The folks at Penguin Group were kind enough to contact me to review a brand new cookbook, The Sweet Melissa Baking Book, by Melissa Murphy. The FUN news is that I also talked them into providing FIVE extra copies for a giveaway for our Blissfully Domestic readers. Do I love my peeps, or what?
Lets get down to the nitty gritty.
My first impression of the cookbook was that it has an eye pleasing, neat and tidy layout. The recipes are classics, but often with a twist to shake things up.
Just a few of the recipes that I bookmarked are: Mom’s Banana Apple Bread, Golden Almond Fruitcake (Fruitcake!), Sweet Almond Cake with Lemon Curd and Lemon Mascarpone Frosting, and Carrot Cake with Fresh Orange Cream Cheese Frosting.
The final verdict: If you love to bake, this cookbook is right up your alley!
Onto the giveaway! To enter, simply leave a comment on this post. Easy peasy.
This contest is for US residents only. One entry per household, please. Five winners will be chosen at random by me, using the Random Integer Generator. I will contact the winners via email, so make sure to list your valid email address if it is not listed in your profile. You must reply with your mailing address within 3 business days. If I don’t hear from you by that time, I will pick a new winner.
PSST! If you would like one more chance to win, visit Divine Domesticity, my personal blog. I am giving away one copy of The Sweet Melissa Baking Book! Be sure to check this post at Divine Domesticity to enter. Thanks Penguin Group!
*PLEASE NOTE*: Comments will close for entering this contest at 9:00 AM Monday, March 17th

Would love to win a new cookbook. How cool for you to be giving these away!
March 13th, 2008 at 11:09 am
Ok I’m not in the US, but my mother-in-law is and she would be happy to send it on if I win. Does that count?
P.S. For future contests, given the global scope of the internet, you might consider allowing international entries if they pay postage!? Most of us would be more than happy to do so!
