The Great Hungry? Cookbook Giveaway

Remember how the other day I was all “ooh, I love the Hungry? cookbook too much to give it away“? Problem solved! I pulled some strings asked nicely and have secured a second copy of the innocent cookbook to give to one of you lovely people.

How do I enter the great ‘Hungry?’ giveaway, Jem?

Simples! Leave a comment on this post. That’s it. No purchase necessary. You don’t even have to say something clever and witty – “count me in!” should just about do it.

Want a better chance of winning? Enter multiple times! Here are other ways you can enter:

  • “Like” the jemjabella.co.uk facebook page
  • Tweet about the giveaway, including a link to this blog post (max of 3 tweets per day, spam is for losers)
  • Follow @jemjabella on twitter (that’s me, hi!)
  • “Like” the innocent drinks facebook page (as a thank you to our generous benefactor)
  • Link to this post from your blog / tumblr / livejournal / whatever is trendy these days (each link gains you 1 entry)
  • Tell a friend about the contest, and ask them to leave your name in their comment

Leave a comment with the details of your individual entries (one comment or over several, it doesn’t really matter).

What’s the catch then?

No catch. We do need to enforce a few guidelines though:

  • Over 18s only (I’m fairly sure this counts as gambling, sorry kids)
  • There are no country restrictions — I’m the poor mug forking out on postage here
  • Please link to individual twitter updates or link/email a screenshot for protected accounts
  • You’ll have to tell me your Facebook name so I can check for genuine likes (if you’d rather keep your name private, email me instead)
  • You’ll also have to tell me your twitter username so that I can check for follows

Entries close on Friday 23rd September @ 7:00am GMT so don’t hang about. After the weekend I’ll tally the totals into a spreadsheet, jumble all the entries up and use a random number generator to pick a row. The winner will be announced next Wednesday.

Ready, steady, go…

Warning

This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.

As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.

Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

    ^ I second Rhys!

    Have you seen the innocent smoothie recipe book? My friend has it, its really good too!

    • Jem says: September 21, 2011 at 10:59 am # ·

      I haven’t, but the Hungry? book has smoothie, thickie and lumpy (ha) recipes in it too :)

    Count me in! ;) I’m already following you on Twitter (JenCarpeDiem), I’ve ‘liked’ both Jemjabella.co.uk (should’ve done it already, tbh!) and Innocent on FB (you’ve already got me on there) and I’ve just retweeted you.
    WHAT? DESPERATELY OBSESSED WITH COOKBOOKS? ME? NEVER! ;D

    yeah, what both of them oop there ^^ said. Though I refuse to ‘like’ anything on facebook, so you’ll have to do with a comment and some twittery stuffs :P

  5. Mumblies says: September 21, 2011 at 11:30 am # ·

    What a great idea Jem. Although I do like the look of this book and approve of your idea please do NOT add me to your list of people to compete for a copy. I can always borrow your copy and I’d like for someone else to have the chance to win. Good luck everybody :)

  14. Aisling says: September 21, 2011 at 2:39 pm # ·

    Oooh. I want this. Even though I have about 10 giant cookbooks that I never use because I’m such a naturally gifted chef on my own. ;)

  15. Mae says: September 21, 2011 at 3:07 pm # ·

    I need a cookbook in my life!

    I’m @maepaulino, that’s already my full name :)

  16. Vick says: September 21, 2011 at 3:17 pm # ·

    I searched for it in amazon, I found the actual cookbook and The Hungry Caterpillar :)

  19. Chantelle says: September 21, 2011 at 3:40 pm # ·

    This is super nice of you. Count me OUT, though. :D Are you sure about no country restrictions? Shipping books is super expensive.

    • Jem says: September 21, 2011 at 3:49 pm # ·

      Especially this one – it’s bloody heavy!

      I don’t mind, consider it my Christmas present to the internets :p

  20. Kathleen says: September 21, 2011 at 4:31 pm # ·

    Have shamelessly clicked on all facebook pages and posted sycophantic message on twitter x

  21. Katherine says: September 21, 2011 at 4:43 pm # ·

    Count me in! That book looks awesome! (And all our dang bookstores in Athens are closing down >3>;; *hates book shopping online*)

  22. Donna says: September 21, 2011 at 8:22 pm # ·

    Free lunch… count me in!

    I would do F’Book / Twitter but still living in dark ages of not caring what millions of anonymous people think about me.

    Cheers.
