Dianne “Veggie Girl” is running a give-away of The Blooming Platter Cookbook: A Harvest of Seasonal Vegan Recipes!  Click on the link to go directly to her post where entering is simple!  Just leave her a comment at the bottom of the post sharing your favorite vegan dish, and then cross your fingers.  Hurry, as the contest ends this Thursday, May 19, with winners announced on Friday, May 20!

While you’re on the Veggie Girl site, enjoy all this vegan health counselor, cook, and writer has to offer.  I was completely “plattered” by the attention she lavished on TBPC as her featured cookbook.  And she’s bringing it back for a second week in a row!

Last week, she prepared and photographed five of the recipes from the book–and did a beautiful job with all–adding an intro plus comments that are thoughtful and generous in their praise of the dishes.  I love some of her twists, like serving my Chinese Tempeh Lettuce Wraps in collards when the lettuce didn’t look good at her grocery story (I am a south’ren gal, after all); or serving my Tofu with Tomato-Caper Wine Sauce over quinoa and kale for a nutritional powerhouse of a meal.

I can’t wait to see what this week holds!

Thank you so much, Dianne (aka Veggie Girl) from the bottom of my bloomin’ heart!
