I decided that I wanted to do a big giveaway as part of the launch of my book, Make Ahead Bread, and I decided to call upon the enter Virtual Potluck team - past and present members - to help me get the book of the launchpad. And they all said YES.
And then I sent some emails to a few companies I worked with in the past, and they all said, sure, we'll toss some stuff into the prize basket. You know, a few things here and there. Enough for 12 prizes!
This is what I've gathered:
Taunton Press, the publisher of my book, is supplying a total of 12 copies of Make Ahead Bread
, one to each winner.
.
SilverStone is giving a 5-piece set of bakeware (11x17 cookie pan, 10x15 cookie pan, 9x13 covered baking pan, 9x5 loaf pan and 9-inch cake pan) to one winner, in the winner's choice of red or blue.
King Arthur Flour is giving one winner a rye bread baking kit.
King Arthur Flour is giving each of the 12 winners a coupon for a bag of flour of your choice (good at your local supermarket) and a plastic bench scraper.
And Walker's Shortbread is supplying cookies to three winners.
That's a pretty amazing bunch of stuff, right?
So, this is how the prizes will be divvied up:
