Welcome to book-drawing Wednesday, where we (I) give away a cookbook that we’ve (I’ve) gotten in the mail and must part with for the sake of our (my) desk (s).
The drawing this week was for “101 Soups, Salads & Sandwiches,” from Gooseberry Patch. The lucky winner is Janet Hansen. We’ll (I’ll) pop it in the mail today.

If you are not Janet Hansen, you can enter the drawing for "Baking Basics and Beyond: Learn These Simple Techniques and Bake Like a Pro,"by Pat Sinclair, by sending an e-mail to jennie.geisler@timesnews.com. Please include your NAME, MAILING ADDRESS and NAME OF THE BOOK you want. I’ll pick an lucky winner next Wednesday.

Meanwhile, feast your eyes on GINGERBREAD NECTARINE COBBLER.
