It is that time already…time to announce the winner of the October giveaway and to announce the selection for November!
Congratulations to Phyllis from Ohio for winning the October giveaway book The Cheesemonger’s Seasons: Recipes for Enjoying Cheeses with Ripe Fruits and Vegetables by Chester Hastings. Enjoy!
The November selection is a wonderful first cookbook by The Mast Brothers! Do you remember when I took you to their flagship factory and retail shop in Brooklyn for a Friday field trip?
Rick and Michael Mast are chocolate masters. Roasting cacao beans in small batches, The Mast Brothers create truly handmade chocolate – one of the few American chocolate makers to do so.
In this first cookbook, Mast Brothers Chocolate: A Family Cookbook, the brothers tell the story of how they began their journey as chocolate makers. And, in keeping with the Mast Brothers’ philosophy – elegant simplicity – recipes emphasize great ingredients and straightforward preparations. This book includes beautiful photographs and the Mast Brothers’ signature custom paper designs throughout.
I plan to use recipes from this book to make some very special chocolate gifts for the holiday season. Win a copy of this book so that you, too, can use the recipes to create some very special (and delicious) gifts. Just leave a comment, and you are entered to win! Good luck!
Instagram users – for this month’s challenge, the theme is gratitude. Please use the hashtag #pleasuregram to share your photos.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a safe Halloween and a wonderful weekend.
Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
Would love this cookbook!!!!!
HAPPY HALLOOWEEN!!!!!
You are entered to win! :)
What a wonderful treat – to stop by for a visit on the day with giveaway potential! Please enter me in the contest, too! I’ll scroll back and look for the Friday Field trip to Mast Brothers. My youngest son is applying to several colleges in NY so perhaps we’ll have a chance to visit, too. Also, I love your banner images – simple and organic.
Donna…just click on the words Friday Field Trip on the post and you can link right to the post on Mast Brothers! It is a super place! Shoot me an email…would love to hear about your plans for college trips! And, you are entered to win the book!
Will have to definitely try the hazelnut spread recipes as both of my girls love Nutella. This fresh recipe sounds delish!
It is so wonderful! And, you can control the texture – depending on how finely you blend the ingredients…enjoy!
