Full disclosure: All items in this giveaway of The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook and other Elana’s Pantry products were provided courtesy of Elana Amsterdam (Elana’s Pantry). However, this review is not a paid review. I’m simply a huge fan of Elana. All opinions expressed are my own.

Update:  This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to the 14 winners and thanks to all who participated, sharing in my 2-year blogiversary and also sharing favorite recipes of Elana’s (she has so many amazing ones!).

Are you a fan of Elana Amsterdam (Elana’s Pantry)? I know, I know … I’m speaking to the choir—who isn’t, right? Every week she’s making super simple, nutrient-packed, always amazing recipes. She just “messed up” a recipe and ended up making Cinnamon Pecan Brittle. The recipe contains all of five ingredients, comes together very quickly, and her readers are raving over it. Such is the normal response when readers make any of Elana’s recipes!

I’m not only a long-time reader, but I’m so lucky that I can call Elana a personal friend, too. From the moment we met face to face at BlogHer Food ’09, we’ve been good friends. Yes, I liked her even before she shared her famous Chocolate Chip Cookies with me, but, of course, that generous act sealed the deal. I knew I would be Elana’s friend forever. That’s also when I truly realized how much of an impact Elana has had with her nutritious gluten-free, usually dairy-free, and refined sugar-free recipes. They are a blessing to all her readers and she kept several of us happily fed that day when the gluten-free offerings were few and far between.

Lest I forgot how good her chocolate chip cookies were, she brought more to BlogHer Food this year to share with me and the other gluten-free bloggers (and maybe a few other gluten-full folks, too). Plus, Diane (The Whole Gang) had made the Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies from Elana’s first cookbook for our trip. Oh my goodness, these cookies were heavenly! Another chocolate recipe here at gfe—and one of my most popular ones I might add—is one I adapted from a recipe of Elana’s … Flourless Chocolate Banana Honey Walnut Cake.

You may have heard that Elana has a new cookbook coming out in the spring, Gluten-Free Cupcakes: 50 Irresistible Recipes Made with Almond and Coconut Flour. Understandably, everyone is very excited! Cupcakes are more “in” than ever, and even when they weren’t “in,” they were always delicious. Okay, maybe you weren’t so fond of cupcakes when you found out at 10:00 pm that little Jimmy or Mary had promised to bring in cupcakes for a class party the following day, but otherwise, you have always liked them right? You can pre-order from Amazon here. (I love to pre-order. Usually you get a better price, but best of all, in no time it seems you’re holding a brand spanking new cookbook that most others are just beginning to hear about.) But don’t forget Elana’s first cookbook, The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. I know it’s still missing from many of your shelves. Well, with this next-to-the-last 25 Days of Christmas post and to celebrate my two-year blogiversary, I’m giving away some products from Elana’s Pantry, courtesy of Elana herself.

They are:

~ six copies of Elana’s Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook (several are signed)

~ seven of Elana’s Pantry eco-friendly, fair trade tote bags

~ and even one Elana’s Pantry t-shirt, sized medium.

Add them all up and you’ll see that 14 gfe readers will be receiving a package in the mail!

    Dearest Shirley,

    I was just trying to explain to my husband last night how very much I adore you 🙂

    I’m baking some cookies right now and wish you were here with me to sit down and have some over a cup of hot tea.

    Miss you!
    xo Elana

      Oh, Elana, you make a girl blush! The feeling is mutual and I hope that came through in my post. 🙂 Oh, how I wish I could have “transported” myself out to your table to enjoy tea and cookies! 😉

      xoxo,
      Shirley

    It’s my birthday this week and I’ve been searching for a gluten free cake that the whole family likes. Thank so much I’ve found it, the Double Chocolate Orange Torte sounds so so yummy!!

    Elana’s blog looks great. The pecan recipe and the chocolate chip cookies will probably be the first recipes I’ll try but it looks like many more will follow. Thanks for the introduction.

    I’m a daily lurker at Elana’s, and have tried many of her recipes: her dark rye break and cinnamon bun muffins come immediately to mind. She’s the reason I bought Kale for the first time. Quite an inspiration – and I’d love to win one of her cookbooks!

    okay, so everything i have tried from elana’s pantry has been absolutely awesome! My latest was her GF Bread 2.0. awesome… but I think her chocolate cake with marshmallow frosting has been the best so far!

    Just wanted to say that I am a HUGE fan of Elana – her blog, her first cookbook – both regulars in my gluten free life! She has singlehandedly put almond flour on the gluten free map!

      Hi Ellen–I totally agree on Elana and her influence re: almond flour! I didn’t know that one could order almond flour before Elana educated me. Now I love the stuff! 🙂

      Hugs,
      Shirley

    I’ve been reading and printing your recipes for a while now and just figured out how to follow you. I really enjoy your comments that accompany the recipes and have a whole stack of new things to try. Thanks!

    I have made many of Elana’s recipes but I have to say that I found it very hard to find a good bread recipe since going gluten free that didn’t fall apart and wasn’t crumbly and her Gluten Free Bread Recipe No. 2 is absolutely wonderful with soups or even to toast.

    Happy New Year!!!

    Hi – I don’t use Twitter, but I participated in all the other options (Elena’s comment, gfe in reader and comment, and the two Facebook options). I would so appreciate these prizes!! I’ve made my own almond flour using the Vitamix – and have made my own rice flour and garbanzo flour that way too! I heart my Vitamix!

    Your yummy GF popover recipe was a big hit during Christmas. I was amazed at their texture – just like the popovers I remember.

    I love Elana’s Pantry! We just made her pancakes for our New Year’s Day brunch and they were the best GF pancakes we’ve had yet.

    Actually, the cake on the front cover of the “Almond flour” book look’s *yummy*. I’m a big baker, so sweets are my “thing”. My Landlady is “gluten intolerant”, so I’ve been looking for various “quick breads” for her….:)

    So far as recipes from Elena’s site, I am very torn between loving the Almond Power Bars (as a photographer, I am on the road a lot!) and her Thai Veggie Soup, which sounds really, really tasty on a cold, windy, snowy night. 🙂

    Thanks for the opportunity!

    I guess I need to get started on a trial of this diet protocol. It would be nice if it does stop the perijoint problem I have since I haven’t found anything else that works that I can tolerate.

    Oh, wow, I am just tickled pink! This is all new to me, my doctor having just told me right before Christmas (awesome timing) to eschew gluten. The cookbook is sure to be a great help! Thank you!
