And the lucky fan is…

Last week I posted about my chance to meet my favorite Food Network star, Alton Brown.

It was a great experience. I had him autograph an extra copy of his new book, Good Eats, The Early Years for a lucky fan so that I could give it away on here. I loved reading all the things people love about AB. I’m definitely looking forward to making some more of his recipes now that I have two of his cookbooks.


As a reminder, you can still enter my Power of Pink Challenge until midnight (EST) on Saturday, October 31. Simply make something pink and get a chance to win a great pink prize.


And stay tuned next week when I’ll be featuring a Week of Pumpkin!

And now on to the reason you’re all here. The winner of the autographed cookbook. I used random.org to choose a random number between 1 and 319. And the lucky fan is…

Congratulations Rachel!!

 

Please email me your mailing address and I will get the book out to you as soon as possible.

    That chocolate cupcake recipe is still my go-to as well. Although the chocolate cupcake from CH: Coffee is a close 2nd. (The CH:Coffee one is fussier, so I still use the old one the most.)

    I would love to get my hands on this book. I am in charge of 2 upcoming bake sales, and inspiration is much needed.
