$1000 Culinary Shopping Spree from Tastebook

June 17th, 2008 in General Food & Wine topics |

Tastebook.com was featured on The Cheap Gourmet blog this past March, when I discovered their unique website which allows you to create your own cookbook. Since then, I’ve been playing around with the different templates, adding my own recipes and attempting to choose recipes from Tastebook’s vast collection. Each cookbook can hold up to 100 recipes and I’ve currently narrowed down my choices to around 450 recipes.

Today, I was heading over to Tastebook.com to continue working on my new cookbooks when I discovered they are hosting a $1000 Culinary Shopping Spree. The winner receives a $1000 gift card and can buy anything they desire at Cooking.com.

If you’ve never shopped at Cooking.com, you’re in for quite a treat. They have everything under the sun to help make you a Cooking Superstar! And, their prices are very reasonable. I purchased a fabulous Margarita Glasses and Pitcher Set for only $29.95 a few months ago. The set is constructed from thick glass. The pitcher holds 84-ounces and the glasses hold 10-ounces each. I bought the set specifically for my mind-altering pink margaritas. I wanted clear glass to highlight the gorgeous color of the drinks

The $1000 Culinary Shopping Spree is easy to enter. Three entry options are available including:

Register to become a Tastebook.com member (it’s FREE!)
After becoming a Tastebook member, share recipes with your friends and family for additional sweepstakes entries.
Enter the contest by submitting a post card through the U.S. Postal Service.

Complete details can be found at the Tastebook.com website. The contest runs from June 11 through July 14th and is open to residents of all 50 U.S. states, with the exception of Rhode Island and Colorado. Entrants must be 18 years of age or older to participate.

I absolutely love the Tastebook cookbooks and plan to create different ones for my favorite friends and family members based on their culinary preferences. Currently, Tastebook is offering a 20-percent discount on your first custom cookbook. Details can be found on the Tastebook.com home page.

If you are creating a Tastebook cookbook, please let me know. I’m always looking for people to share recipes with and would love to hear about your favorite culinary delights. Using the Tastebook templates, I can easily add your recipes to my customized cookbooks. So, don’t be a stranger. Drop me a note and let me know your favorite Tastebook recipes.

Good luck with the contest. Although I hope I win the $1000 Culinary Shopping Spree, I’d be just as happy to hear you won it. Don’t delay… go to Tastebook.com and become a member. However, I must warn you, it’s addicting and will make you salivate like crazy. You might want to attach a bib before you start browsing the recipe collections, LOL.
