Win…

*This is not a paid post*

Earlier this month, I stumbled across this post in my Auckland-based Pinoy blogger-friend’s blog and of course, I wasted no time in posting a comment in the hope that I would win. It was a simple one that went like this: Ooooo…sushi!!! My girl loves those and she makes them sometimes, simple ones, of course. I bet she would love this “Complete Book of Sushi”…and imagine my delight when I received an email informing me that I had won and there was also an announcement in the blog to this effect…

It did not take long for the publishing firm, http://www.tuttlepublishing.com…

…to send me the coveted book prize and it got to me in just around three weeks later, all the way from the USA…

…in a rather big box. I thought that was really fast!

It’s in itself a very big book with lots of interesting and informative stuff inside…

…not just recipes and more recipes with all the lovely glossy photographs…

…and there are even some step-by-step pictorial guides…

I always feel that the predominant feature in Japanese cuisine that makes it stand out among the rest would be the beauty in its presentation, other than it being always very neat and clean-looking. That is why I would agree wholeheartedly with this remark in the foreword of the book…

My girl was delighted upon receiving the book and needless to say, so was I!

It was stated in the blogpost that there will be one winner of the following recipe book The Complete Book of Sushi plus your choice of a book from Tuttle Publishing worth US$25.00 and below and I did add to my aforementioned comment that…owing to the influence of the Korean dramas she (my  girl) watches faithfully and K-pop, she is so into anything Korean as well, including the food. She hopes to visit the country soon and I am sure she would love a copy of “A Geek in Korea”. .. and yes!!! It seems that they have sent this 2nd book separately and I have just collected it minutes ago from our national courier (poslaju) office as I was not at home when they delivered it to the house – I shall be blogging about it separately in another post.

I am indeed so delighted to receive the two books and I really appreciate the fact that they went through all that trouble to send it all the way from the US…and thank you so much, Raymund. Ummmm…any more contests coming up? LOL!!!

Footnote:
It seems that you can order the books online, so do feel free to click the link above to hop over to the publisher’s website to see what books they have in the many categories but unfortunately, there is free shipping when you spend more than $35 or more (on orders delivered within the United States) only.
