"Make My Monday" Winner and a NEW Giveaway!

Is it Monday again already?  Wow.  I've been out of town for a few days, hence my lack of MoFo posts -- but I'll make up for them, I promise. For now, though, let's get down to business. It's time to announce the "Make My Monday" Giveaway winner from last week's contest.  The prize:  a copy of Party Vegan.  The winner (chosen by Random.org) is:  Bagheera Yoga -- whose favorite holiday food is sweet potatoes.  Congrats!!!  Send me your e-mail and I'll get a copy of Party Vegan in the mail to you. 10/13 UPDATE: No response from original winner, so new winner was chosen by Random.org:  #17 - Toni D.

Thanks to all who entered -- it was so fun to read what everyone likes to eat on holidays!  There will be a giveaway here each Monday during Mofo, so keep on entering -- you just may win!   



This week's new "Make My Monday" Giveaway is for a copy of my cookbook Vegan Fire and Spice, filled with recipes from around the world that you can make as spicy as you like.  One of my personal favorites from this book is this Red Hot Chile Tofu:

  7. Hello!

    Having been afraid of hot-spicy for a long time, my love for Thai and Indian food has helped me learn to enjoy (and perhaps get a little desensitized to) spicier foods.

    Of the spicy ingredients I've worked with, I'd have to say chipotle peppers are my favorite - I'm a sucker for anything smoked.

    ReplyDelete
  8. It might not be as much fun as some of the other items listed here, but I love crushed red pepper flakes. They're an easy way to spice up any dish.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I have so many! My top two would be chili pepper flakes and Siracha sauce! Mmmm!

    ReplyDelete
  15. This is boring, but I like red pepper flakes. Sriracha is okay, but I don't like the slight vinegar undertones. :(

    ReplyDelete
  23. Currently my favorite is ginger...fresh, dried, crystallized, juiced. Works in so many cuisines, from sweetly zingy to super spice-a-lisciousness! Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Indian red chili powder.
    My friends: it's not so bad
    *wait 4 seconds*
    WATER!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  30. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to own a copy of this book, ever since it first came out. My favourite spicy ingredient would be jalepeños, I use them in so many things (and guess what I'm eating now....)
    :-)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Ooh, red curry and lots of it. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book. Mine has every single page porcupined. It's pretty funny. Of course, I always TRIPLE the spices, so my answer should probably just be spice. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  32. Jalapeños! I love just about any kind of pepper, though. :)

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Siracha hot sauce is awfully good and we love it, but good old Texas Pete is sooo good!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Jalapenos - because I have so many pleasant memories associated with foods that include them. Also, black pepper. Small amounts make savoury dishes taste better and large amounts make them seem hot.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Chili Garlic Sauce! I love that stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  37. sriracha or frank's - depends on what i'm eating :)

    ReplyDelete
  38. It's definitely not the hottest hot sauce, but I love the flavor of Texas Pete

    ReplyDelete
  39. i like chipotle. :-) the smokiness makes me happy.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Crushed red pepper flakes! You can use them in anything (and I do!!!). You can really build the heat without changing the flavor of the food.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Dried chilies. I put them in everything.

    Also these awesome smoked red chile flakes my brother smuggled in from Italy.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I really like Sriracha, but nothing beats hot chile peppers like jalapenos, serranos

    ReplyDelete
  57. La Chinata smoked paprika is my favorite hot spice :)

    ReplyDelete
  58. Definitely jalapenos...Mexican food is nothing without them! Although I'm also a fan of crushed red peppers :)

    ReplyDelete
  59. My favorite hot and spicy ingredient is jalapenos, although I have to be super duper careful when handling them, obviously. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  60. and I'm subscribed- yay!

    ReplyDelete
  61. My husband and I love hot food! We use a lot of jalapeno.

    ReplyDelete
  62. i just use the basic tobasco sauce. I haven't really experimented with spicy much b/c we like things a bit more on the mild side :)

    ReplyDelete
  63. My bottle of sriracha gets used for everything. Soups, veggies, rice, anything and everything I cover in sriracha.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I love Sriracha! I put it on EVERYTHING! You can never have too much!

    ReplyDelete
  77. I'm following you on twitter (@thevegancrew)!

    ReplyDelete
  78. My father-in-law's homemade sauce from Bhut Jalokia. Even though it's one of the hottest peppers on the planet, when cooked down, it's diffused into an amazing tasting -- but still rather spicy -- sauce. Great on most anything.

    ReplyDelete
  79. And I also subscribe to your blog through Google Reader.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Chipotles in Adobo sauce (or Tabasco Chipotle sauce which has the same flavor)

    ReplyDelete
  88. Definitely sriracha, I'm addicted to it.

    ReplyDelete
  89. My favorite hot condiment is Garlic Chili Sauce. It adds the right spicy bite to dishes from every Asian cuisine, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese,Indian,Korean but also plays well with other cuisines such as Cajun and Belgian "Samaurai" sauce.

    ReplyDelete
  90. I can't pick out just one ingredient, but I love me a good spicy peanut sauce! YUMMMMMMM

    ReplyDelete
  91. My favorite spicy food is red pepper flakes. I like to put them on pizzas. But I also like all sorts of hot sauce, chipotle peppers and so on. I love spicy food!

    ReplyDelete
  92. Roasted Hatch green chiles!

    ReplyDelete
  93. It's difficult to choose one or to determine what's hot as opposed to spicy. My mother has an eastern (US) palate and to her, things like raw garlic or ginger strike her as hot and spicy. I go through flavor moods and I prefer certain spices on certain dishes, like sriracha in my tofu scramble, or red pepper flakes in my Fra Diablo sauce. Smoky hot moods lean toward chipotle and hot paprika (the latter on "meatloaf" type dishes, especially). But over all, I love how thinly sliced raw garlic can give my taste buds a run for the money and a yen for the water glass.
