The winner of Jane Lawson's Snowflakes and Schnapps giveaway has been decided.
Jane Lawson, the author of Snowflakes and Schnapps cookbook was delighted to pick a winner from the overwhelming responses to this giveaway.
Here is a lovely message form Jane:
"Wow that was difficult! I loved so many of the stories and was touched particularly by their childhood memories such as picking strawberries as I did with my own family - only I was offered a choice of manure or cream as a topping, and at the ripe age of 3 or 4 I opted for the manure hoping it was chocolate....thankfully my food knowledge is a little stronger now."
"There seemed to be a common theme of family and home and I think one of the best things about being involved with food - professionally or otherwise is indeed the ability to share the experience with people you care about. Whether it is your child’s first “real” meal, to quote one reader, or the last dish you cooked with a since departed loved one, planning a dinner party for your best buddies , introducing a new food to an appreciative acquaintance, dining in a flash restaurant or simply gathering the family for a Sunday night roast it is a clear reminder that food is not just fuel for the tank but an important and simple way to nurture our souls and minds. For this reason I chose Charity’s story - how lovely for a daughter to spend time with her father pouring through cookbooks while they chat and plan the meal they will then shop for and cook together. My father passed away almost 12 years ago now and while there there many things we didn’t see eye to eye on, we shared a love of good food - it still bonds us today. I know Charity will cherish these times with her father for the rest of her life and shortly she will have a new book from which to boost their repertoire – I expect a report back of course!!"
