Looking at the number of responses, I’d guess that my chances won’t be so great, but I’m entering anyway. I’m a collector of recipes from mysteries, and also of cookbooks in general (especially those on baking!), so winning this not only would satisfy my need for mysterious recipes, but look good on my cookbook shelf!
Many thanks for the opportunity!
