I know I promised I would announce this yesterday but what was I thinking…seems I spaced it was a kind of sort of holiday so here I am today!
I appreciate all of the kind comments and the new readers and hope you will stick around and enjoy more goodies I’m sure I will be posting from this amazing cookbook. But, for today, the lucky #30 is the winner and it’s Janet Ladue! I met Janet on Twitter where she goes by @ednascafe and some of us affectionately mingle her two names and call her Jedna. Thinking that was not quite enough I had to have a a nickname for her nickname so for me, she’s just Jed. But she’s not just any Jed!
Janet’s a stay at home mom in Phoenix and while raising her kids is also running a blog and doing custom cakes for local clientele all the while keeping up with her friends on Twitter…whew!
Her description of herself however is much better and funnier:
Busy mom of 4 who fell in a vat of buttercream & lived to tell the tale. Presently trying 2 kick fondants ass. Hot UPS hubby w/sexy calves…oh, and just a hair under 5’2″ !
We would be quite the pair in person cause I’m just a hair under 6′ – Mutt and Jeff revisited.
Take a peek at her cakes at FaceBook…you’ll be driving to Phoenix just to have one of these for your next party!
Many, many thanks to The Junior League of Denver for providing a copy of their cookbook for this giveaway. They produce the best cookbooks of this genre I’ve ever seen and sales all benefit the programs of the Junior League; serving families in need in the Denver Metro area. If anyone would like to purchase their own copy, they are available on their website.
As a reminder, some interesting facts about Colorado Classique:
- The Junior League of Denver’s 2009 cookbook Colorado Classique spent more than 10 weeks on the Denver Post’s best-seller list.
- Released last June (2009), the cookbook has sold more than 50,000 copies to date (3.25.10), making it the second most successful cookbook in the Denver League’s history during it’s first year. Colorado Colore (published 2002) currently holds first place after selling 85,000 copies in its debut year.
- Illustrated with photographs of breathtaking Colorado landscapes by noted photographer, John Fielder, who generously donated photographic rights for use in the book.
- Eye-catching and innovative food photos plus a cover which were exclusively commissioned for the book by internationally renowned photographer, Rick Souders.
- The recipe collection includes several new components, among them the nutritional content of each item, pairings with wine and beer, and a focus on fresh ingredients.
- Each recipe was triple-tested by volunteers by The Junior League of Denver.
