Third Anniversary Celebration and Giveaway – Winner Announced!

Posted July 1, 2013 By Adri

We Have a Winner!

Congratulations to Marie Beeman Raper, the winner of the $100.00 Gift Certificate for Olio2go and the Gift Set of Fonte di Foiano Extra Virgin Olive Oil!

Thank you to everyone for your congratulations and kind words. I wish to extend a sincere Thank You to Olio2go for their support of my Third Year Anniversary Celebration.

To wrap this up, the kitchen gizmo pictured in my contest is a macchinetta Napoletana, a Neapolitan flip coffee pot, also known as a cuccumella. Invented in France and adopted by the Italians, this ingenious device has been used to make coffee for generations.

Mille grazie!
