Today is a very special day for me.

It is the official release date of my new book Heather Christo’s Generous Table, Easy and Elegant Recipes through the Seasons.

Heather Christo's Generous Table Cover

It is a book filled with love and it was written just for you.

Heather Christos Generous Table

I chronicled a year in the life of our young family and all of the reasons that we have family and friends over to eat, (I organized it by season, because that is really how we eat) and then I bundled them up in this book!

Heather Christos Generous Table

105 recipes, and tons of photographs.

I also threw in some of my signature entertaining tidbits,

And lots of fun drinks!

But really, it is mostly about the mouthwatering recipes, and the love.

Heather Christos Generous Table

The entire book is about sharing the love of food with friends and family and I hope more than anything you enjoy it.

You can find it at Barnes and Noble, on Amazon and pretty much at all your local bookstores. You can also check your local Costco! Please grab one for yourself, but they would also make a great mothers day gift!! Wink, wink.

To celebrate this exciting day, I thought about what great thing I would love to give away that had to do with the book. I already have a shiny kitchen aid mixer and a gorgeous enameled skillet up for grabs, but you know what else you need??

A food processor. They make the crust on my books Leek, Ham and Gruyere Quiche come together in a snap. The Lemon Tart with an Almond Shortbread Crust is extra tender after a whirl in the food processor. And it makes the dough for the Lemon Raspberry Scones so simple and the Spicy Olive Tapenade a snap. I love my food processor. I really do, so today I am going to put one up for grabs for you guys too.
