The winner of the first olive oil giveaway is Laura Bloom from Boulder, Colorado. She said:

“My absolute favorite way to enjoy fine extra virgin olive oil, is a last minute, generous, drizzle on a bowl of hot, soft polenta or a lovely pappardelle and spring vegetable dish. This final touch is what makes the dish.”

Congratulations Laura – I’ll be sending you an email to get shipping details!

I’m off to New York this weekend to help my son hunt for an apartment – check back next week for some restaurant and dining hot tips!
