Friday Giveaway - Handwritten Recipes: A Bookseller's Collection of Curious and Wonderful Recipes Forgotten Between the Pages (contest closed)

In case you haven't heard, my second book will hit the shelves on Tuesday. I can't tell you how excited I am to see what you all think of it. It's a gorgeous book, filled with interesting recipes, great vintage cookbook cover art and some fantastic recipe testing by bloggers who know what they're doing in the kitchen.

To celebrate, I'm giving away five copies of "Handwritten Recipes." I'll keep the contest open until Monday morning to make sure everyone gets a chance to enter.

Here are some pictures to whet your appetite:






Contest now closed, winners will be announced shortly.
