Here at EYB we're all for encouraging our members to indulge their passion for cookbooks. To that end, we've created a program to give our members a chance to win a copy of new, exciting cookbooks that have just been published. To see all the contests, just look in the right-hand category column on any blog page and click on "Cookbook Giveaways."
This time, we're excited to offer three copies of The French Market Cookbook by Clotilde Dusoulier, who also writes the blog Zucchini and Chocolate. Although not a practicing vegetarian, Dusoulier emphasizes vegetarian recipes in this book, many of which are gluten-free and dairy-free-and are designed - with a French twist - to highlight seasonal produce.To learn even more about the book and Clotilde, check out our author interview.
To win one of the cookbooks, just post a comment to this blog answering the question: What is your favorite way to use one of these three classic French vegetables: eggplant, leeks, or fennel?
Additional rules are:
- Please make certain you have signed in to the EYB website (you don't have to be a paid member). This ensures that we have your email address and can get in contact with you.
- The giveaway will expire in 4 weeks on August 13.
- Occasionally, because of publisher requirements, we need to restrict winners to a geographical location (e.g. the U.S., Canada, Britain, Australia and/or New Zealand). This contest is restricted to U.S. residents.
This contest is now closed. Many congratulations to our three winners - Agatha, lawnchair7 and richterrenee1.

I have reduced my eggplant recipe to its simplest: I bake the lengthwise slices in the oven, brushing them with olive oil and turning them once, then top with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella, layering the sauce and cheese twice. Excellent, low calorie, easy to do.

The pickled fennel is a great accompaniment to charcuterie. It's a nice change from cornichons!

Eggplant I like best in an eggplant kuku: a Persian omelet, with saffron. But simply fried (long enough, with enough oil and enough salt) it is wonderful too. I will have them like that tonight, as a matter of fact.
Leeks I like best as leeks vinaigrette.
Fennel is wonderful just shaved really thin, with a lemon vinaigrette.
If I had to choose between these three vegetables I would probably choose eggplant - but please don't make me!

My husband and I often make a fennel and endive salad. We simply make a lemon/garlic vinaigrette and put it on a salad of chopped fennel and endive. I occasionally add other crisp vegetables, such as celery or green pepper.

I love fennel, sliced thin and added to a green salad with a lemony vinaigrette. Fresh dill and/or lemon soaked onions make it even better.

I've also cut up the eggplant into small pieces and used it in a stir-fry. Very delicious!
