A Winning Cookbook

This is Suzie Ridler, blogger and foodie extrodinaire who has one of my favorite blogs -- SuzietheFoodie. She's from Halifax, NS and describes herself as "Foodie, writer, photographer, reviewer and self-taught cook and baker. Welcome to my test kitchen."

.

She recently hosted a cookbook giveaway with fellow Haligonian Shelagh Duffett who posts another of my favorite blogs, Alice in Paris Loves Art and Tea.

.

Guess who won the giveaway? Moi!! And what a gem of a little cookbook!.
I was pleased to have won, of course. But upon looking through the book last night, I am extremely pleased. It's chock-a-block of great recipes like these:

• Sun Dried Tomato Pesto on Brie (Emmmm)
• Romaine and Mandarin Salad (Yum yum)
• Nova Scotia Vegetable Hodge Podge (Slurp)
• Luscious Ginger Cake with Crystallised Ginger Cream Frosting (OMG!)

I was salivating all over my nightie as I read through it in bed. Yum!

.

However, I have to wait to try the recipes as I begin my vacation tonight. But if I've excited your salivary glands and you simply cannot wait for me, Suzie has highlighted a couple of the recipes on her blog.

.

Even better, you can pick up a copy of Shelagh's book for yourself here at Amazon:

Nova Scotia Potluck: Yummy Food for Friends and Family
.

.

A huge THANK YOU to both Suzie and Shelagh.

.

I'm looking forward to working my way through the cookbook once I return.
