Now, although the book has been out since September, I've not yet held a giveaway on my own blog. That's because I've been waiting for this very special occasion (my 8th veganaversary and 18th vegetarian-aversary) to do so. All you have to do is a leave a comment at the end of this post.
But first, I want to give a photo shout-out to all the other bloggers who have posted pictures of recipes from the book. Just for fun.
Not only did Joni Marie Newman (of Best Veggie Burgers on the Planet/Vegan Food Gifts fame) write me an awesome endorsement for the back cover of Cookin' Crunk, she also gave me a glowing review on her blog, Just the Food. Check out the Fried Tofu Chicken Wafflewich she made:
From Joni Marie Newman, Just the Food |
My buddy Justin Fox Burks, fellow Memphian/photographer extraordinaire/cookbook author, made my Hot Tamale Pie and posted the recipe on the Chubby Vegetarian:

Tofu Mom, who I like to think of as my (and everybody's) "internet mama," combined two recipes I never thought of combining — Fried Green Tomatoes and Country Buttermilk Ranch Dressing:
Tofu Mom (Marti Hall), Vegan Food: More Than Tofu and Sprouts |
Speaking of fried green tomatoes, John P of the I-40 Vegan Kitchen combined my green tomatoes with my Bringin' Home the Tempeh Bacon and my Vegan Pimento Cheese to make this mouth-watering (I know, cause I made one after I saw John's) Grant Stack Sandwich:

Also, while there's no pictures to post here, Lesley of Lesley Eats reviewed Cookin' Crunk for the Nashville Scene's dining blog, Bites.
Allison Rivers Samson of Allison's Gourmet interviewed me for her Fridays with Friends segment on her Sweet Talk blog.
And fellow Memphian Jennifer Chandler, author of Simply Salads, Simply Suppers, and Simply Grilling, also interviewed me on her 30-day vegetarian blog when she went meat-free for a month.
I hope I didn't forget anybody! I've had a lot of folks post pics from Cookin' Crunk on Instagram and tag me. It's so awesome to see people making my food! It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Anyway, for a chance to win a copy, leave a comment here letting me about your favorite Southern dish. I'll randomly choose one winner on Wednesday night. Also, please leave an email address with your comment if you don't have one linked through a Blogger or Wordpress profile. I have to have a way to contact you if you win!
Oh, Bianca! I'd love to win a copy of this amazing book to give to my best friend who turned me vegetarian 12 years ago! I hope I win!
ReplyDeletebbq anything with corn bread!
ReplyDeleteI would LOOOOOVE to have a copy of this book. Matter of fact, it's on my Christmas list. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for that giveaway. I've heard good comments about your cookbook so I would really love to win a copy.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite South Western recipe ? Hummm...difficult to say as I'm still a "novice" in South Western cuisine. So far, I enjoyed all the vegan dish I've tried.

ReplyDeleteAs a native texan, I'm always experimenting to find ways to "southernize" my food. I'd love to see how you also experiment! Cheers for a great book!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to get a copy of this cookbook. I'm a fellow southerner (East TN), but I'm living in the Pacific Northwest now .. I'd love to have some recipes from home! And happy veganniversary!
ReplyDeleteI just had my first veganaversary! I would love a copy of your book - it's practically impossible to find here in Canadiana. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win a copy....I'm still experimenting with vegetarianism/veganism, but I'd love to peruse it and give it as a gift to some friends who are also going vegan!
ReplyDeleteI would love a copy if this is open internationally (we're the ones who need the book most!). Southern American food is still a bit of a mystery to me (and most Australians), but I recently became aware of the idea of fried 'chicken' and waffles and it's blown my mind in the best possible way.
ReplyDeleteI would be tickled 50 Shades of Pink (*wink*) to win a copy of this book! I have been happily vegan for about 6 years now and never looked back. Wooo Hooo! Fingers and Toes crossed (Pick me! Pick me!) hahaha
ReplyDeletefavorite southern food? Not sure I've eaten much.... maybe friend mac and cheese? Is that a thing?? corn bread too!
ReplyDeleteBiscuits and chocolate gravy!
ReplyDeleteBiscuits and gravy!
ReplyDeleteRed beans and collard greens.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Southern dishes are biscuits and gravy (for breakfast) and red beans and rice (for dinner).
ReplyDeleteWell you know I've always adored your blog! I'm so proud of all your accomplishments :)
ReplyDeleteI live in the North so I'm not sure what my favorite southern recipe is? Tator tots from Sonic? HA! I don't know... it's what I look forward to when I visit TX. We don't a Sonic near by. ANYWAY, I'm vegetarian and I've been following your blog for about two years. I don't love to cook and have zero cook books. I've been trying to make dinner each night which is a huge deal. Maybe it's time for a cook book?
ReplyDeleteAs SO MANY of your friends, this already HIGHLY acclaimed and inspiring cookbook is on my Christmas list! I am SO EXCITED about the Tempeh recipies and I also heard you have a YUMMY BLACKEYED PEA HUMMUS! REALLY!?! I can't wait!! SO, my favorite dish? Gotta say Fried Chicken and Mashed Potatoes~ I have made a VERY good VEGAN combo of sesame-fried tofu with curried potatoes! YUM-O! ;) OOHHH I hope I win! Lol! HAPPY VEGAN BIRTHDAY! mucho love sister!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I really miss since becoming vegan is my grandmother's cheese grits. Do you have a recipe?
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love grits, biscuits, cornbread, fried okra... I like lots of Southern-style food!
ReplyDeleteBiscuits and gravy, without a doubt. Sometimes I don't feel like much of a southern girl, but the amount of love i have for gravy assures me of my roots. i'd love to win your book!
ReplyDeleteBbq. Since leaving memphis i havent had a good bbq sammich/sauce.
ReplyDeleteI'm coming up to my 3rd veganversary, this would be an awesome win- thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect way to celebrate your vegan-iversary! All of those dishes look soooo good!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Southern dish would have to be a mess of collard greens. It's one of my favorite go-to sides.
I love the term" veganaversary" that you came up with! Congrats on making it to eight years for vegan and 18 years for vegetarian! My 10th veganversary is just around the corner next April! I have been drooling over the recipes from this cookbook since it came out and would love a copy to bring some of the South out west to Montana! E-mail is tumblesonabbie@yahoo.com in case you need contact info.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 8th veganaversary! So supercool to see your work pop up all over the net...you're all over pinterest too!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have a copy of your Crunkin' cookbook...your recipes totally rock! My most favorite Southern delight is cornbread. I could eat it everyday. Actually I did when I worked across the street from a bakery. Those were the days. :)
Love the pics! Looks sooooo good! Happy vegsnniversary! What better way to celebrate than to share the vegan love of food with a cook book giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI could eat cornbread every day. Sweet for breakfast, savory for lunch, with chili for dinner...
ReplyDeleteHappy Veganniversary! I have been reading your blog for several months now -- enjoy it immensely!
ReplyDeleteBiscuits and gravy!
ReplyDeleteI love any kind of collard greens, and oh my goodness Tofu Mom's pics are making my mouth water!
ReplyDeleteBISCUITS BISCUITS BISCUITS. Or cornbread. Or red beans and rice. Or collard greens. Or sweet potato pie.
ReplyDeleteYou can see why I want this cookbook.
BBQ tofu and vegan jambalaya are my favorites! (Sorry had to pick two)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this copy... every time you post a recipe or picture from your book I drool! If I don't win, still going to request for x-mas. :)
Hope you had a happy holiday! Looks like it was a feast. :)
Oh how I would love to get my grubby little paws on your book! I am the lone veg-head in a household of omnis, so I am always looking for new recipes to make that are super delicious and keep them happy as well.
ReplyDeleteThis southern girl drools with eery recipe I see from yor baby! How I'd love copy!
ReplyDeleteI need to make that sandwich again! I made your beef seitan yesterday and used it for finger steaks - so good!
ReplyDeleteAs someone who grew up in a family that was from the south, I want this cookbook so badly! I don't know if I can pick a favorite southern dish. Fried anything, really. Or possibly biscuits and gravy. Cornbread and pinto beans is also really good, especially with a mess of greens.
ReplyDeleteI have a kid who is vegetarian which has really changed the way I cook.....and I can't have dairy. So we are serendipitous vegans, I suppose!
ReplyDeleteI want a vegan version of southern fried chicken! And I would love to win this book! Will you email the winner?
ReplyDeleteAfter living in Tennessee for a few years, I gained an appreciation for bbq.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great giveaway.
My favorite southern dish is field peas and snaps with collard greens and cornbread
ReplyDeleteBiscuits and fried okra! Thanks for offering up the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteHard to pick a favorite southern food, but fried green tomatoes is right up there :D
ReplyDeleteI would love your hot Southern comfort in my cold Northern kitchen!
ReplyDeleteBBQ beans and charred corn, spicy okra chased with fresh vinegary coleslaw. Southern food makes vegetables party!
I think any type of greens dish, and I've also recently discovered black eyed peas. I can't believe I went 40 years without trying them!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I'm so excited there is something out there for naughty vegans like myself to indulge in ;) I would have to say my favorite southern dish would be anything with gravy on it and ooey gooey mac n cheese.
ReplyDeletecornbread ! cornbread ! cornbread !
ReplyDeleteand thank you for the givaway ;)
Collards. DUH.
ReplyDeletePS--sexy lookin book!!
Would love to get a copy of this book! It's been sitting on my wishlist, waiting patiently for a little while now!
ReplyDeleteI love fried chicken and gravy.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your anniversary! Love this blog!!
ReplyDeleteGreens, my absolute favorite!
ReplyDeletek.havelka at att.net
Thanks!
This Summer I kind of became obsessed with what I started to call Southern Veggie and Potato Fry. It's a variation on a recipe from "Cookin' Southern Vegetarian Style." The original recipe calls for okra, but I rarely had enough to harvest at the same time, so I started using other things - eggplant, beans, you name it. My favorite turned out to be okra, potatoes, and rattlesnake snap beans. Tossed with a cornmeal breading type deal, and fried up. Yum!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm from the UK so probably can't enter but what I really want to find a good recipe is for a southern fried chicken as my other half often craves it and I would love to recreate it for him!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping for your book for Christmas and can't wait to try the recipes!
I know you put together some seriously amazing recipes in this cookbook, I've been seeing pictures for months now and the book is sitting in my wishlist! Would love to win a copy and save some cash!
ReplyDeleteFried okra is my Southern food jam. I could eat it all day long and be a happy camper!
ReplyDeleteFavorite southern dish --- Macaroni and cheese --- of course!! Would love to have you book to try all sorts of new vegan southern dishes!!! They all sound amazing.
ReplyDeleteFried Green Tomatoes!!!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh i need this so bad! After seeing your thanksgiving post and reading about all your family casserole recipes, etc. included in the book I knew I HAD to have it!!

Hope I win!
ReplyDeleteI've been holding out for an ebook, but I'd love to have a copy to share in my vegan-heavy house.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to ration my cookbook purchases, but would love to add this to my collection. Especially after visiting Souley Vegan in California.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Texas girl, born and raised! What Southern dish DON'T I love??? It's been so much fun veganizing all of my favorites over the years - chili, tacos, fried chik'n, mac and cheese! I'd love to try your versions. Everything on your website always looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteA copy of this book would be a great addition to my small but growing vegan cook-book library. I have a friend (ex-vegan) who has a blog where she used to post Southern vegan recipes (http://www.urbanfig.blogspot.com/2011/01/apple-cherry-crisp.html) - I was always hoping that she would put together a book of her 'southern cooking vegan recipes' - now it seems you're already there!
ReplyDeleteRed velvet cake! I'll have to check if I linked my email. If not, it's cutedemocrat (at) gmail (dot) com
ReplyDeletePimento cheese sammiches.
ReplyDeleteYour book would be a swell present for my birthday tomorrow.
My favorite Southern dish would have to be any type of cobbler. Congrats on your veg-a-versary!
ReplyDeletePecan pie! And just overindulged this Thanksgiving! Congratulations, and thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteBiscuits and gravy! But probably only because I'm not well-schooled in the way of southern eats. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, and congrats on your veganiversary!
Congrats on your veganaversy! I'd love to win a copy of your cookbook -- I've been dreaming of Fried Tofu Chicken Wafflewiches since reading Joni's review. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Barbeque Cauliflower from Soul Vegetarian in ATL is probably the best veganized southern dish I've ever had. Simple and wonderful. And even though it's deep fried before being sauced, it still 'feels' healthier/lighter than other main dishes with tofu/tempeh/etc.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm fried green tomatoes! I need this cookbook!
ReplyDeleteGrits! However I make 'em that particular day.
ReplyDeleteAlthough tonight I'm pan frying some hominy, so maybe pan-fried hominy will become my favorite. Whoknows.
My children (11 and 16) decided to go vegan, and I really don't want to mess up their chances for success with gross food. 8 years and all these recipes give me some hope that I might be able to keep us all vegan!
ReplyDeleteI love southern cooking. I think I'm a southern belle at heart. I would love a copy of your book.
ReplyDeleteSquash casserole and biscuits and gravy. I know, that's two. But seriously.
ReplyDeleteDandelion Greens. I'm not sure if they are considered Southern though.
ReplyDeleteI have a few go-to recipes to win over my southern friends, but I could always use more. I'm excited to get my hands on this cook one way or another.
ReplyDeleteLet me try that again...My favorite southern meal is pinto beans, greens, cornbread and fried okra or squash...YUMMMMM. But your fried green tomatoes look damn tasty!
ReplyDeleteIf you're willing to ship overseas, I would love a chance to win. I love love love everything corn bread, and also fried green tomatoes. Yum.
ReplyDeletethis is on my NEED IN MY LIFE! list, would of brought it already but unfortunatly im jobless, i can only stare longingly at it on amazon :'(
ReplyDeleteI LOVE grits!!
ReplyDeletelarkspurpurple (at) gmail.com
I am so stoked that your book is finally out, and the cover is SO awesome. I don't have a Southern dish in particular that is a favorite, but that Tamale Pie looks insane! I'd love to try it out. :)
ReplyDeleteEverything here in this blog is yummy and delicious. Thanks for sharing these tasty recipes.
ReplyDeleteAll southern cooking can't be like Paula Deen's! Please don't let it be so! That's why I'd love a copy of your book. I'm originally from the south .... the south Bronx that is! Thank you. kesslereb@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteCollard green, yams, black-eyed peas and cornbread!
ReplyDeleteGreens, yams, black-eyed peas and cornbread!
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely love to win this book! It sounds amazing.
ReplyDeletepappasjacqui@yahoo.com.
I love garlicky collard greens and fried okra (ok that's 2 but I can't pick a favorite)
ReplyDeleteHmmm does Mac n Cheese count as southern? I also like potato salad (mmm carbs....) and pretty much anything in bbq sauce.
ReplyDeletehere's my email: jennybunny_@hotmail.com
Favorite southern dish is probably corn bread, greens, black eyed peas. (for new years luck!) Or mac n cheese, although I don't see it as particularly southern.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite southern foods would have to be collards and chow chow (what my husband's ma ma called the relish she made), butter beans, tops and bottoms (what she called turnip salad with the greens and root), and crouter peas.
ReplyDeleteChick'n and waffles! Is that even Southern? I'm from MN so I would love to discover more Southern dishes.

ReplyDeleteWho won?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Southern dish is practically anything fried, but okra and corn are on the top of the list.
