Sweet Giveaway: Win a Copy of Doughnuts by Lara Ferroni!

So, anyone who writes and photographs a doughnut recipe book--oh, Doughnuts: Simple and Delicious Recipes to Make at Home, from Sasquatch Books, for instance--is pretty much tops in my book.

But really, as awesome as you might figure such a person to be, author/photographer/doughnut maker Lara Ferroni is even better.

From the day I learned she was working on this project, I couldn't stop myself from constantly saying things like "Doughnut Stop Believing!" or "Just Donut!" whenever I saw her. And--bless her--she never got terse with me or punched me or anything.

And now the book's out! And it's full of amazing doughnut lore, factoids, recipes and mouthwatering photos. Which one to try first--a classic raised doughnut? Or perhaps something more exotic, like a Margarita, Red Velvet, or S'mores Doughnut? Here, preview it all in the promo video:

Well, one lucky reader can choose their own doughnut adventure, because I've got a copy to give away!

How do you put yourself in the running? Simply weigh in on this holey issue in the comments section below:

Totally sweet! We have a winner! Chosen at random, it's Mandy, who says: 

For me, it's cake. For my niece who is following my baking example, she chooses doughnuts for everything! Doughnuts over birthday cake even.

Yeast, please!

[Julie J]

Oh boy . . . buttermilk bars and chocolate old fashioned donuts. I guess I vote for cake!

[Denise]

nothing better than yeast. at least for doughnuts. ;)

[Nicole]

BOTH!Is it a Donut or Doughnut? Any how, when I'm craving something sweet and want instant satisfaction, go for cake doughnuts. When I want something comforting and when I'm feeling nostalgic. yeast doughnuts for me.

In case I get to win, I have lots of relatives in the US who could send me the book when they come and visit me. Please don't cancel me out. I really really want to have a chance to have a copy of that book.

Thanks in advance!

yeast

[Amanda]

Oooohhhh...I love them both. But if I had to choose, I'd probably go with a cake donut. So yummy! There's a bakery not too far away that makes a delicious cinnamon cake donut - irresistible!

[Whitney]

Yeast all the way! I could never say no to a hot Krispy Kreme donut!

[Michelle]

The answer depends on the situation. Yeast donuts are appropriate for breakfast, cake donuts are good for an afternoon snack.

[Hannah]

I'm a yeast doughnut gal but willing to try any doughnut that comes my way.

Cake, I think - I'd have to try them one after the other to make sure.

Usually cake, but sometimes you just find a really tasty warm yeast doughnut that blows your mind!

Yeast, I don't think anything in the world compares to a hot fresh Krispy Kreme doughnut.
