Win A Copy of Ducasse Made Simple
I've noticed lately that the trend seems to be for good food made in a style more in tune with today's busy lifestyles. But there is still room for elgant fare. In pursuit of that a great tool is the new Ducasse Made Simple by Sophie, a cookbook which features 100 recipes from master chef Alain Ducasse's encyclopedic Grand Livre de Cuisine. Sophie Dudemaine, the author, adapted 100 of his most famous recipes for the home cook making them simpler but not overly dumbed down. The book includes some classics such as Cream of Pumpkin soup, Lobster Newburg and Crepes Suzette. Each recipe has its own spread with a picture of the food on the right. It's not the most lavish presentation ever, this is a book clearly meant to be used rather than simply flipped through. Which is why I'm hoping that people with a love of kitchen experimentation will take part in today's contest. I'm giving away two copies of this cookbook. To win, leave a comment telling me what food you most look forward to when the weather gets colder.
To enter, all you need to do is leave a comment below before 5:00PM Eastern, Friday, October 10 2008. We'll randomly choose two winners amongst the eligible entries.
Some other important details:
* To enter, leave a confirmed comment below answering the question above.
* The comment must be left and confirmed before Friday, October 10, 2008 at 5:00PM Eastern Time.
* You may only enter once.
* Two winners will be selected in a random drawing.
* Two winners will receive the Ducasse Made Simple cookbook valued at $35.
* Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 18 and older.

Butternut and all the other squashes. I love them roasted and in soups.

Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin! A versatile squash that is available in abundance this time of year. Roast the seeds, blend it in soups, saute chunks with meat, roast whole meals inside them for an edible shell!

Turkey! Nothing beats the cold like a belly-full of that nap-inducing bird.

I'm looking forward to Butternut Squash soup, Apple Cider Donuts and White Chicken Chili. Unfortunately, living in South Florida where it is currently 89 degrees, I may have a while to wait before the weather cools off.

My winter favorites are the dishes that provide wonderful smells in the home while cooking for hours - like Pot Roast!

A salad of winter greens, walnuts, roasted beets and goat cheese; beef bourguignon for the main course, and pumpkin brulee for dessert.

Tomato/Vegetable soup!

Osso Bucco, a nice risotto, and a cabernet sauvignon, = winter weather comfort food

Elizabeth Oct 6th 2008 5:23PM
My favorite cold weather comfort foods are grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup, and my mother's "Tater Tot Casserole".

Pick me, pick me! I didn't win the exercise pants, so now I plan to eat great food and get fat(ter).
