Chef Patrick Cookbook Club - Giveaway Winner

WINNER ANNOUNCED FOR A COPY OF "A TAVOLA!" - THIS MONTH'S BARNES & NOBLE COOKBOOK CLUB SELECTION

Thanks to everyone for the great response to the cookbook giveaway - between readers of this blog, my Facebook friends and listeners to this week's What's Cooking Wednesday on HearSay with Cathy Lewis on WHRV 95.3FM, I had almost two dozen folks enter to win.

All the submitted emails were printed out and one winner was drawn at random.

The winner is ... Mary Jane Hall of Norfolk! Congratulations, Mary Jane.

In her email, Mary Jane writes, "My favorite was Amalfi's on Colley, alas.  Current favorite is La Bella in Ghent - the fixed price menu is a great value.  Shrimp parmesan my favorite entree. Best Italian pizza in the area in my opinion is Primo's Pizza on Princess Anne Rd. in [Virginia Beach]."

My note: Amalfi's is closed. 

Mary Jane, come down to the Barnes & Noble in MacArthur Center in downtown Norfolk this Sunday, 30 Aug. during the Chef Patrick Cookbook Club, from 1 until 3 p.m., to get your free copy of A Tavola!

And I hope to see all of you there! There will be a sample recipe from the book to taste, and we'll have a good time talking about the book, Italian food, and food in general in Hampton Roads.

Remember, this month's featured selection, A Tavola! and my book, Popcorn, will be discounted 15% the day of the event. Also, I will be available to autograph my book during the cookbook club.
