Cook the ‘Hood contest – Cookbooks up for grabs

2164

Focusing on neighbourhoods renowned for the foodie environment, Cook the ‘Hood has come to Kitsilano and is celebrating neighbourhood spirit while promoting local businesses. They’ve recruited 20+ socially-conscious businesses to contribute their closely-guarded cooking secrets to make up their inaugural Kitsilano edition.

So, when they reached out to Kitsilano.ca for support, we didn’t hesitate to get involved and our own Frances wrote up this description of Kitsilano for the new Kits edition’s centerfold.

Now the folks behind Cook The ‘Hood are showing us some local love and giving away five copies of their new Kitsilano edition to five lucky Kitsilano.ca readers. And we’ve made sure the contest is dead easy to enter.

To win a copy, simply comment on this blog post with your first name, email address (which will not be public), and which of the 22 locations you would like to pick up your copy if you win.

On December 16th we’ll announce the five winners and they’ll be emailed with instructions on how to claim their copy at their favorite participating Kitsilano eatery.
