Good Times & BIANCO Cookbook Giveaway


If you've been following me all these years, you know we love to go to Arizona in the spring.
When we are there, we eat at Pizzeria Bianco Town & Country, it's one of my favorite restaurants of all time.

In 2015 (post here), I met the chef/owner Chris Bianco. It truly was the highlight of my year!
If you remember, he cooked us lunch and dinner, and we immediately became friends.

Well last week, Phoenix came to New York City!

Chris came to NY to promote his new cookbook BIANCO....PIZZA, PASTA & OTHER FOOD I LIKE.

He cooked dinner for a group of very lucky people (ME!) at Sessanta Restaurant in the Sixty Soho Hotel.


It was a fun, fabulous evening......Chris is a humble, kind and funny person, very refreshing in the chef's world. Everyone he meets has the same feeling about him.

I can't say enough nice things about this man and his food.

Everything was off the charts delicious, with wine pairings to match each course.


Because I like you too!, I am giving away 2 of his brand new cookbooks, hot off the presses! BIANCO, signed by Chris Bianco!

Gifts are a nice way to start the week!

Leave a comment with your name (not anonymous, duh!).....and 2 winners will be chosen.

Have a nice day.

Bianco! White! I would love a chance for this. I like the title. Mine is Fun, Food and Famiglia! So he would understand that. Cheers and have fun in Arizona!

Great place! The pizza is outstanding, as is the rest of the menu. Hopefully we'll be able to get down there again soon... when it cools off a little ;)

I've always heard and read about Bianco's delicious pizza but since I can't get to Phoenix, Arizona his cookbook would be the next best thing. I would love to have it. Thanks Rose Ann

Hi once again,
Besides the fact that I have been reading your blog for years and discovered that it IS a very small world, we have Chris' restaurant in common -- staff meetings used to be held at AZ Center years ago. I love Chris' canned sauces and always stock up on them when I bump into them. His own cookbook....that would be the best gift. Thanks for offering this giveaway!

I live in Sedona, AZ (about two hours north of Phoenix). If you've never visited, you should check it out. Beautiful red rock country. If you are ever in the neighborhood, let me know and I can give you some tips on places to go and things to see. Although I've never made it to Pizza Bianco, I've heard many good things and would enjoy the cookbook!
