Book Giveaway: A Pig in Provence by Georgeanne Brennan
So, I was just introduced to Yummr, which is a foodie community website with a social networking bent. The deal there is that you can share recipes and cooking videos, and by participation earn points towards winning prizes at their Bazaar, which was most recently updated to include a few copies of Jacques Pepin’s Fast Food My Way.
Courtesy of Houghton-Mifflin Books, Yummr is offering to send a copy of A Pig in Provence by Georgeanne Brennan free to one of you folks who read my blog.
In order to win a copy of the book, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. Around the end of next week, I’ll pick one name randomly, and Yummr will mail the winner a copy of A Pig in Provence. The only restriction is that you must be a resident of the US or Canada.
Good luck!

Is this book my biography? ;-)
Thanks for the intro to yummr. Sounds far more interesting than mySpace!

would love a new read — thanks!
August 6th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
Provence actually means the “country,” usually referring to the south of France. If you can apply the word to the United States, it could easily be my autobiography. LOL
August 6th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
Oh! I’ve been wanting to read this book!

I love Brennen’s other books, so I imagine this one will be equally stupendous with alarmingly enticing photos. Thanks!

So many blogs and sites. So little time. Always happy to have someone map my voyage of discovery to a site I hadn’t previously known about.
