My publisher, Chronicle Books launched a fun Give Books campaign yesterday. They are partnering with authors, artists and blogs to encourage people to give books for the holidays and I’m helping them spread the word. Books are a perfect gift don’t you think. There’s one for everyone. For every age, for every interest. They are personal and the right one can really show the recipient how much you care. They feel good to hold and they make you feel good to give.
I know because I’m giving away 10 books courtesy of Chronicle Books.
I stuck with all cookbooks and I tried to find a good mix for keeping or gift giving. It’s up to you.
Want to see which ones I picked from their website?
Good… let’s check out some sweet reads! I think these would all come in pretty handy for holiday baking.
Now since I’m an equal opportunity eater,
here’s another set of 10 books you might want more.
These are less sweet and much more savory.
Want a chance to win one of these groups of ten?
You choose which one.
- Just leave a comment on the blog and let me know which group of ten you’d like to win. Sweet or savory?
- The deadline to enter is
6:00 pm ET on Thursday, November 15, 2012SORRY, TIME’S UP! Winner announced below. - One winner will be chosen at random and announced sometime Thursday evening on this post.
Good luck guys!
P.S. Here’s a post on Chronicle’s blog if you’d like to try and win one of the other sets of ten books chosen by others.
And now through December 31, enjoy 30% off + free ground shipping on all holiday orders at ChronicleBooks.com! Just enter discount code GIVEBOOKS at checkout.

Yay Redheadwriter! I think I might have picked savory, too. Those covers all look amazing. Enjoy!
Sweet!
Everybody loves sweet in my family. My dad, my grandfather, …
Sweet I want to learn how to make more amaazing desserts :D
So hard to choose, but sweet is definitely more up my alley since I love baking so much.
That sweet collection is pretty amazing. Though throwing that True Blood cookbook in the savory collection makes it far more tempting. May have to look that one up…
The Sweet set would be sweet! :)
Savory would be totally awesome!
Sweet set……how is there even a question between the two…
Sweets for me!
Im all for SWEET!!! =”D
So hard to choose! You have such great taste in books! But, lets face it, sweets win every time for me, so sweets please!
Definitely sweet! I would bake up a storm!
sweet is awesome
I NEVER WIN!! I would say Sweet. But isnt that what everyone is saying?? :D LOL!!
Ooey gooey mmmmm….sweet!
Savory all day!
These are amazing!! What an incredible giveaway! Love the sweet ones, thank you!
Sweet… I love baking things for my friends and family
Considering that my sweet Pinterest board is more than twice as large as my savory, I would have to go with sweet!! It looks amazing!
Savory :) Thanks for the give away!
What a great selection! Savory would be my choice, but I may have to purchase a few regardless of the drawing!
Oh, this is hard! I cook savory as much as sweet. But I like sweet more, so sweet please!
Really hard to choose… They all look great!
But i think I would prefer savory
Btw, looove your Blog! :-)
Both sets look amazing, but I think I’d have to go with the sweet set!
Sweet!

Oh my! My son and I just went through this list saying “yummy” to just about every SWEET book in the list…. so sweet it is!
Fantastic books! I can hardly choose between the two, and am even more torn seeing as how there’s a True Blook cookbook on the Savory side. I do believe I’d have to go with the Sweets if absolutely forced to make a decision. :) Thanks for the giveaway!
Sweet sweet sweet!!! Thanks!!
SWEET. I love baking anything that’s sweet & sugary. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love my cookbooks….SWEET! no doubt about it…
Both look so great, but I’m thinking savory!!!
As much as I would love the True Blood book, I’d have to pick the “Sweet” collection! It would get much more use in my kitchen! ;)
What a wonderful giveaway! I would love any of those SWEET books! :-) Thanks so much for hosting!
Savory because I have some of the sweet!
its a tough choice as they all look SO good. However, I would choose savory. THanks for offering the giveaway!
Sweet….cookiebookies!!

I would love to win sweet! Cookbooks are so awesome. I firmly believe that if you can read, you can cook
I’d like to win the savoury set – mostly because it includes the Newlywed Cookbook and I’ll be getting married next May!
I would love the sweet set, so many possibilities! Thanks!
Lots of great books, hard to choose…..hmmm will do with sweets please! Thank you
I have to go with the sweet set since you can never have too many dessert cookbooks!
Love ’em both. Sweet please!
Sweet!! Thank you!
Savory, please! So excited!
Sweet!
Sweet books are my favorite! :) And it’s my birthday today! That would be the best birthday present EVER!
I would totally select sweet – more for the Verry Merry Cookie Party – my girlfriend hands out home made cookies every year for Christmas in these great tins and they’re just perfect. I’d like to compete with her this year – lol…Love you blog BTW.
Sweet!!
I would love the savory books, but both sets look interesting!
Hard to choose, but I think I have more sweet cookbooks, so I will go with Savory!
Sweet!! I just can’t get enough.
I would like savory! Thanks for the chance!
I need to start cooking something other than dessert so I have to go with the Savory… They all look wonderful, though!
You can’t lose with either set…but I’ll take sweet.
Thanks!
Oh my! The sweet books of course:D
Wow I would definitely like the sweet set, I am in need of sweetness right now in my life. Thanks for sharing Bakerella..
Sweet please!!!
Sweet! Lots of neat recipes that I can bake with my 12 yr old girl!
I would love the savory set. As much as I love sweets, I really need to stop obsessing over treats and get more ideas for feeding my family dinner stuff!
As tempted as I was by the Tartine book in the sweet set, I found my mouth watering more over the set of savory books. I may have to pick up a couple of them regardless!
The Sweets! Because your book is in that set :)
Shoot! Thats a toughy! They all look like great books, but I think I would have to choose the sweet books :) Im more of a sweets girl myself :)
i would have sweet! might need a new book case tho….
I don’t know….you pick for me!!
Love, love, love books – cookbooks especially. I collect the SWEET ones!!
The sweet looks good, but I’m Savory all the way! DELISH! :)
Sweet :)

Savoury for me, I’m lacking in savoury recipe books at the minute! x
I’d love the savory set!!
Wow, tough choice, but I’d have to say SWEET!!!
Sweet :)

We seriously have to choose one or the other?! Both sets look amazing. I would love a couple books from each! If I had to choose I would go with the Savory . . . no the Sweet . . . okay, the Savory, final decision!
?sweet?sweet?sweet?
What a cool giveaway!! I would love to win the Sweet Set <3
sweet ofcourse!
I would LOVE the savory collection . . . .only because I own a handful of the sweet one :) Already!
Sweet all the way. I’m sure the savoury ones would be good but who has time for cooking when there’s so much baking to do :)
It would have to be SWEET. Thanks for the ideas….going to check out chronicle books now…30%off. Let the Christmas shopping commence!!!
Have to go with sweet, especially interested in Gluten Free Baking, as I just recently discovered my gut is much happier gluten free
Sweet Please. Thanks a bunch!

Do difficult to decide… Think I would go with the sweet:)
That’s a toughie, but I’ll have to go with savory. The cheesemonger book won me over!

Definitelt SWEET!!!
Wow, that’s a tough one! I would have to say sweet though! Thanks for the great giveaway!

Sweet for sure!
I would love to win the “Sweet” set of cookbooks! I could check off a few gifts on my giving list! Thanks for a great giveaway! Happy holidays!
I would love the sweet set. Just looking at them makes me happy
Savory please :)
Sweet!
It would be the sweets for me!
Mouthwatering sweetness please. I’m missing Dome’s Cafe chocolate mousse cake so badly.
Either would be amazing, but Savory for me!!
Oh so hard to choose. I would love either set, but I’ll say Savory for now.
I would love the Savory set!! Would help me out as a newlywed who has no idea how to cook for my husband!!
Sweet!!!
I would love one from the Sweet category. They all seem great but I am practicing my baking skills and who doesn’t love sweets?
sweet…would love to know the outcome for each option.
Sweet, of course!
Savory!
definitely sweet….hope I win!
SWEEEETTTTTT <3
Definitely the sweet. Without a doubt!
Sweets. Definitely Sweets.
I was just about to write Savory, but the sweet tooth in me grabbed a spoon and gave me the evil eye… so I guess I’ll go with Sweets… but I would be happy to win either!! :D
I would love the savory!!
Mmmm, as much as my hips hate to say it, I LOVES me some sweets :)
Savory Please :)
I love sweet and savory, but I would have to go with the sweets.
Sweet! I want these! I need these! :) Pick me, pick me!
I would be happy with either set, but I think I’d pick savory this time around.
It’s so hard to say!!! I love sweet and savory…but I suppose I should say sweet as a budding and aspiring baker :)
I, too, am an EOE and would love either set! Of course, if I have to choose, I’d go with SWEET. Desserts never let me down!
Savory!
I usually choose sweet but I think this time I’ll choose savory.
I would have to go with sweet, although I want all of them!!!
Last night I tried to submit a post but posted in the wrong spot. My post last night stated that I wanted sweet since my life for the past 13 months has been pretty sour. That post was me being selfish in the fact that I would love to indulge in the gorious sugary Heaven that those books offer. However, this morning, after looking at the past 13 months, I have come to realize that it has been (and is still being) my family that had gotten us through everything we’ve been through. So, I change my mind to SAVORY for I would love to share those recipes with the people who have been my backbone. Thank You.
I have lots of sweets recipes, but not so many savory – so I think I’d prefer savory books!
Thanks for hosting another wonderful giveaway!
I’d like to win the sweet set of course! :)
Savory…I’m sweeted out after 10 dz cupcakes,50 cake pops, a batch of brownies and 24 cupcake cones this week!! Yowza…I need to go into business;)
Thanks Bakerella!!
I would absolutely love to have the sweets collection of books.
Definitely the sweets!
Sweet please!
So hard to choose, but… Savory!
Tough choice, my mouth is watering from both sets. I’ll have to go with Savory.
I would normally go for the sweet, but I’ve been trying to impress my husband with my meal cooking skills, so I would have to pick SAVORY this time around.
Savory please! :)
Could probly use more help in the savory dept, but I would LOVE the Sweets set!
It is hard but I guess I would go for sweet set!:)
My husband and I have sweet tooths so we have to go for Sweets… LOL!
I am afraid I will need to select Savory to enhance our menu sometimes and get out of the rut… Sweets is a good one…but this time I will go for Savory…
Yowza! I would love to win either set, but I think the Sweet would push me out of my comfort zone as I’m not much of a baker. They all look amazing, you are in great company!
It has to be the SWEETS!!
SWEET! 100% absolutely! ;D I absolutely adore your collections you’ve chosen…many of those sweets ones I’d never seen before (yours I have, of course) so I’ll be adding them to my list if I don’t win. ;)
Sweet!!
The sweet, because you’re so sweet!
Thanks!
Sweet!
The SWEETS collection please! Thank you for the giveaway!!
Superdelicious choices…I’d go for the Sweet Set. My family would love so many of them but I admit, Handheld Pies would be tough to pry out of my hands! Many thanks too for the discount code! Cheers!
I’m normally a sweets person, but I think I need the Newlywed Cookbook, since I’m getting married next year!
Savory…. :) Yummy
I’m totally for the sweet collection! But I think I’m gonna have to get that True Blood cookbook anyway. :)
Oh my goodness.. can I have half of each?? No? Ok, savory it is then!
Sweet! Those books look awesome and just in time for holiday baking!!!!
Definitely the Sweets set! I really want to get my hands on the Tartine collection, and of course the holiday cake pops!
SWEET SWEET SWEET
I love me some sweets! But savory would be good for everyday cooking! So either one would be great!
Savory, please. To help me get out of my recipe rut.
I want the sweet ones!!!!!
Tough choice!!! I think I’ll pick savory!
Oh wow! I would LOVE to win the Sweet set!
Sweet!!!
sweet!!! …drool…
sweet, savory, sweet, savory….oh, how to decide???
To be healthy would take me the direction of savory, but sin is calling loudly…..sin is winning….
Sweet, Sweet, Sweet all the way. but truly, I’d be thrilled either way.
Sweet! No, Savory! No, Sweet! It’s too hard to choose. I have loved ones who would love any of them… I’m going to follow my stomach on this one and go Sweet!
Sweet! Oh so many yummy sweets!
