Hello, everybody! I've neglected my poor blog because I'm been directing more energies toward my facebook pages, but I'll rectify that lapse right now with a giveaway!
I'm celebrating FIVE HUNDRED REVIEWS on The Pepper in the Gumbo. Thank everyone who left a review! I really appreciate you taking the time to hit those stars and leave a few words.
And to show my thanks I'm giving away some goodies.
I couldn't decide between Austen...
Or Louisiana cooking.
And then I thought, "It's MY giveaway. Why not BOTH?"So, here we gooooooo!
One "I love Darcy tote" bag. You can buy your own right here!
One set of Emma by Jane Austen refrigerator poetry. I LOVE this set!
One copy of Southern Cakes. BEST cake book ever!
Of course, this book is a close runner-up. You can never have too many Southern Cake and pies cookbooks, right??
(And if you're more of a pie person, you can find the best of Southern Pies in this little book here...)
And the great granddaddy of giveaway cookbooks-- A copy of River Road Recipes. You can read the description here but it's an amazing collection of Louisiana family recipes from the River Road area. It's the nation's #1 community cookbook, with 650 Cajun and Creole dishes, including the most basic beginner's recipe like "How to Make a Roux". I never get tired of reading through this cookbook!
If you can't wait to see if you've won, you can always get your own copy here. I give them out for Christmas!
Enter here and best of luck!

Tied between Pride & Prejudice and Emma! I don't cook alot, but I love food! I made chicken curry once or twice for my boyfriend, a super easy recipe, and he loved it <3
ReplyDeleteI love Persuasion. It is probably by Jane Austen. As for cooking, still slowly learning!
ReplyDeleteFavorite Jane Austen ... P&P and Emma! I cook because my family needs to eat, but I'd much rather read. :)
ReplyDeleteFave Austen book has got to be Pride and Prejudice!

ReplyDeleteI love all of Jane Austen's works for different reasons...but, if I had to pick, I'd say Persuasion. And, I love trying new recipes. Feeding people is my spiritual gift! ;)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Jane Austen is "Persuasion". I can so identify with Ann. I love to cook and bake, but I have to say that I love all things Fall. Hearty soups and stews, apple and pumpkin desserts. Can't get enough.
ReplyDeleteI love Emma (actually the movies, too) and cooking is not part of my DNA. LOL. I try to cook and love to eat home made goodies, but alas, something always goes wrong.

ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful series. I'm on book two after reading the first book twice. The stories you weave and the references you draw from literature are so creative. I'm a homeschooling mom of four trying to carve out time to write the book God has laid on my heart. When I feel out of time, creativity and energy, I'll think of you and Elizabeth Gaskell somehow filling pages with kids in the mix. Many blessings!
