Please email me with your contact information.

And for all my lovely readers out there I apologize so much
for the lack of blogging on my part but I'm working like a mad woman.
I miss my hours of sitting here and writing but imagine me instead
standing outside in NYC selling my wares and I will be back very soon I promise.

December 1st Giveaway

Here's a chance to win the perfect gift for a food loving friend or family member.

As our year of seasonal recipes draws to a close Sung and I have produced
the entire year as a set of 12 folded gift cards. Each 5" x 7" card has the
original illustration on the front and the full recipe + nutritional benefits
on the back. They all come together with matching white envelopes.

So, they can be sent as cards, kept as a recipe book of sorts or even framed
and enjoyed in the kitchen.

Here's what you have to do. Pick a month and share a simple recipe using the
basic ingredients that are in season.
I can't wait to receive some truly international ideas and the winner will
be randomly picked next Tuesday December 8th.
