HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BAKING - WIN A BOOK
According to amazon.com, BAKING FROM MY HOME TO YOURS turned one-year old this week! Hooray and Happy Birthday!
It's been a sweet year for me and BAKING, a year in which I've gotten to meet so many of you on the road and in the blogoshpere - thank you all for being so kind, generous and supportive, and for being such creative and energetic bakers.
To celebrate this birthday, Houghton Mifflin, my publisher, and I are giving away 10 autographed copies of BAKING.
To win a copy, just leave a comment with your name and the name of the person to whom you'd like me to sign the book and I'll pick the 10 winners at random.
The deadline for entries is October 10, so you'll have about two weeks to put your names in the virtual hat (and I'll have time to sign the books before I leave for France).
Happy birthday, BAKING and MANY, MANY THANKS to all of you who have been such good friends to me and the book.

If chosen, please sign the book "To MD, MH, and Mason".

I love your book (as well as Paris Sweets). The Korova/world peace cookies are the most amazing cookies ever. If I'm lucky enough to win, could you sign it to "M and P"? Thanks and happy book birthday!

I would love to win this wonderful book and give it to my friend, Emily. She's a great baker but somehow doesn't yet have this book in her collection.
Happy Birthday to this amazing book and thank you, Dorie, for all the inspiring cookbooks you've written!

I love this cookbook, Dorie! Yes, I DO have it, but my mum doesn't, and I'm sure she'd love it as much as I do. She'd really like the fact that I occasionally think about her, so it's in this spirit that I'll enter your contest.

Hi, Dorie, I am a big fan of your books and own a couple of them, but not this one. It would be really great if I could get an autographed copy!
