Chronicle Books is having a contest to win a haul of books. All I have to do is list some of their books, I’d most like to haul here on AmoXcalli up to $500.00 worth and I’m automatically entered. Best part is, if I win the list one of my readers that comments will win the list too! Hope you like my choices which are in no particular order of preference.
1) I Love Macarons – 14.95
Why? Because I love them and want to make them with Jasmine and Aiden.

2) Tartine Bread – Gorgeous, who doesn’t love bread? $40.00
3) The ¡Salpicón! Cookbook $ – Mexican Cuisine! Yeah baby! We’ll see some of these up on Dona Lupe’s Kitchen.
4) Tartine $35.00 – Alice Waters wrote the forward and its pastry. Need I say more?
5) The Birdsong Bible – $125.00 – Because Jasmine is really into learning about birds and this would be a great activity with the grandkids. Plus, its beautiful.
6) Absinthe Cocktails – $19.95 – Because who doesn’t want to learn to cocktail mix with a green fairy? ?
7) The MOMA Modern Playhouse $19.95 – Fun and educational for when the grandkids come over.
8) Monet’s Impressions $15.99 – Gorgeous book and a great way to teach kids about art.
9) Ana Sui $60.00 – Jasmine loves fashion and this icon is fun to watch

10) A Child’s Garden of Verses $19.99 – A classic and simply beautiful.
11) Flour – $35.00 If you haven’t tried those stickybuns you’re really missing out.

12) How to Cook Like a Top Chef $29.95 – Forward by my hero Rick Bayless and yes I’m addicted to Top Chef
http://www.chroniclebooks.com/index/main,book-info/store,books/products_id,8622/
13) The Country Cooking of Ireland $50.00 – Hey I’m half Irish and it’s a stunning book.
14) Tapas – $22.95 – Mmmm tapas… enough said.
15) Moleskin Large Sketchbook $17.95Â – for all those bright ideas.
So that’s it, that’s my list. As you can see, I love to cook, I love art and I love learning. Chronicle has it all and I hope I win my list.  Either way, it was fun visiting one of my favorite publisher’s websites and drooling over yummy books.
Great list! 🙂
sounds like you have a nice list here!!
I must say, that is a VERY impressive list and I would be happy to win it too! I would have maybe added a couple music books, but the selections are fantastic.
I never got to the music section lol. I hogged most of it with that amazing bird book.
I didn’t even get to the cookbook section making my own list, and now I really regret it! These are great!
Here’s my list:
