Anne Burrell Cookbook Giveaway
I’ve got a giveaway for you all today that I am super excited about. I’m giving away TWO COPIES of Chef Anne Burrell’s first cookbook – Cook Like a Rock Star.
I have been a huge fan on Chef Anne’s since the first episode of her cooking show on the Food Network and have tried tons of her recipes. My favorites – this pasta and these cookies. Chef Anne’s recipes are chocked full of flavor and easy to follow and her show, complete with grunting and excessive hand gestures, is a pleasure to watch. (Thank you Food Network for not replacing her with some ridiculous cake-making competition show.) As if her show wasn’t good enough, Chef Anne has outdone herself yet again with her first cookbook.
Chef Anne’s infectious personality transcends the pages of Cook Like a Rock Star, with recipes that will challenge seasoned home cooks but also serve as an inspiration for new cooks. She is the real deal folks. Classically trained, she has rocked out some of the best Italian restaurants in New York City and rocked out The Food Network. Now she is going to help you rock it out in your home kitchens with 125 rustic yet elegant recipes, all based on accessible ingredients, along with encouraging notes and handy professional tricks that will help you cook more efficiently.
My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Anne during her book launch event at the NYC Wine and Food Festival a couple of months ago. And let me tell you – she is just as sweet (if not sweeter) in person as she is on TV. Since I had already ordered a copy of the book, I am giving away the free copies we received for attending the event.
To enter, simply leave a comment on this post letting me know your favorite foodie in your life by 11pm on Monday, December 5th. For their love of good food, two of my favorite foodies are Chef Anne and my mom.
This giveaway is for US residents only. The winner will be chosen at random, notified by email and will have 48 hours to respond.
Good Luck!

Love this giveaway! Chef Anne totally deserves to win the Next Iron Chef..i love watching her on TV. My favorite foodies are my dad (for creating delicious recipes ‘a ojo’), my mom (for always trying to please everyone’s tastes!), and my sisters (one who appreciates anything considered dessert…her sweet tooth is out of this world; and my the other one, with a tiny tiny sweet tooth, can seriouslyy cook tasty meals!)
Angela Montanez — November 28, 2011 @ 2:41 pm
Love Anne Burrell! She’s such a rockstar!! Hmmm Favorite Foodies are my Dad and my twin sister. My dad makes the art of cooking stand out with his slow, patient, thoughtful, and intricate technique that result in meals that compliment yet can stand apart from each other. He reminds me of the Puerto Rican Tyler Florence. Love Tyler! My twin sister Olga is a brown sugar queen. She makes one of the best flans I have ever tasted. She deviates slightly from the traditional recipe and has truly created a “flanboyant” winner. Smooches!

That book sounds great. A pity I don’t live in the us.
Cheers,
Rosa
Tricia — November 28, 2011 @ 3:21 pm
My favorite foodies are my former roommates – Meagan, who traveled the deep south with me and padded my belly, and Anders– who fed me all the home cooked love the midwest could offer.
Rebecka@At Home with Rebecka — November 28, 2011 @ 3:34 pm
This is such a great giveaway! Love Chef Anne B! Currently, my favorite foodie is a fellow food blogger, Ann from Anncoojournal.com. She can bake like no buddies business!
A Plum By Any Other Name — November 28, 2011 @ 3:46 pm
I’ve never seen anyone massage a chicken as passionately as Anne can. To say she’s a foodie is putting it mildly.
One of my favorite foodies, also of the Food Network Fame, is Ina Garten. Watching her helped me kick things up a notch (to borrow slang from another Food Network star).
Anna Mullican — November 28, 2011 @ 3:47 pm
One of my favorite recipes is Chef Anne’s baked BBQ, but I don’t own any of her cookbooks! My favorite foodie is probably Jamie Oliver because he always sounds so passionate when he talks about food.
Ashley A — November 28, 2011 @ 5:54 pm
My grandma is such a foodie! She is my favorite person to learn from and talk about food with.
MikeT — November 28, 2011 @ 6:17 pm
My favorite foodie is my 11 year old daughter who is fearless in the kitchen! She will try almost anything and is not in the least bit intimidated by any recipe.
Mirtha — November 28, 2011 @ 6:46 pm
I agree, Chef Anne should win Iron Chef. She rocks. My favorite foodies: my brother Dante, who passed away earlier this year. He taught me how to make basic cheesecake when I was about 11 or 12, and always looked forward to me walking in with one in hand. I truly missed him this Thanksgiving, he so loved Holiday meals. The other would be my 7-yr-old, he has quite the palate, since he was a baby, never liked packaged baby food, and now we discuss his lunch options on schooldays: he prefers his grilled cheese made with cheddar, he requests tuna salad for lunch, and enjoys roasted chicken sandwiches in his lunchbox. oh! and I must put kimchee on his sticky rice.
Amanda — November 28, 2011 @ 10:29 pm
I just recently really started paying attention to Anne, becoming a fan for sure! Lots of spunk, a refreshing point of view compared to the other chefs and hosts I usually spend time watching. And the hair is growing on me
My Nonna is who I look up to the most, inside and outside of the kitchen. She is the gate keeper to our VERY old family recipes and shares her techniques with only who she feels is appropriate, like me! When I come over unannounced, she can whip up the most delicious meal without even thinking about it – effortlessly and with ease. She is telling me about her day or life events then BOOM, there is dinner. Old style, rustic, Italian cooking is what she has passed down to me and I aspire to be just like her in the kitchen and in life. She is simply fabulous.
Susan — November 28, 2011 @ 10:32 pm
My favorite foodie is my great grandmother Evie. She went to work as a professional cook in the early 1900s. It wasn’t easy. She cooked over campfires in logging camps until the word got around that she was a good cook, and a large resort hired her as a chef. She never again cooked outdoors over a fire. She now cooked in a hotel kitchen featuring a wood stove and sink. She worked until she had put her 3 daughters through school so they would have a future. Luckily, several of her recipes still survive, and they are delicious! So, when you put it all together, Evie is my favorite foodie!
Bianca @ Sweet Dreaming — November 28, 2011 @ 11:27 pm
My favorite foodie is definitely my mom
I know, awww.
Ehi — November 29, 2011 @ 12:31 am
MY favorite foodies are:
1) Gaida De Laurentiis because i love love love italian food and thats basically what her show is about and i feel i learn a lot about her.
2) Me because im constantly trying to be better at my cooking and trying to invent stuff even though im new in the cooking scene. I have loved cooking and food forever though.
Jen — November 29, 2011 @ 12:41 am
My favorite foodie in my life is my mom, whom I didn’t even realize was a foodie until I became one and started talking to her about food more and more
Nancy — November 29, 2011 @ 1:25 am
My favorite foodie in my life is my nephew’s wife, she prepares amazing creations

mary jane s. — November 29, 2011 @ 1:32 am
I really like Christopher Kimball from America’s test kitchen..he always is easy to understand and all the people who work for him respect his gentle ways..When I see an episode on the tv on our pbs station I can write down how to make the meal, cookie, ham, turkey, ribs, and or anything easily..The food comes out great and it is a pleasure to take some time to watch and get great recipes and learn how to make food to come out tasting great..they did all the work and research and all I have to do is watch, write and pay attention…would love to win one of those cookbooks, love to learn how to make great recipes…
Jeanine — November 29, 2011 @ 7:28 am
My favorite foodie is still the one and only Julia Child. I used to watch her show as a child (she came on right after Sesame Street). She always seemed so cheerful and helpful despite cooking some pretty intimidating things.
wendy — November 29, 2011 @ 9:20 am
My fave famous foodie is Bobby Flay, I have such a crush! My fave non-famous foodie is my mom. She can cook circles around anyone!!
Carmen I. Robles — November 29, 2011 @ 9:33 am
Yes..Anne rocks!! I looove her energy and passion in the kitchen. Her
sense of competion is amazing. My favorite foodie is Bobby Flay, because
he is one of those chefs on TV who is SO, SO happy to welcome international
cuisine with such passion and respect the Hispanicl cuisine. As
far as I remember, he was one of the first chefs to say the word ( and use
it on his recipes) “cilantro” without any shame.!! He is so passionate to showcase a green plantain, too.
I even saw him dancing “Salsa” on one of his famous ” Throwdowns”.
Go Bobby!
Amanda Thompson — November 29, 2011 @ 9:37 am
My favorite foodie is my husband ~ he loves to play around in the kitchen and create his own recipes!
Sara M. — November 29, 2011 @ 9:54 am
My favorite foodie is my husband, although he can be quite picky. He definetly knows what he wants and how to make it. A close second would be my mother-in-law, she always makes the neatest things!
Sarah E. — November 29, 2011 @ 9:59 am
I love Anne – I’m actually watching Next Iron Chef right now and rooting for her
My favorite foodie, however, is Paula Deen. I mean, what’s not to love? She’s hilarious and bubbly and her food….*drool*
Diane — November 29, 2011 @ 10:10 am
I love Chef Anne but also Paula Deen!
Cassandra Goduti — November 29, 2011 @ 10:14 am
My favorite foodies have been Giada De Laurentiis, Alton Brown, Bobby Flay and Anne Burrell. Paula Deen I love because she has a quite a personality. They all provide interesting recipes to try. They all inspire me. I love to try all different flavors. Let’s face it, I love them all.
Katrina — November 29, 2011 @ 10:23 am
My favorite foodie? Hmm, that’s a tough one to pick just one. There aren’t too many on the Food Network that I don’t really like. I might just say I’m my favorite foodie.
I like Anna at Cookie Madness for her extreme love of cookies just like mine.
Of the 5 left on Next Iron Chef, I actually like all five of them and would be happy with any of them winning, at the same time, I secretly think Anne should win. She has the most kitchen stadium experience and is so fun to watch!
lisbet diemer — November 29, 2011 @ 10:26 am
Elisabeth David, I grew up cooking from her books, she was the one that took me to the middle east, south of France and made me love to cook.
Norma — November 29, 2011 @ 10:30 am
My favorite foodie has to be my deceased mother-in-law. She could cook like no body I had met before. Very good cook and teacher. I learned a lot from her and she was very willing to share and teach. My favorite TV star is Anne Burrell. She is so much fun to watch! Would love to win her book! Thanks for the give away!
Liz @ Fresh Plate — November 29, 2011 @ 10:40 am
Great giveaway! <3 Anne Burrell! My favorite foodie is my nana. She centers her days around meals and I really don't think she has ever cooked something that didn't taste awesome!
Monique — November 29, 2011 @ 11:05 am
my favorite foodie is an eclectic bunch of yelpers that i have grown to love. they have become my dining companions. I never had nothing to do anymore! i just call them up and we feast!
i had the pleasure of meeting chef anne at a wine launch and she is as sweet as pie, indeed! And her personality is all over the place in a good way!
Miya — November 29, 2011 @ 11:07 am
I would totally rock out in the kictchen with this book. My two favorite foodies? My mom…. she taught me most of what I know… the rest I picked up via trial and error. Chef Michael Symon. He is a home grown chef and he makes me proud to be a Clevelander.
Laura — November 29, 2011 @ 11:28 am
Oh, my. Chef Anne! I <3 her!
In my life, my two favorite foodies are my dad and my boss. they're both inventive, try new things and indulge me when I say "Sushi is a food group and so is ceviche!
Lorean — November 29, 2011 @ 11:57 am
LOVE Chef Anne and Bobby Flay
I would love to see whats in her cookbook!!!!
Coretta Campbell — November 29, 2011 @ 12:03 pm
My favorite foodie is Bobby Flay and Paula Deen. Woo hoo!!! I love to cook and try new recipies…..
Denise — November 29, 2011 @ 12:10 pm
I really like Ina and I have tried several of Anns recipes, and boy, would i love her book ! Really !!
Deb — November 29, 2011 @ 12:16 pm
Would love the book, love watching her! My favorite foodie was my auntie!
Adrienne — November 29, 2011 @ 12:27 pm
I really like almost everyone on the Food Network and the cooking channel. But my love of creative cooking comes from my grandmother, who raised 7 kids during the depression with a garden and what little they could buy at the store. What flavor in her foods and what abundance at the table !!
I saw her house recently and what used to be the “big garden” was about the size of a small driveway !
Christi P. — November 29, 2011 @ 1:11 pm
I think that my favorite foodie is Ree Drummond….I love her recipes and some of hers has become my family favorites.
Karen Brennan — November 29, 2011 @ 1:13 pm
My first favorite foodie is my cousin Courtney- she is ALWAYS coming up with new dishes and snacks, such as a sweet potato salsa.
After years and TEARS of my mom trying to teach me to cook and bake (and of me flat out refusing), I finally taught myself to do both, and now run a home based bakery! My mom passed away 10 years ago and never got to see me in the kitchen, but I know she would be so proud.
My second favorite is myself!
Mitzi Hamblin — November 29, 2011 @ 1:17 pm
I love her and would love to win this cookbook my favorite foodie is Paula Deen and love butter
Corisa — November 29, 2011 @ 1:20 pm
My favorite foodie would be my grandmother ! She loves trying new recipes and has old recipes that are some of my favorite foods !
doris Kempf — November 29, 2011 @ 1:26 pm
I have two favorites, Anne and Ina. I try not to miss their shows. Their recipes are user friendly and delicious.
KimB — November 29, 2011 @ 1:57 pm
I love watching Anne on the Next Iron Chef competition!
My favorites in the kitchen have to be Holly Smith (Cafe Juanita in Kirkland, WA), and Molly Stevens for her All About Braising cookbook.
Love the giveaway, thanks!!!
Bunny — November 29, 2011 @ 2:16 pm
My favorite foodie in my life would be my husband. He loves food and is very willing to try anything!
Kay Valdez Noble — November 29, 2011 @ 2:27 pm
Awesome give away! Love to watch Anne, she is someone I would love to be friends with! As far a a favorite foodie… non celebrity would be my Abuela, who at a young age I loved hanging on to her apron strings, learning to cook the dishes of my culture. A celebrity favorite would have to be Ingrid Hoffman, a Chica after my own heart!
maureen — November 29, 2011 @ 2:56 pm
I love Giada and Ina Garten and one who is known to me but a friend from college.
Glenda Aponte — November 29, 2011 @ 3:17 pm
I don’t usually enter giveaways but had to enter this one, I love Anna! My favorite foodie is my fiance Jason he loves to cook. I go into the kitchen and can’t find a thing to make, he goes in and comes out with a delicious meal with whatever he finds in the cabinets! He is very creative and has a great palate. I sometimes think that we would be in real trouble if he wasn’t so limited with his diet (he is a final stage renal failure patient) because if he could eat it all, we would!
Cynthia — November 29, 2011 @ 3:49 pm
Aside from my J-Lo being my favorite foodie (lol), I would say my cousin Elina. Everytime she cooks for me, you can tell that it is with so much love. She genuinely enjoys cooking…and most importantly, it is soooo delicious. She also experiments and makes everything as ‘healthy friendly’ as possible. Hmm..now I am getting hungry
Jeanine — November 29, 2011 @ 4:17 pm
My favorite foodie is most certainly my mom…she can make everything taste good and knows the best thing to order when we are dining out. She is a rockstar herself and we would love this cookbook!
Theresa Picoriello — November 29, 2011 @ 5:01 pm
This is really difficult i have soooo many!!! I just can’t choose! anyone with a passion for food and cooking. I would love to win a copy of Anne’s cookbook. she is awesome. Thanks, for the opportunity.
Michael — November 29, 2011 @ 7:38 pm
My favorite foodie, hands down, would be my mom. She made the best bacalaitos any human has had the priviledge of enjoying. I miss her and all the love she poured into her cooking.
Emma Brunner — November 29, 2011 @ 8:50 pm
I hope you don’t hate me for saying this but I’ve never seen Anne Burrell’s show before. But I love trying new things so I hope I win a cookbook so that I can. My favorite foodie is my mother in law. She even has her own food blog!
Lisa S — November 29, 2011 @ 9:28 pm
This is a tough one but I would have to say it is a tie between the Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond and Brown Eyed Baker. I love Anne Burrell too and hope I win!!
Aggie — November 29, 2011 @ 9:39 pm
I would have to say my dad and my grandpa are 2 huge foodies in my life! They love food as much as I do!
Great giveaway! Thanks!!
Stefani — November 29, 2011 @ 11:01 pm
My favorite foodie is my mom! She loves to go to places with great reviews and places that are known for certain dishes.
Isabel — November 29, 2011 @ 11:10 pm
Love Chef Anne!
My favorite foodie is my husband….he can take nothing and make something!!
Sandy — November 30, 2011 @ 8:40 am
My favorite foodie is my Mom! She has made everything from scratch since I was a little girl. This weekend we start our Christmas cookie baking marathon. She is a magician in the kitchen and an inspiration. My grandmother taught her everything and she has now passed it on to me and I hope one day to be able to pass on my cooking skills and family recipes to my children. My Mom stands behind good old fashioned home cooking no matter how busy life gets or what happens and I thank her for it!
Traci — November 30, 2011 @ 5:29 pm
My favorite foodies are my dad, Bobby Flay, Rick Bayless and Paula Deen!
Keishala — November 30, 2011 @ 10:02 pm
I think this is such a sweet giveaway. I am jealous that you had the opportunity to meet Chef Anne. Her cookbook sounds amazing.
My fave foodie hands down, is my 4 year old daughter. She already keeps me on my toes with her energy and sense of humor, but she inspires me to try new things in the realm of cooking. She loves helping me in the kitchen and loves to try new things. The other night we made eggplant and spaghetti roll ups. We see things in the grocery store and she asks to try it. For a mom that loves to cook and be inventive, having a child like her is such a joy.
So this cookbook, if we won it, would go to great use with two major food lovers in the house.
Diane Decker — November 30, 2011 @ 11:49 pm
Well, it’s certainly not my 23-year-old daughter, who will eat exactly five things that I cook: homemade Runzas, sloppy joes, fried chicken, potato salad; I guess that’s only four things. My foodie heroes are Jeni Britton Bauer (ice cream!) and David Lebovitz (more ice cream!)
Monica Wadsworth — December 1, 2011 @ 9:45 am
My favorite foodie is my Aunt Jean. She truly gets all of my sugar addictions and she knows how to use all of the good, “fattening” agents in her dishes. Oh, how we laugh about our love of foods!
Lyndsey @ Sit. Stay. Cook. — December 1, 2011 @ 2:23 pm
My favorite foodie is my husband – he shares my love of all things delicious!
odm — December 1, 2011 @ 9:49 pm
My bil for sure- bestbcook ever
Lisa @ Sweet as Sugar Cookies — December 1, 2011 @ 9:56 pm

Kimberly — December 2, 2011 @ 9:20 am

Pam — December 2, 2011 @ 11:54 am
My Favorite foodies are Anne Burrell and Guy Fiere!
Anna — December 2, 2011 @ 2:02 pm
My mother is my foodie! She is the best cook out there! and if it has to be somebody for Tv – ina garten
Patty — December 3, 2011 @ 7:02 am
My daughter, Molli, who worked in the kitchen for four years while she was at college. When she was home, she bought me good knives and taught me to use them! We love to cook together and eat in restaurants together, with other family members.
DENISE — December 3, 2011 @ 12:36 pm
Hi Eliana:
This is a great giveaway. I have been reading your blog for a while and very much enjoy it, but I have never written a comment. I must say that my favorite foodie would be my mother, who is a great cook and I have learned many techniques from her. Like you, I am from the Caribbean and we love good food that is well cooked and seasoned with love. I must say that I also like your passion for food, so you would be my second choice as a favorite foodie. Your passion and fearlessness comes through in all the recipes that you present in your blog. Thanks for featuring so many diverse things in your blog, it has opened me up to a new world. Keep up the good work and keep those recipes coming.
Lori — December 4, 2011 @ 1:48 am
My first of two favorite foodies in the world is my budding chef daughter, who will be starting culinary school in the spring! She is following her dream of becoming a chef and making us and her new husband, who is active Navy military and currently deployed, VERY proud! She was heartbroken to learn that as a new wife, she would not join her husband abroad, but rather, have to wait a year state-side to see him again. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, she is carving (pun intended) out a life for herself and a future for her family, by taking her natural foodie talents to school. You go girl!
The second of my two favorite foodies is the source of my daughter’s talent – her grandma/my mom. The woman can cook! I was blessed to have a mother that was not only a talented cook, but a loving mother who patiently taught me the value and love of cooking. I couldn’t be more blessed. Thanks mama!
Lisa Galen — December 4, 2011 @ 3:10 pm
I love Chef Anne and Sunny Anderson the best (hard to narrow down, because I love all the FN Chefs as well as other’s i’ve reserached). I love to cook, but don’t have the space needed to experiment as much as I’d like. Chef Anne gives me the knowledge of what to do on many things that i love as far as stylish comfort cooking and Sunny gives me the more relaxed comfort food with a little updated flair. I didn’t know how to cook besides boxes and cans until a few yrs ago so FN has totally changed my life (and my families stomach!)
Teanna — December 5, 2011 @ 12:11 pm
My favorite foodie in my life is my fiance! He will eat ANYTHING and he is always up for finding fun, new adventurous foods and restaurants! And he’s the one who got me into cooking! I wouldn’t even eat a mushroom before I met him, and now, I have a food blog! haha!
Cheryl Berrios — December 5, 2011 @ 8:04 pm
My favorite foodie is my friend Jen- not only is she a fabulous cook & wonderful hostess who loves to entertain, she always finds a way to tweak recipies into a low fat/healthier version.
They’re still delicious and she’s always willing to swap recipes with me!
The Duo Dishes — December 14, 2011 @ 9:08 am
Anne is fire fun! She has a great cookie recipe that we adapted to make one of our staples.
Velva — December 14, 2011 @ 9:35 pm
The NYC Food and Wine Event… I am drooling. It can’t possibly get any better.
My favorite foodie….Is Thomas Keller. My favorite foodie that I collect all the cookbooks and constantly make their recipes…Ina Garten.
My favorite foodie that I am up close and personal with…My husband. Who loves food as much I do.
Cheers.
Velva
