COOKBOOK GIVE-AWAY ~ PIZZA ON THE GRILL ~ AND My 100th Post!

                                      
My 100th Post!
YAY! This is my 105th post and what better way to celebrate than to give away a brand new cookbook?

Pizza On The Grill
You've all heard me go on and on about Grilled Pizza. Well, here's your chance to have your own copy of the book that started this insane obsession I've had with grilled pizza lately. PIZZA ON THE GRILL by Elizabeth Karmel and Bob Blumer is a must have cookbook! Seriously folks, this book is THE bible of all pizza books. I'm sure most of you have heard of Grilled Pizza by now. Upscale restaurants everywhere are putting them on the menus. If you haven't, you must be living under a rock somewhere or at the very least, in the middle of no where in a van down by the river! (Did any of you get that Chris Farley quote? It was from a Saturday Night Live skit. Tell me someone got it!)

The Taunton Press
Janel, my partner in crime over at The Taunton Press, has graciously given me a second copy to give away to one of my lucky readers. You really didn't think I was going to give away MY own copy did you? Heck no! I have to tell you though, I absolutely LOVE this cookbook! I wouldn't give it away if you paid me and Janel knew that! Thanks for being so generous Janel! (Heads Up! Janel already sent me another book to give away!)

I have to say I'm pretty boring with my pizza. I like plain cheese. I always like to paraphrase "Home Alone" when the kid gets his own cheese pizza and says, "Mmmm...a whole cheese pizza just for me." Every so often I'll get a veggie pizza if I'm craving veggies.

By the way, I did get the SNL quote, but it's funnier if you yell the end, like, "In a van DOWN BY THE RIVER!"

[Cheryl Sims]

I like a super deluxe pizza with all the trimmings. But, I must say that dessert pizza looks good enough to eat!!! I haven't gotten brave enough yet to try to make my pizza on the grill so if I win this book, maybe it will help my courage. Thanks.

I fell in love with this combo earlier in the summer: pepperoni, kalamata olives, pepperoncini, and fresh mozzarella. YUM!

[Sarah]

You had me at Marinated Flank Steak with Maple Chipotle Sauce & Roasted Vegetables. Holy moly that sounds good. I made a pizza that is inspired by living in Japan, where they seem to put corn on all of their pizza (not sure if that is true, but it was true everywhere I went!). Regular pizza (sauce, mozz) with white sweet corn, garlic, and fresh baby spinach. It sounds crazy, but it is actually really good! :)

[Christina]

My favorite pizza is a margherita pizza. I am a huge caprese salad fan, and this pizza just blends some of my favorite things.

[Mary]

My favorite pizza has to be prosciutto, fig, gorgonzola. Delish!

[Cathy - wheresemydamnanswer]

My favorite pizza is a pizza: Kalamata olives, Sundried tomatoes, Grilled onion and Feta cheese. YUM!!!
Congratulations on your 100th post!!

[Danielle]

My new favorite which I grilled last week and told you about is my basil pesto, caramelized vidalias with feta! YUM!! Though, if I'm not making it my favorite pizza is sausge from Twins Pizza in Providence!

[Amy]

My favorite pizza is one I had in Rome last year, it was a potato pizza. Thin slices of potato atop light sauce and cheese. So yummy. I thought it'd be gross, and only ordered it because it was all they had left so late in the afternoon. So yummy.

[Carrie]

Do I have to pick a favorite!?!
I guess if I must, then I'll go with chicken wing (as long as I get to dip it in blue cheese)! :-)

[jen]

I love barbeque chicken pizza!

[Sue]

I have two favorites - white pizza loaded with veggies or scrambled egg and bacon. Yes, you're reading that right.

[Melinda W]

My favorite part is the crust!! I am a big dipper of pizza into a good marinara sauce or garlic sauce so I like a very good crust that is crunchy using corn meal on the bottom. I love bacon, sliced tomatoes, ham, pineapple and fresh mozzaralla cheese - this is making me so hungry right now!!!!!

[flip lamken]

Thin New York style pizza with the everything including peppercinis and anchovies.

[Heather vB]

I love peppers and onions on my pizza! But, a pizza I just made for the first time last week that I LOVED is made with fresh basil, mozzarella, and tomatoes. It was delicious!

I got the Chris Farley quote...I love that SNL sketch!

[Connie G]

I love any kind of pizza without a tomato sauce. Lots of veggies!! Chicken alfredo pizza is yummy!!

[Lisa Imerman]

This cookbook looks awesome and we love grilled pizza.

My favorite grilled Pizza is one on my homemade honey whole wheat crust (I need to find some more variety with my crusts)with homemade pizza sauce, a bit of homemade basil pesto, pepperoni (from a local smokeshop), carmelized onions, sauteed mushrooms and fresh mozzerella cheese. Heated till melty and the crust is crispy, oh so good!!

[brilynn]

I got the Farley quote, I use it all the time!

My favourite pizza is too hard to pinpoint... but I just discovered I really like spicy olives with fresh pineapple on my pizza, great sweet/spicy combo.

[Lorie]

My favorite pizza is canadian bacon and black olives...yummy!

[Liliana]

My all time, absolutely 'died and went to heaven' favourite pizza is with buffalo mozzarella, freshtomatoes, shredded basil and drizzled with olive oil - Pizza Margherita.
I ate this pizza in Italy and pizza took on a new meaning!!

[Cindy King]

That cookbook looks AWESOME! The flank steak and maple.... That sounds so good. I really need some new ideas for pizza, I'm getting bored with my favorite, sauted mushrooms and onions. We just got a George Foreman electric grill. I have to try grilled pizza on it!

[natalie]

ohhh i love grilling pizza! pineapple and ham pizza is my favorite!

[Vicki]

I am a PIZZA ADDICT!!!

Must have deep dish, thin crust, round, square. Lots and lots of veggies, onions, mushrooms, peppers, pepperoni and sausage. Topped with tons of mozzarella cheese and sprinkled with parmesian over all.

what more can I say.

[Debby Boltman]

My favorite pizza is lotsa lotsa gooey yummy cheese. I need a good dough recipe. Got one of those? I also need to convince my dh to grill a pizza. He always looks at like I must be crazy :-}

[Lori A.]

I have never tried pizza on the grill. I mentioned it to my husband the other day when I saw it on your blog. Definitely something I'd like to try! My favorite pizza is a thick crust (or even a stuffed crust...mmm!) with canadian bacon and mushrooms!
