide selection of produce. Many things I've never prepared before. This book would really come in handy!
Oh, neat! I'd like to try out our farmer's markets this summer, but was wondering how I'd know what to do with some of the things I'd find there - this would be great!

This sounds terrific! I have been cooking with whole foods for years, but our vegetable "palette" has been severely limited. I really need to figure out how to cook a greater variety!
Wow, this sounds like a great way to figure out how to cook some of the more obscure produce out there that I've not tried yet.
I'm looking forward to farmers market season and this would be a great resource! Thanks :)
Wow! I didn't know that this book existed until now! I would LOVE to have a copy of this book! Thanks for the great giveaway!
That looks like a fascinating book! My email addy is in my blogger profile, just in case I win!
This looks like a great book. I do not eat meat, so this book would be very useful.
oooh, would love this
Great prize. We are waiting for our farmers market to open. This would come in handy. Our goal is to start eating more fresh fruit and veggies.

I'm a vegetarian and this book will be a big help when i'm shopping in the outdoor market when we move to south east Asia in July.
Great giveaway! Count me in. bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com
I need this book-I could use some help with how to store things.
This would be such a wonderful book to own! I've seen it in the bookstore and know I'd like it.

This sounds like a great reference! I'm always wondering how to tell when things are ripe (One of those things they don't teach you in school... yet I use the quadratic equation all the time...).
We have the other field guides at work, but I haven't seen this one. This sounds wonderful! Thank you!

I could really use this book. I always pick out something wrong at the store. Then it doesn't keep by the time I am ready to use it. Thanks for the chance!

I could so use this! I shop at the farmer's market every week.
I didn't even know such a book existed!! We've been trying to branch out some and this would at least make sure we are picking ripe produce!
Thats awesomeness!!! I have a farmers market nearby and that would be helpful!
I am running my own bloggy carnival over at Seven Dogs and a Baby in honor of Connor's first birthday. There is over $530 in prizes! Go check it out!
