Cookbook Giveaway for a Healthier 2016!

Giveaway for a Healthier 2016!I Won . . .Now You, Too, Can Win A Cookbook Giveaway!

I wrote a comment for a cookbook giveaway on Margaret Roach’s entertaining and informative blog, A way to Garden. A month later an email from Margaret greeted me with the subject line, “You won Alana Chernila’s cookbook and other goodies.”  Then, in early Cookbook Giveaway for a Healthier 2016!December after the exchange of a few more emails, I received an autographed copy of Alana Chernila’s beautiful new cookbook, The Homemade Kitchen.

Although Alana’s thoughtful guidelines for cooks head each chapter, I went straight to the tempting recipes for everything from homemade cheese, kimchi, pot pies, platter salads to cheesy fish crackers. (My only grumble goes to the publisher. The book’s binding doesn’t allow the book to lie flat. Rather an important feature for a cookbook.)

“Do your best … then let go”
My giveaway winnings also included a matching tote with its backside printed with one of Alana’s guidelines. “Do your best … then let go.”

I could have/would have let go. However, in a thank you note to Margaret, I mentioned that one of the “other goodies” hadn’t arrived. Margaret followed through with the publicist. A day or two before Christmas, a second box arrived with the promised Zwilling chef’s knife. (Great knife. Very sharp and well-balanced.) With great delight, I also discovered two additional real-food cookbooks included in the box as a thank you for my patience. 🙂
