If I preordered already, can I enter?
Yes! Preorders placed at any time BEFORE 11:59am on Monday, April 21st Pacific Time count and you may enter this contest until then. If you preordered the book before this contest was announced, you may still enter your order information above to participate in this sweepstakes. If you preordered this book in January when Makenna announced her book, you may enter this sweepstakes. In short, so long as you preordered the book at any point and preorder before April 22nd, you may enter this sweepstakes!
If I am joining one of your tour events, can I enter the giveaway?
Yes! A ticket for the book tour counts as a pre-order for the giveaway too! If you're joining an event where tickets are not required, make sure to pre-order a copy of the book from that retailer so you can get it signed by me at the event!
If I entered to receive the Preorder Bonus classes with Makenna on RecipeKick.tv do I need to re-enter my order information here?
Yes! This is a sweepstakes, and requires some more information, so you must enter both places. If you want a free membership to RecipeKick and classes with Makenna? Simply add that option in the sweepstakes above.
I’m based outside of the USA, can I still enter?
No, unfortunately, this is only open to USA residents. If you have preordered your book from outside of the USA, you will not be eligible for this sweepstakes. The rest of the world has tricky rules for these things!
Does my book tour ticket count as a preorder if I purchased it in advance?
You may enter this sweepstakes if your book tour ticket includes a book as part of your ticket! Please use “other” on the form above, and enter your ticket confirmation number. If you do not have a confirmation number, simply enter "Ticket purchased for Book Tour in CITY" and you will be eligible.
Will I receive an email confirmation?
A confirmation of your entry should appear on this page once you have completed the sweepstakes steps.
How will I know if I have won?

You'll need to submit a 1099 to us in order to confirm your place, as you will be taxed on the value of the sweepstakes.

“Makenna Held is the Elizabeth Gilbert of cooking, and her book is for anyone who has fantasized about picking up and starting over to follow a dream. It’s also for people who want to bring the romance of southern France into their lives, as Makenna takes us to centuries-old charming markets and olive groves and shows us how to produce some of the most gloriously simple and gloriously iconic foods (galettes! tarte tatin, pistous!) in our own kitchens. I couldn't be more inspired.” -Jenny Rosenstrach, NY Times bestselling author of Dinner: A Love Story and The Weekday Vegetarians
“I love this book! Mostly French was conceived and cooked in Julia Child’s magical and simple kitchen in Provence, and her spirit grabs you on each page. Makenna Held puts her heart in the sumptuous and straightforward recipes modeled on French classics, and I’m certain I’ll be cooking my way through this book for many years to come.” –Daniel Leader, Founder, Bread Alone bakery
“One day I hope to visit "la Peetch" but in the meantime, I'm very happy to have Mostly French. Makenna Held describes the landscape and her cooking philosophy in ways that are evocative and aspirational but more importantly approachable. Who wouldn't want to make something called Celery Salad Gone Wild? I know I do.
After flipping through the pages for just a few minutes I started flagging recipes and imagining future dinner parties and special family meals. I want to create Makenna's beautiful world in my own home, and with Mostly French that seems altogether possible.” – Samantha Seneviratne, author of Bake Smart
“The little vacation house that Julia Child and her husband Paul built in the south of France—complete with the perfect kitchen—is the setting and inspiration for Makenna’s fun, easy-going, approachable cookbook. Mostly French is a total delight!”
—Luke Barr, New York Times Bestselling Author of Provence, 1970
"I want to eat this book! This is the kind of home cooked recipes that your grandmother teaches you... if your grandmother were Julia Child! Mostly French is a must-have for any home cook's kitchen from beginner to expert just wanting to feel inspired by the warmth of food and soleil from the South of France."
–Jamie Beck, author of NYT Bestseller An American in Provence
