Le Creuset Thank You Giveaway!

by Cara Nicoletti on February 5, 2013

Le Creuset Heart-Shaped 2 Quart Dutch Oven from The Brooklyn Kitchen

Okay people, I promised you I would do something great to thank you for all of your support. This is the first installment in a few awesomely spectacular thank you giveaways that I plan on doing, and I think it’s a pretty fantastic one. Here we go.

Listen, Valentine’s day is coming up, and Valentine’s day is a great day. Whether you are single or married or dating or whatever, there is a lot of chocolate involved in this holiday, so I think that it’s one we can all get behind. Le Creuset dutch ovens are classic and beautiful and they last forever and this one is hands down the cutest one I’ve ever seen. It’s the perfect size to make a romantic meal for two, or a towering, show-stopping chocolate or lemon souffle. If there was ever a piece of romantic cookware, one that says “I love you, you deserve this beautiful thing” more than it says “I hope that you will cook for me more often” this is it. It’s heart-shaped for cripes sake! I will also provide the winner with a few of my favorite dutch oven recipes! So here’s how this giveaway is going to work:

Like Yummy Books on Facebook for 1 entry

I have already liked you on FB (I just “re-liked” you) and I subscribe to this newsletter. Although I truly do not understand how to use Twitter efficiently, I THINK I have “followed” you there also. I need a Twitter tutorial, I think. In any case, I enjoy all of your venues and wish you well. Keep up the marvelous work — reading and cooking — what could be better?

I somehow wasn’t following you on fb or twitter–and now I’ve rectified both of those situations!
