Naturally, I was pretty excited. Check out this terrific cover art:
I think it perfectly captures the book's spirit. I hope you enjoy it, it comes out on October 2nd.
So, to get you all talking about the new book, I thought I'd give away an old one:
This is "Lowney's Cook Book" prepared by Maria Willett Howard and published by the Lowney Company in 1912. It's filled with some great vintage recipes as well as some terrific color illustrations (hm, sounds like some other book we were just talking about).
To enter the giveaway, just leave a comment below. You can also enter over on Facebook, on twitter or via email. If you have any questions about Handwritten Recipes, go ahead and ask!
I'll gather up the entries and announce the winner in tomorrow's Forgotten Bookmarks post.
Good luck!

How exciting that your new book is almost ready! (I'm not entering the contest, just commenting on the news.)
Love the fabulous cover art for your new book. It's so perfectly vintage that at first glance, I thought it was the *old* book you were featuring today. The one actually on offer looks pretty yummy too!
Can't wait for the new cook book and would love to win the old cook book! As a collector, I'd like to add it to my shelves. Thanks for the give away!
Reading an old cookbook is like opening a door to the past so you can once again read a recipe over your Grandmother's shoulder :)

How exciting! I love cookbooks with illustrations and older, used ones with food stains on certain pages. Memories of great meals from the past...
Sign me up, please! I love cookbooks, old and new.
Congrats on book #2! I lost my vintage cookbooks (weep) in a flood. Most aggravating was the loss of the recipes from my grandma. (double weep).
Looking forward to your new book!
