Thanks to Tami of Vegan Appetite who launched a generous give-away of my Blooming Platter Cookbook. It began on May 18, my dear papa’s birthday, and the winner was announced following week, my birthday week.

I would have notified you “Platterists” sooner, but somehow my “Google Alerts” didn’t pick it up…or I inadvertently missed it.  However, 51 other people didn’t (!),  miss it, that is.

Tami asked that interested readers enter the contest by sharing their favorite “bloom.”   Every flower that was named is a favorite of mine too.

No, we vegans don’t think alike, but we do have great “taste.”  <wink>
