WINNERS of Blog Anniversary Giveaways

Lucky winners were picked by Random.org - The problem was I picked about 20 numbers before I could get 5 from the US & Canada and 2 from the rest of the world - Thank all my wonderful friends who participated and gave their whole hearted support to my event - left to me, I would happily dole out these gifts to all who commented - but restrictions being what they are I had to pick the first 5 US/ Canada Residents and first 2 out of US/ Canada residents

Here are the winners from OUTSIDE of America
Premalatha Aravindan of Prema's Thaligai -Singapore 
Swathi Sapna of The Weekend Epicurean Mumbai
As to which book will go to who will be a surprise - because it too will be very randomly picked

The Winners in the US/ Canada are
Prabha Mani of Prabha's Samayal - 3 different kinds of Pastas
Gopika Ram of the Kitchen Affaire - 3 different kinds of Pastas
Mary of Inside a British Mom's Kitchen - Pasta Bowl
Priya Yallapantula of Mharo Rajasthan - Pasta Bowl
Madhavi of Vegetarian Medley - Pasta Bowl

For the US winners, please make sure you have fulfilled the event rules before sending me your addresses via email - Check event rules here please and make sure you've complied in all respects :)

Prabha Mani and Gopika Ram will receive the Pastas from Pasta Prima
Mary, Priya & Madhavi will receive the bowl courtesy again of Pasta Prima

Here is another IMPORTANT CAVEAT - If I don't here from you all within a week, I will be picking other winners ( I already have a bunch of numbers), so please email me directly after you read this announcement, of course making sure you've followed ALL the event rules.

Now Serving Turns One Today with A Giveaway Bonanza

Now Serving exciting times folks (: My blog is one year old fledgling now. I want to humbly thank everyone who has been visiting me without fail and leaving encouraging comments that really make this blog even more worthwhile to write, even if sometimes it seems like a full-time job (: From the bottom of my heart, I say “ thank you and please keep coming back…

I am thrilled to announce some giveaways at my blog what I like to call the October sweepstakes

There are 7 gifts to giveaway

5 for US residents (exclusively)

3 For Canadian Residents (of the 5 above)

2 For all others

I am happy to announce that Pasta Prima has most graciously offered several exciting giveaways to mark this milestone on my blog – The bummer is that this giveaway is only for my US & Canada audiences. This is simply because they are perishable items or too heavy to consider shipping to far away places.

A little about my Giveaway Sponsors

Those who have visited my blog in the past year know that more often than not I am constantly striving to promote healthy eating habits by providing healthier options for otherwise caloric and unhealthy food.  We are all given to breaking this rule and I am no exception J. If you visit their site, you will see that they take pride in making their pastas as natural as possible and in the most energy efficient ways possible by using green energy. They are also tuned into community causes and currently Breast Cancer Awareness, and giving back to the community. So this company in my books, is a winner all the way :) They seemed genuinely sorry that they could not extend their giveaways to countries beyond the US, BUT…

WAIT! I have two incredible books that will be given away to my friends anywhere else in the world besides US or Canada.

Celebrated Chef, Madhur Jaffrey’s Eastern Vegetarian Cooking

And NY Times Best Seller, The Sneaky Chef, by Missy Chase Lapine
