The past few weeks have been a blur of airports and book events, interspersed with caring for three little ones sick with colds. I’m currently in warm Austin, Texas when I hosted an author signing and am catching up with friends over fantastic barbecue and Tex-Mex.

I had to drop in and share a few posts from around the web because there are a whole bunch of opportunities to win a copy of Brown Eggs and Jam Jars. Advance copies have been in the hands of food bloggers for several weeks now, and they are sharing their initial thought on the cookbook.

It’s been an honour to have my book in their kitchens. I’m still wrapping my head around the fact that this long-awaited project is out there, but it most definitely is because I’ve signed copies from Montreal to Vancouver!

So without further ado, here’s a round-up of links featuring Brown Eggs and Jam Jars and how you can win a copy:



Reviews & News:

The local news paper in my hometown did a lovely write up, which tells the story of how I got started in restaurants.

Tim and Angela (the books photographers) wrote a really fun behind-the-scenes post about the photography: Behind the Cookbook (Part 1 of 2)

The Winnipeg Free press (my birth town!) published a story about the book: ‘Brown Eggs and Jam Jars’ cookbook inspired by urban homesteading lifestyle.

Jessica from Good Cheap Eats reviewed the book.

Alana from Eating from the Ground Up reviewed the book and shared a different kind of love story.
