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!)

Well, Living here in Europe (my address is a US one), I LOVE real Italian pizzas.. usually doesnt matter what toppings are on it.

But, if I had to say one that I pick most often, it would be ham, olives and mushrooms. Maybe some onions too.

or I love one with Eggplant..

now Im hungry.

[Jennifer]

My favorite pizza is just plain ole pepperoni, with thick crust please. I don't usually make my own pizzas but I have several favorite pizza places in town.

[Shawn K.]

I'm a pizza fiend! My most favorite pizza would have feta, garlic, and capers. Of course, eating that pizza may cause some bad breath..but what the heck? :)

Shawn K.

[Lori H]

I love margarita pizza the best. Nothing like fresh tomato, basil & mozzarella to make my mouth water. Honestly, pizza is my favorite food group. And yes, I realize it isn't actually a food group in most people's eyes!

[Bee]

Pizza has to be my favorite food... one I especially like is with roasted veggies, yum! :-)

[Cindy]

Hmmm... my favorite pizza.... I would have to say chicken and pesto. Love all Pizza though! All types of crusts and toppings.

[Michelle D]

I loooovveee pepperoni and green olive pizza!! with a very cold beer :)

[Lisa]

My absolute favorite pizza...is quattro stagioni. I first had this in Italy...and i has a boiled egg on one quarter, prociutto crudo (raw) in another; then artichokes in another and finally either olives or mushrooms in the last corner...this is the style in Rome....where I lived for 6 months! While I make pizza in my oven with a stone...I have NEVER grilled one!

[Jean in NH]

Ummmmmmm......pepperoni and mushroom! Scrumptious!!

[Johannah B]

Mushroom and chicken ~~

[Jennifer]

Ohhh I just love chicken garlic pizza. So very yummy.

[Kelli B]

Hi! That sounds like an amazing cookbook! I absolutely love pizza. I like all the exotic pizzas that are out there. My favorite one I have found is a Mediterranean Pizza that I found at a local restaurant in GR, MI. It has a thin crust, almost pita-like, with olive oil, feta, tomatoes, olives and other great toppings that I can't seem to remember right now! Just trust me, it's delicious! Have a great weekend!

[Lilann]

The pizza I like the best would be a stuffed crust pepperoni pizza.

[Joanne]

If I buy take out pizza it is usually chicken club or ham and mushroom. If I make it from scratch - shrimp, feta and spinach.
Yum!

[Kim Houser]

I did get the Chris Farley quote, how funny! I love deep dish piza with canadian bacon, green peppers, hamburger and lots of cheese. Would LOVE to have a copy of this book. Thanks for the opportunity!

[charna scarpati]

My favorite pizza has to be spinach, ricotta and bacon. I got introduced to it by a local pizzeria that had it as there monthly specials and now I can't stop having it lol.

Charna

[Kim H.]

My favorite pizza has very thin crispy crust with chopped fresh roma tomatoes, chunks of fresh mozzarella, olive oil, crushed garlic, black olives, and mushrooms. Delish!!

[Melissa Singfiel]

Hmm. . . I love any pizza with lots of fresh veggies on it. This cookbook sounds amazing! I'd definitely want to try the sun dried tomato and pesto pizza with artichokes and asparagus. Yum! That is right up my alley!

[kerianne]

I sadly do not have a grill but it is going on my birthday list because your fruit pizza and that ooeey goooey chocolate banana deliciousness NEEDS to be made by me!! My favorite pizza right now has roma tomotoes and artichoke hearts, maybe with some green peppers too!! MMM :)

[Jodie]

My favorite is grilled pizza with feta, spinach, tomato and kalamata olives! YUM!!

[Angela Knopf]

I followed your daughter's link to this page, and I'm so glad I did! That Berry Pizza looks Deeee-licious! My favorite pizza is Chicken and Green Chile. But, if that's not available, I love EXTRA Pepperoni.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!

[stampmonkey]

This cookbook looks really promising, especially with your enthusiastic stamp of approval. Thanks for giving us the chance at it, Donna! ;)

My favorite pizza (that I know of) is BBQ Chicken Pizza. I first enjoyed this little bit o' heaven at a CPK restaurant, but have since learned to make it at home. Mmmm-mmmm good!!

[Elizabeth M.]

I love pineapples on my pizza or just a cheese pizza with plum tomatoes chopped up and spread all over the top. That is sooooo good.

[Paula]

I love the ham and pineapple pizza. Any pizza has to have a lot of cheese. the only time I have had pizza on the grill was when our electricity was out and we had to cook a frozen pizza on the grill! That was an interesting experience! The kids thought it was hilarious!

[Stephanie]

my fav pizza has kalamata olives, capers, goat cheese and roasted garlic!!!

If I am in Europe - I love a pizza with anchovies and olive oil sprinkled on top!

[Mary Ellen S.]

Just started grilling pizza's this summer on my Traeger Wood Pellet Grill! Yummy! Everything tastes fantastic on these grills!! I can't say enough about them. Anyway I love Anything with Basil, Lots of Garlic and Fresh Tomato! I'm not sure I will be able to wait to WIN this book though. My sister and I have been sharing our favorite grilled pizza recipes and I know she will HAVE to have it also! Thanks for the info!

I love making grilled pizza for my family. One of my favorites is artichoke, sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives! I wish I had it right now.

[Julie]

My favorite pizza has a lot of meat on it, peperonni, bacon, sausage, chicken, anything!!!

[Jill]

If we just get pizza from our local pizza joint I love to get bacon, onions, and green pepper. If we go out to somewhere that does pizza a "little more exotic" I like to try goat cheese, basil, and fresh veggies!

[Karin]

A favorite: Onions, mushrooms, peppers, pepperoni sausage, etc on it from a local pizza place. One of my favorites I make is a simple sauerkraut/cheese pizza. mmmmmmm

[Michelle Rosborough]

BBQ Chicken

[Cathy - wheresmydamnanswer]

I just added to my Christmas list the Pizza Oven insert for the bbq from Wlliams Sonoma -A girlfriend told me about it Sunday and said when the pizza is done it is amazing just like from a real pizza oven!!

[Gail S.]

I think if I would let them, my kids would eat pizza every evening! My personal favorite pizza is a taco pizza (I am a mexican food nut) Second favorite would be canadian bacon. Congratulations on your 100th (and more) post.

[Hélène]

My favorite pizza is pesto, ham, asparagus & gruyere cheese. So yummy.

[Anne]

I just love pizza but my favorite was a white pizza in LA. It was soooo good. No, I change my mind, it is a three cheese pizza in Denver at a little family place. Plain but the best I have ever had.

[Mikesgal]

Growing up on a limited budget our family's favorite pizza was one with mozzarella cheese, sliced hot dogs and sliced dill pickles. Congrats on your new cookbook!
