Fan Appreciation Giveaway: Jerusalem Cookbook

I have a fun one for you today!  I just want to celebrate the fact that the And Here We Are... facebook page has over 2000 fans.  I so enjoy interacting with all of you there-- you are a group of such interesting, fun, and positive people-- and I love the community we have going on here and over there.


To celebrate, I am giving away one of my favorite cookbooks, Jerusalem (the one pictured is my copy-- the American version is a little different.)  This is the perfect time of year to dive into this book, as many of the ingredients Yotam Ottolenghi highlights are at their best in the summer months.  I have had this book for a few months, and totally love it.  And I'm picky about cookbooks.

It's colorful, inspiring, and the writing is wonderful.  And you know how I feel about all of those flavors!  For a little preview you can even download three different recipes from amazon for free-- they are in the book description. Of course, you can also check out my shakshukah recipe that was inspired by the author, too.
This giveaway is open to all of my page fans, anywhere in the world! 

How to Enter:
  • You need to be a facebook fan! (OK, Google+ people are awesome too-- you can also enter, even if you're not on FB!)
  • You can get some extra entries for being a newsletter subscriber, and for sharing this giveaway on facebook. 
  • Please leave a separate comment for each entry, telling me how you earned each one.
The giveaway ends in two weeks, on July 11th.


Thank you all for being so wonderful.  Good luck!

    Oh my. I just signed up for your blog this week. I found you posted by another blog I read. I love the human experience. Blogging is, for me, one of the most incredible aspects of technology. I can meander with a traveler, travel the globe, learn the personal aspects of the blogger, and feel connected beyond my little brain space. I read your "About Me" and was taken in. So, here I am. Thanks for putting yourself out there. I follow you on FB and signed up for the newsletter; I save everything!

    Okay, I posted on FB. Because my life goal is world peace. Everyone has a story. We just need to stop and listen to the stories. I think your story is one more stop on the path. Thank you.

    David Leibovitz and Ina Garden rave about this book too so you are in good company. I was just thinking about my cookbook collection this morning and how I still feel attached to them even though I tend to just google for recipes. I would love to add this to my collection.

    Wow, what a beautiful book. My Aunt and Uncle went to Jerusalem last February and it was such a tremendous experience for them. This book would make a lovely addition to their kitchen, and what a joy it would be to surprise them with it :)This is one of my favorite blogs/sites, you always have the most inspirational posts.

    I was impressed by your inspiration for Shakshuka (sp)/ from this book. I'm guessing the rest would be delicious too! Thank you!

    I like seeing your posts pop up in my feed and inbox partly because you are celebrating being an expat (so many paint themselves as permanently homesick or gone native and i'm glad to not be the only one who feels neither fits my situation), and i'm so happy for you when i see other real food bloggers i've been following for ages repost your stuff on FB or Pinterest.

    Thanks Ariana :-) I've just made a version of Ottolenghi's butternut squash and tahini dip for my children's packed lunches which I think might be from this book? Absolutely delicious and bodes well for the other recipes!

    It is on Facebook, perhaps through Cheeslave or someone else, that I have found your blog. Even though I only eat fish and chicken and no dairies, I find your recipes very beautiful and inspiring. Then, reading your adventures in the world and seeing how you chose to live is also inspiring to the "starting to live differently" girl that I am. Thanks for all your ideas and thoughts shared.
