Happy Herbivore Abroad Giveaway!!!

Remember last week when I blogged about Lindsay Nixon's new Happy Herbivore Abroad cookbook? You know, the one loaded with simple, low-fat, vegan, international cuisine, full-color photos, and stories of Lindsay's world travels?

Well, I was supposed to also host a giveaway, thanks to her generous publisher. But I forgot! So we'll do that today.

If you'd like to read a review (and see pics of her Pasta e fagioli and her Blueberry Bundt Cake) of Happy Herbivore Abroad, check out my post from last Thursday. If you want to win a copy, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post letting me know your favorite international food. And by that, I mean, a dish from a country that you don't live in.

Despite the international theme here, the contest is only open to residents of the U.S. and Canada, per the publisher's rules.

I'll randomly select one winner on Sunday evening! Good luck!

Oh, and as always with these contests, if your comment isn't linked back to a blog with a way to contact you, please leave me your email address in the comment so I can contact you if you win.

I love this cookbook. The bundt cake is a Saturday staple at our house. My daughter has picked it as her reward for a good week. Although, to avoid the sticky mess of a two-year-old with glaze, I just put some lemon zest into the batter and leave it glazeless. So yum.

channa masala! naturally vegan & delicious!

bitt said...

I love Vietnamese pho.

I like Korean food - so I would have to say Korean "un"chicken.

Sophia Cacciola said...

ALOO GOBHI is my favorite comfort food...have never figured out how to make it as good as the Indian restaurants!

Unknown said...

My favorite international dishes are a toss up between falafel, hummus, veggies and tahini sauce all rolled up into a warm pita with extra pickles AND vegetable pad thai with tofu and extra peanut sauce. I'm sure there are plenty more amazing recipes in this cookbook.

My current favourite is Injera dish from Eritrea/ Ethiopia (I have a US address. This makes me qualified, right? :) )

Michael said...

Gado gado from Indonesia.. simple, full of vegetables and easy to make.

Unknown said...

Vegan Banh Mi with pickled daikon and jalapenos.

Unknown said...

Pakoras are my favourite international food due to the range of vegetables that can go into them and the ease of making them.

KateMcGrath said...

It's hard to pick! Definitely something Indian, like channa masala.

Adam said...

A local Indian place carries a tofu-based matar paneer, that is done vegan. It's pretty much the best thing on the planet.

Maya Mange said...

It's hard to choose, but I just woke up and would love something carby like pizza or pierogi !

iamredmeat said...

There are a couple of local restaurants that make a vegan bahn mi and it is so so so good. Probably my favorite, but really how can one choose?

Leora said...

My favorite dish is definitely dahl from India!

Sarah Haldeman said...

Mine favorites would be spaetzle from Germany (still haven't figured out a vegan version!), and falafel sandwich made my a specific turkish seller in Germany. Clearly, I miss my Germany days :)

Tab said...

My favorite international food...has yet to be discovered! I am going to Egypt and Greece next week, so here's hoping! ;-) If I HAD to pick, I would go with something Indian.

Cassi C said...

My favorite food is a soup. And since becoming a vegan finding a replacement is hard. Tom Yum soup is a spicy tomatoe based soup with mushrooms, tomatoes, mung bean sprouts & thin bean noodles. The problem is there is shrimp & fiah sauce in the dish.

Amelia said...

CURRY! Yellow thai curry.

I also love spring rolls of any sorts!

susan a said...

Pad thai..yum

Carrie said...

My fave international food is falafel!

terrell said...

bubble and squeek

Bethany said...

Definitely Ethiopian food over injera...YUM!

Dana Vickerson said...

I love tofu banh mi sandwiches!!!

Babette said...

My favorite is Tom Yum soup. Hard to beat.

Sue said...

Mexican, mexican, mexican. In San Diego you gotta love Mexican food.

Marisa R. said...

I love Indian food, and aloo matar is one of my favorite dishes.

is it cheating to just say "curry?" I know that's so broad/vague, but I seriously have never met a curry I didn't like :)

Carole said...

Well, lately I have been obsessing about burritos- I am not sure if they are really international, but that is my favorite.

Hannah said...

My favorite international dish is Saag Paneer (veganized, of course!)

Jody said...

Do I have to pick just ONE favorite dish from another country? :( Well, I can't!
Let's start with lavash made over an open fire in the desert (just name your Middle Eastern country) and schmear some homemade hummus on it. Now add some cucumber, fresh tomatoes, pine nuts and whatever else you choose.
Or, how about a vegetarian/vegan Ethiopian platter? Yum!
Or the Indian smoky eggplant dish that has a name I can never remember.
I could go on, but I won't!

Laura C. said...

Very hard to pick just one dish-how about 3? Aloo gobi, falafel, pad khee mao....I could go on and on.

Cadry's Kitchen said...

So tough to narrow it down! Most of my favorite foods are from countries that aren't my own. I definitely have a soft spot for Gomen Wot (Ethiopian collard greens). I love its slightly metallic taste and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Lulu34 said...

If I could only pick one and this is hard, I would chose Berbere Seitan stew with red wine and nice big salad. Yum!

Nicole said...

What a wonderful giveaway! I love Mexican food.

Ladywaters said...

Vegan stroganoff! I had the BEST in Berlin--yum!

Quins said...

it is a toss up between aloo gobi and falafel. i could stuff my face with both for days!!!

Stephanie said...

My fav international food is GRAPE LEAVES. Oh my gosh - I inhale them.

Kyleigh said...

It's hard to pick just one - Chana masala, Falafel, Vietnamese Pho. Love THH -

KLund said...

One of my fave foods is from a local family run Chinese place that caters to vegans. It is General Tso's Tofu. Even my 12 year old loves the "spicy tofu" and has to make sure we get some every time we go.

Unknown said...

I live for Vietnamese, so I'm going with rice noodle salad with tofu. The other ingredients can be interchangeable.

panda vegan said...

My current international fav food is saag aloo. I haven't been able to recreate the restaurant flavor at home though.

Jennifer M. said...

I have always been head over heels for Coconut-Curry dishes. The marriage of coconut milk and red curry paste is magical. Top it with fresh lime juice and I'm in heaven!

Myken Briggs said...

Thai Food! I love tofu yellow curry. I eat it like 3 times a week.

Michelle from Vegan In A Pretty Dress said...

My favorite international food is from the Philippines, it's basically coconut milk, potatoes and a ton of vegetables over rice. Thanks for the great giveway! I love the Happy Herbivore.

megany09 said...

This is tough! A really good bowl of Vietnamese pho or a well done red curry!

Kaycee said...

I love Malai Kofta from India! So yummy!

Meghan said...

It's a tough call, but I think it might be falafel. And all of the delicious toppings that come with. meghanrose.oneill@gmail.com !

Sarah said...

Dosas!

The Peace Patch said...

Falafel...specifically, Green Kitchen Stories' Baked Herb & Pistachio Falafel. I love that it's baked and pistachio'd and so very yumful. :)

Lorena said...

My favorite international food is one I grew up eating -- my Filipina grandmother's rice cake. Sticky rice, coconut milk and brown sugar baked in a banana leaf-lined pan. Delicious!

TS =) said...

Udon noodles! They're so good. (My favorite is actually kachori, but I really have doubts as to whether or not anyone here has heard of it.)

Simona said...

vegan lasagna!

kzcakes said...

Ethiopian!! I want it in and around my mouth all day every day.

Hannah said...

Anything Mexican. Donezo.

jannifer said...

My favorite international food would have to be Pad Thai, with tofu and without eggs, of course.

Christina said...

I love tempeh from Indonesia. Just with anything I guess. They make it the best. Does that count as a dish? haha

PaganAngel said...

Navrattan Korma from Kabob and Curry here in San Jose--just because it's the only place I've had it, so it's the only one I can vouch for. Is that international enough?

The Chubby Vegetarian said...

Dosa!!!

kelly g. said...

Pierogies! Sadly, I have yet to master the art of pierogi-making. :(

Lizzie Bordello said...

Count me as another vote for falafel and hummus! In a pita, with some diced cucumber and a dash of tahini sauce? Yumm!

Lydia Claire said...

Pad Thai! One of my all time favorites!

Corrine said...

I really like a good coconut curry.

anne said...

It would be a tie between pad thai and falafel. Delish!!

Unknown said...

I love curry! I haven't sampled much vegan international food in the 8 months that I've been vegan I've mostly cooked in my kitchen following recipes.

Anonymous said...

My favorite international dish is Pad Thai, hands down! I have always loved noodles and when they are combined with peanuts, sweet tamarind, pungent green onions, and spicy chilis...well, I simply swoon!

Zee said...

falafel!

Jen said...

Lasagna, or pretty much anything else Italian!

Unknown said...

I absolutely love Thai yellow curry with tofu....mmmmm, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Jerilyn said...

I looooove pad thai :)

Rachel S said...

I just read another review for this cookbook and I would absolutely love to own it!! My new favorite international dish is one that I just discovered- the burmese tea leaf salad. Oh my goodness! The fermented tea leaves are like something i've never tasted and you get all of the different textures from the different nuts, garlic, seeds. Its pretty much unreal!

MonsterAteMy said...

We're really into Thai-style curries at my house. Mmm ...

Heather D-H said...

peanut sauce on absolutely ANYTHING:)

Kali G. said...
