What a great prize! Last year I actually won something. I hope we will raise tons of money!
thannks Erin - this prize is going to spice up someone's New Year.
I can vouch for this prize! It's a wonderful book I am reading from the beginning, every night before I go to sleep. It's thorough and thoughtful, historical and informative.
Fantastic raffle gift!
Great gift, Erin. It's one of the new cookbooks that I'd love to own. I love the cooking from that part of the world. And I'm excited to discover a new blog (I grew up in LA)! I'll have to add you to my links page.
Very cool ... my mother raves about Penzy (I'm planning on visiting one of their stores over the holidays).
I did a roundup of the candy focused prizes over on my blog (but I'll probably be bidding on the cheese and wine packages).
Hi Erin, I've been dying to get my hands on this book, and what better way than Menu for Hope. I see that it's coming straight from Powell's, and I know they ship to Canada, but I just want to check with you that I can claim the prize if I live in Toronto?
Cheers, RS
thanks for the kind words everyone--I've been loving this book for the past few months--my holiday party this weekend will center on recipes from this book.
And big thanks to Sam and Pim for organizing such a great event.
