It’s no secret we love a great recipe. We share our absolute favorites via this blog — have you tried the Flower Crisps or the Pumpkin Layer Cake yet? — and our Recipes board on Pinterest. And we’ve been sharing great dishes to be served on — and often baked in — Nambé ware for more than 60 years.
In doing a little cleaning at Nambé HQ in Santa Fe, N.M., we came across the Cooking with Nambé cookbook. This cookbook was created by Pauline Platt Cable, the mother of Nambé. She, with her husband Paul, founded Nambé Mills. Pauline worked with the main designer at her foundry to create a metal that looks like silver but can be used for oven baking or stovetop cooking and never tarnishes.
Cooking with Nambé was printed in 1974 and features 50 recipes made to be served or cooked in Nambé. Each recipe features a list of recommended Nambé item numbers.
We can’t keep this treasure to ourselves.
We’re giving away one out-of-print copy of the Cooking with Nambé cookbook and one of our 2-quart Butterfly Bakers ($200 retail), which is perfect for making many of the dishes, like the B.J.’s Drunk Chicken recipe from page 13.
To enter the giveaway, simply fill out the Rafflecopter form below. This contest is open internationally. Just be sure to enter before May 1.

What a great spring cleaning find! Thank you, Nambe, for re-introducing this classic cookbook to the chefs, cooks and foodies of today. I’m sure it will be appreciated by all who see it.

From our first candlesticks, which we purchased in Ruidoso, to the quality cookware found in Santa Fe, Nambe never diasppoints.

I just received my first piece of Nambe’ as a retirement gift from my company. I love it! I was particularly happy to see that this was a long time product of the Southwest US..until I saw Made In India on the bottom of the box. Still love the piece but it certainly took my excitement down a couple notches.

I would use these dishes for appetizers, desserts and side dishes. They really make the food look superb.

My wife loves Nambe and over our years in the southwest she has accumulated a large collection of decorative and utilitarian pieces. However there is always room for one more.
