March 2012 Monthly Contributor Giveaway

Farm Bell Recipes blog contributors are eligible (and automatically entered!) in a giveaway each month in which one contributor will be drawn (by random.org, using the days of the month that posts run) to receive a prize. Each month’s prize (and previous month’s winner) will be listed here, in a blog post on the Farm Bell Recipes blog, and in the Chickens in the Road newsletter.

The prize for the February contributor giveaway was a Sunbeam Donut Maker. Random.org selected #22. The post that ran on the Farm Bell Recipes blog on February 22 was Kitchen Fireworks by Robin from Rurification. (Robin, email me at [email protected] with your full name and address for shipping! I hope we’ve got a post coming up showing us how this donut maker works!)

If you submit a post, you will be notified in advance as to when your post will run. Posts run as space is available and are subject to editorial approval.

Posts on the Farm Bell blog may be recipes, cooking memories, kitchen chat, or just about anything and everything food-related. A trip down the pages of an old recipe book. A list of favorite old-fashioned kitchen gadgets. An ode to your favorite fruit or vegetable. Ideas for entertaining. Memories of learning to can with your grandmother. Your favorite ways to use up all that zucchini in the summer, or a sentimental set of dishes.

If it’s about cooking and the kitchen and food, it belongs on the Farm Bell blog!

The prize for the March contributor giveaway will be a copy of the 50th anniversary edition of Volume 1 of Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Have you seen the movie Julie and Julia? I watched it recently and became enamored with Julia Child–and searched down the book, which I’ve never had before. My mother didn’t own a copy, though I can remember seeing Julia Child on TV when I was a kid. I remember thinking she was a very strange woman–just so tall! And that voice! She was also a fascinating individual who had an amazing drive and talent. If you don’t have a copy of this book, here’s your chance.

We’d love to hear your voice!
