Happy Birthday to Me Plus a Giveaway!

October 6, such a wonderful day….because it’s my birthday! Because I like to give as well as receive I have hosting my first giveaway!

While at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, I picked up 2 festival cookbooks: one for me and one for a lucky winner.

This year’s cookbook features 50 of the most requested recipes. Some of my favorites are the Lamb Slider (Wellington, New Zealand), Cheddar Cheese Soup (Montreal, Canada), and the Spanakopita (Athens, Greece). Beer and wine selections are also listed.
To enter the giveaway, answer the following question in the comments section and make sure you leave a method for me to contact you if you win (blog address or e-mail address):
What country would you visit just for the food alone?
One winner will be chosen by random.org’s integer generator based on the number of your comment below. The deadline to enter is Friday, October 9 at 12 noon EST.

    Happy Birthday!!

    What a tough question! Do I have to pick one?? Maybe Italy or Greece? But I love South American food too…

    It would be very hard for me to decide between Italy, France and Greece. My grandmother was Greek, so I'd like to experience some of the food I haven't had already. Italian is my favorite and I'd love to learn more about French cooking. 3-way tie? ;-D

    What country would you choose??

    I would have to say Germany. I love me some German food. Italy would be a close second.

    Italy or Greece. I haven't experienced as much greek food as I would like, so I guess that would be the top choice!

    Happy Birthday! I love birthdays. :)

    Oooh my. That's so hard to decide! I suppose I would lean towards Italy. The food, the wine, the sights and sounds!

    Happy Birthday!! I would say Italy for sure (and we just came back from a 16-day tour this past June)–and it was heaven for foodies like us. France was wonderful as well, but for a country that I have never visited, I would say Hong Kong.

    Happy Birthday! I would have to say Italy. Driving through the countryside eating in little villages. Having old women that speak no english teaching me how to make pasta. What a dream!

    I just read your Thursday post too. That looks like my kind of festival!

    I'd go to Taiwan just for the food. Of all the countries I've been to, that was one place where the food was always good, and I never got tired of it.
