hello lovely readers, to celebrate the 100th post and 6 month blogiversary, c&t is giving away this lovely cookbook "Beyond The Great Wall, recipes and travels in the other China" by the amazing and adventurous jeffery alford and naomi duguid. i love their work and their photographs are the best. visuals. anywhere. great reading, seeing, and cooking all in one. you can read more about them and their book here and here. for me cooking really is an adventure.
anyway. all you have to do is leave a comment in the comments section of this post by sunday May 3 at midnight new york time. one lucky winner will be chosen by the random number generator. that's all just leave one comment. i will ship the book locally, nationally, or internationally or to any place that it isn't too terribly much trouble to send (not the international space station, for example). check back next week to see if you've won and we'll arrange shipping address etc via email. good luck and thanks for reading, it means the world to me.
I'm moving to Beijing this summer - this is the perfect thing to get my chinese home cooking started! :)

ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway, and congratulations on your 100th post! I love exploring new places by exploring the cuisine (my budget won't really allow me to go there in person these days).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the milestones!
ReplyDeleteI have really been enjoying your blog. The cookbook looks especially interesting--an inside peek into modern China along with the cuisine.

Wonderful gift. I do love to cook and recently my sister (who does not like to cook) returned from a solo trip to China with a new desire to learn. She said the countryside and the people were amazing and she hadn't felt safer anywhere! This has peaked my interest too. This books looks lovely.
ReplyDeletethanks for all your wonderful comments!
ReplyDeletecongrats! six months down, and a lifetime of good food to go :)
ReplyDeletemy roommate this past semester was from Chengdu, so now I can make passable sauce with dark soy sauce, plum vinegar and powdered sugar. but that's about all...this book would be so great!
great blog
ReplyDeleteHappy 100th post! I've been enjoying your blog tremendously, though I now realize i should read it daily instead of weekly. I missed the giveaway... but I still have the pots de crême!
