Those of you who know me, know that if I had to tell you the most important things in my life after my family and my PicMonkey [1] “Royale” membership, high up on the list would most likely be my 5 1/2 quart Le Creuset Dutch Oven [2], presented to us as a wedding gift 17 years ago this month. So given our anniversary, given that we’re closing in on braising season, and given that a few of my favorite meals in Playbook [3] involve a Dutch Oven, I’m offering that giveaway I promised way back in the decidedly non-braising season of August. One lucky Playbook reader will be the recipient of a free 5 1/2 quart Le Creuset Dutch Oven [2] (your choice of color). All you have to do to be eligible to win is answer this question: What’s your favorite recipe, trick, tip, detail, or piece of advice in the book? Whatever your answer is, head to the Playbook [3] page, and hashtag it #DinnerPlaybookLC so I can find you. Good luck! (One commenter will be chosen at random; Contest ends Friday, September 19, 12:00 ET.)
Recipes shown are all my old friends: Sunday Minestrone [4], Braised Short Ribs [5], Pork Ragu with Pappardelle [6], Pulled BBQ Chicken [7].
