I was recently contacted by an associate from the foodie site, Yummr, about a promotion they are having this month. During their "Hot July Foodie Reads Giveaway," they are giving away copies of some wonderful books, which are being given away courtesy of Houghton-Mifflin Harcourt Books.
The one I have reserved for my readers is "Serve the People," which is a fantastic book to read. I have already devoured quite a bit of the copy they sent for my reading pleasure and it's a great book. It's essentially a story that follows a journalist as she eats and cooks her way through authentic Chinese cuisine. And even though it's a great story, it's loaded with recipes, liberally sprinkled all throughout the book.
All you have to do is simply leave me a comment by midnight on July 31st. One will be picked at random on August 1st.
But even if you don't want a copy of this book, or if you aren't the lucky winner, you'll want to be sure to stop by Yummr. It's a great website loaded with all sorts of things any foodie would love. There's all kinds of giveaways, recipes, and surveys to take, all in the midst of a great community of other food lovers. You can even upload videos and pictures of your own creations!
Don't forget to leave your comment for a chance to add this great read to your library!

Looks like a great book!
Sounds like an interesting book. I'd love to win a copy!
I love cookbooks that are like journals or diaries-I think you learn a lot about the people when you "dine" with them. I will buy this even if I don't win. Thanks for offering and letting us know about it.
That sounds like the kind of literature I would love to devour!
So many great discoveries! First this book, "Serve the People" which sounds like a yummy read, and another great website, Yummr. I already feel like I'm a winner! :-)

Chinese food is something I have never even attempted to make, so I would love to get inspired by this book.
My friend's brother and his friends are finishing up a 6 week culinary journey through China. They are trying to learn how to cook asian cuisine. I'll have to see how the results taste!
Thanks for the heads up about Yummr, and for having this book give-away! I'm really going to have to have a give-away of my own soon. =)
Found your site about two months ago and forgot to bookmark it. I couldn't remember the exact name of your site, but knew it cracked me up and was something about not being successful in cooking. Finally last week, I found it again. Hooray! Count me in on the prize-drawing, please.
