You still have time to win that free cookbook

As I said last week, I’m going to be giving away a cookbook once a month to the winner of a simple contest. This month’s book is “Great Bar Food at Home” by Kate Heyhoe.
Kate even commented on the blog contest herself! Here’s what she had to say:

“Brilliant idea, Lindsey! I am the author of Great Bar Food at Home, and I adore how you’ve thrown the gauntlet out to your readers. By the way, they can read outtakes and recipes from the book at GreatBarFood.com. For me, picking one favorite is tough, but I have many fond memories of Harry’s Bar in Venice, and the little toasted cheese sandwiches there, wrapped in pristine white napkins. I’ll look forward to seeing what your readers pick. And with wings, rumaki, garlic fries, prosciutto rolls, and all sorts of other treats in it, this book was written for everyone who loves bar food, especially those who prefer to munch on their bar food at home. Cheers! Kate Heyhoe (GlobalGourmet.com and GreatBarFood.com)”

So come on, y’all! You know you want to check out this book. All you have to do is write in and tell me your favorite bar food and why. The deadline to enter is noon on Wednesday.
