Hi Suzie, I would love to win; because I love to cook. I am always looking at new ways to create good food for my family. I love introducing them to different cultures so that they won’t be narrow minded or afraid to try things. I have seen the wonderful things you cook and I would love to learn how to make some of the delicious food I see you post and bring that into my own kitchen. I think you are amazing Suzie, keep being just the way you are. tigger231975_1999@yahoo.com xoxo Yvonne
Hello Suzie, I wouldn’t mind winning this cookbook & adding it to my collection, trying some new recipes.

My Chili Heads welcome you.
I follow already 🙂
I would love this cookbook! Growing up in the Annapolis Valley with a lot of old school women in the family that could cook up a mean dinner out of anything. I’m sure that there will be some familiar recipes inside.
This looks very interesting. I’m always curious as to what my fellow Canadians were (are)cooking in their part of this vast country.

Susie,I might not have grown up in the Maritimes, but definitely have a soft spot for this part of our vast country. We spent countless pleasurable vacations on the east coast when our kids were growing up. There is no better place to get away from it all….slower pace of life and fantastic people! Would love to try the recipes from this book.
Hi Suzie I would love this cookbook because I love trying new recipes and finding great fall back recipes which I think this would have loads of. It looks like a great old time cookbook!
Hi Suzie ,
Nice giveaway !!!!
It would be kewl to own an item like this one so I could refer to it if a fellow foodie was looking for a paticular recipe and couldn’t find it like the last one I passed on to you to pass on to your elderly friend. Helping each other out makes for a better community.

I love cookbooks that have historical stories behind the recipes. There’s something about the way things were done “back then.” Maybe I’m still clinging to memories of a past life but I feel very nostaligic when I see pictures like the one on the cover, cooking over the wood stove with a kettle hanging over the fireplace. So comforting.
I would like to have this book to try something new!! Sometimes everything seems so stale when you cook it over and over again!! Here’s hoping!!!

Great final giveaway Suzie! I’m a bit of a cookbook collector, so I would love to add this to my library. I’m always looking for new things to try when entertaining guests and it would be great to make local recipes for out-of-towners.
Thanks!
This would go great in my kitchen because I love reading older recipes. Some of my favorites are from the old cookbooks you could buy from the community that were spiraled bound! They are the best!!
I’d love this cookbook!
I would remind me often od our trip down East last summer. Oh how I wish we could afford to do that every year!!!!!!

Oh this looks fun! I love cookbooks, and I’ve always been fascinated by Nova Scotia (Anne of Green Gables was a favorite story!) durhamimms@gmail.com 🙂
I grew up with this book in my parents’ kitchen and it was lovingly used for many of its recipes over the years. Would love to have a copy for my own kitchen! Using tried and true traditional recipes is sometimes as much fun as experimenting! tammihayne [at] gmail [dot] com.
I love to cook – and I love to travel! So, cook books from regional places are my favorites – cause they let me experience the food that the area eats…
Again, Congrats!!!

Thanks for the giveaway!
This book would be great for my kitchen because I was born and raised in Nova Scotia. We only get back there every few years and I would love a little taste of home

Thanks for another great giveaway!
I’d love to win this, because although I grew up on the Prairies, I love to try recipes from different regions – and the stories in this book sound great!
I started reading your blog a few weeks ago and greatly enjoy it!
I grew up in NS and moved to Vancouver with my now husband 5 years ago. I would love to win this book so I can cook for my friends and family a little taste of my home and because this book gives me memories of my mom cooking from the older version of this book when I was just a child.

Great giveaway!
I would love to learn and try out all the wonderful traditional recipes of Nova Scotia. Its would be really interesting to read all the stories the people shared in the book. It be a great tool to learn more about the Maritimes in the food aspect.

I like to cook and I have no clue about food from this region so it will be interesting to read (and try them out). Thank you for sharing.

Hi Suzie,
I would truly appreciate this cookbook! I am originally from Cape Breton, but currently living in NB. I am a dietitian, and enjoying trying new recipes(and occasionally modifying to improve their nutritional value :)to share with my clients. My mom is also turning 65 this year, and she has passed on so many wonderful recipes to me, I would love to share this with her!
Heidi again – Sorry, but I am not sure if you can access my contact info – (as I didn’t type in with my comment)heidijeanmorr@gmail.com OR heidimor@nb.sympatico.ca.
Thanks!
Well, I have followed for years! I love old recipes too!
The Honorable Allan J. MacEachen gave an old copy of this to my mother two years ago so that she could make the old fashioned griddle cakes when he comes by for tea and a “sweetum” on occasion. I have been looking for a copy ever since. It is tough to recreate the tastes of my youth here in Arizona, US… Sláinte chugat! (frequencyhop@gmail.com)
I would love to win this as I truly enjoy experimenting in the kitchen and discovering new tastes. Also my boyfriend/soon to be fiancée is in the Air Force and theres a good possibility of being posted out East…what better way to prepare myself then to get to know the food! 🙂
Oops, hit send too soon! cassandrasiemens@gmail.com
Thanks for all the fabulous entries! Contest is now closed and winner will be announced on Monday. Good luck everyone!
