A Very Foodie Giveaway
If you've spent much time around this blog, you know that I'm always finding a way to write about food. Today I'm thrilled to be part of a foodie themed giveaway with some of my favorite writers (and a new friend). We've all chosen food-related gifts to give away, and one lucky winner will win it all!
I've chosen to give away Ruth Reichl's book Garlic and Sapphires (which is about her time as a food critic for the New York Times, and one of the first things I read as a new food critic), and a set of two black and white polka-dotted Rikon knives (one of the only kitchen things this anxious cook uses every day).
If you're unfamiliar with these authors, I think you'll be in for a joyous surprise. These women are beautiful writers.
Feel free to click on the pictures below to get a better look!
Here is the whole giveaway package.
