Corn: A Love Story and Cookbook Giveaway

Are there two foods that scream summer more than corn and tomatoes? Not for me. The first bite of either one — and on  really perfect days, both — fresh from a garden is part of summer’s most amazing allure. So I was pretty  very excited to get a review copy of Lisa Skye’s new book, I Love Corn — first because I am totally with her on this love and secondly because I wanted to get some new corn ideas. Oh, because we are going to give one of you lucky readers your very own copy for FREE!

Right now my main corn plan is sticking it in boiling water for about two minutes, salting it and chomping down. I know there’s waaaayyy more to it than that, as Lisa shows in spades. Get ready to be inspired….and of course enter our little contest.

I Love Corn offers some tips on cooking as well as recipes from renowned chefs and folks like, yes, Martha Stewart. The recipes are a mini-trip around the world and cover everything from appetizers to desserts. If you thought corn could just be steamed or grilled, this book will open your eyes. Want to win the book? Just leave a comment below. We’ll pick a winner at random on Sunday and ship it out pronto — just in time for you to get cooking!

How tasty does this Fresh Crab and Corn Parisian with gnocchi with pancetta look from Jonathon Sawyer? The answer is very.

Or what about this grilled corn, Mexican style? Yes, please!

And finally this yummy looking popcorn pudding the salted caramel corn and butterscotch sauce. I practically wanted to jump into the page to eat this. You could be enjoying this in your very own kitchen. Just leave a comment below and we’ll let you know Monday morning if you’re the lucky winner!
