Cooking bookpile winners

We had a lot of fantastic and inventive entries for the Cooking bookpile contest—thank you all!

Our first prize winner, who gets $100 to use on AbeBooks.com is Featherbooks, with "Cookbooks on Ice"—did you have no food, or did you clean out your fridge especially to take a picture? Impressive either way...



Second prize, and recipient of a free lifetime membership to LibraryThing is
"I heart cooking & Librarything!" (Who are you? Email abby@librarything.com so I can send along your lifetime membership!)




And of course, a few more notable entries for your viewing pleasure... (All of them can be seen here).


"Eating History", by Selkie—oh, the wit :)



"Which book doesn't fit?" Um, can I guess "Game is Good Eating"?



"I'm an eclecticook." (A dinner party I'd certainly like an invitation to).



Sing it with me: "I'm gonna wash those books right out of my shelf"



A dream game of Clue: "Elmo in the dining room with a Sweet Potato". Fantastic. In oh so so many ways. (There were two other ways that Elmo kicked it, also worth checking out).



The oh so elegant "Afternoon Tea Cookbooks 2" by staffordcastle



Cookbooks from around the world, by MMcM



And last, but certainly not least... "Cook(ed) books" by tanja

Susan! I'm sure you have a worthy site. But that's spamming!

All of these bookpiles are great fun. Congratulations to all the winners.
What's the theme for next time? How about gardening books, or beach/vacation books, for something summery?

Absolutely. I think something summery would be fitting. I still want to do the "LibraryThing down! bookpile" too (for when the site is down)...

Give me a few days, and I'll put up a new contest!
