I'm sure many of you are familiar with the brilliance of Food52, the community cooking site founded by Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs that is chockful of incredible recipes, good stories, gorgeous photos and more. (My favorite thing about the site? Well, one of my favorites, anyway. Sneaking a peek into Amanda's kid's lunches! So inspiring.)
But did you know that Food52 also has a shop where they collaborate with producers, shops and artisans to produce exclusive items for the site? If you sign up for an account with Food52, you'll get an email every week telling you about the latest collaboration (or curation). The offer is usually limited, because of the discount included. I love browsing the shop – it's always stuffed with things I suddenly realize I urgently need. To wit: Tongan Vanilla, both in extract and paste form, a touch-sensitive protective screen for the iPad (such a good present for the cook in your life!) and, uh, this writing retreat and cooking class in Tepoztlàn in January (I can dream, can't I?).
If you're still frantically trying to round up presents for the cooks in your life, hie yourselves over to the shop and get going! Food52 is generously offering 10% off almost everything* in the shop for you lovelies until December 31st, 2012 – just use the code WEDNESDAY10 at checkout.
And! Because you guys are wonderful and they are generous, today I'm giving away a copy of The Food52 Cookbook, Volume II as well as a Stocking Stuffer Spice Discovery Set (it's the Unique
Chiles of the World one, which I so covet and which is sold out – 1 ounce each of Marash Chile fine flakes from
Turkey, ground Green New Mexican Chile and ground Aji Amarillo from Peru. The retail value is $20.)
For a chance to win, please visit the Food52 Holiday Shop and leave a comment below. A winner will be chosen at random tomorrow. Good luck!
Update: Heather is the winner and has been emailed. Thank you all for participating – comments are now closed.

Love Food52. And love the Herriott Grace egg coddlers, which I think I’d put tealights in to decorate the Christmas Eve table. Thanks for the giveaway.

Luisa, I LOVE your blog. It also helps that I’m from California, Mexican/Brit/American parents, living in Venice (Italy). The heart pulls in so many different directions… Sigh…
I’ve really enjoyed your book as well. Read it in one night. My daughter is loving it now. (she’s 11)
So glad for you that Hugo is falling asleep on his own. That was torture for us with the first. The second had to be woken due to being failure to thrive (he had projectile reflux), so I had to feed him WAY more just so he could keep a small percentage in… Sigh… So glad that part is over. But I really miss that time!!!
All the best your way!!! 🙂

I always hate it when my first comment on a blog is for a giveaway, but alas so be it! Alas I seem to be one of the few here who hadn’t heard of Food52 before, on their homepage now. 🙂 (and at the same time, happy holidays everyone!)
