a year at AVOCA - Giveaway




As announced and promised during my last posts:
 Here comes my giveaway:
AVOCA`s latest cookbook!

A feast for the eye and the soul!
See for yourself:





Tried this one - wholesome and delicious!



Nectarine clafoutis - I tried it and we ate it in one go...



It's a book with delicious recipes for every season 
 (I have tried some of them since my return from Ireland and
 they were all yummy and tasty and easy to follow)
 and it is a book with simply great ideas and photographs.


This picture looks like it's at AVOCA's but it is at Emilie's daughter's place...
 I hope you like it all the same...

If you would like to participate in the giveaway - leave a comment.
Closure is on August 24th, 7 pm. 
The more comments you leave during the week, the bigger your chance! 
Please note that I will ship the book to every corner of the world.

GOOD LUCK!

Here comes the link to the website of AVOCA:


Happy Friday ! 
Thanks so much for sharing my AVOCA passion!

♥  Emilie's daughter ♥ 

PS. My computer broke down yesterday - it was impossible to restart it and it has to go to the doctor - keep your fingers crossed that he can fix it! Presently I am using my son's - he was not happy but generous enough...

    Hej Christa,
    bei diesen Bildern im Buch muß ich einfach mitmachen!
    Das sieht sooooo toll aus!
    Leider kann ich nicht so viele Kommentare abgeben, da ich ja am Sonntag nach Schweden aufbreche!
    Aber die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt!
    Dein Plätzchen auf dem Balkon ist übrigens ganz entzückend!
    Für deinen Computer drück ich dir die Daumen ganz fest!
    Magst du mir deine Adresse mailen, zwecks Urlaubs-Post?
    Mach dir eine schöne Zeit, auch ohne mich, schnüff!
    ♥lichst
    Manuela

    Dear Christa - hope the computer is fixed soon, and very generous of your son to let you borrow his. One recipe I picked out in particular is the parsnip and hazelnut stack - sounds a tasty and very interesting combination.
