We were close to securing an interview with Harumi Kurihara on September 24 while she was in New York until her heavy travel schedule promoting Everyday Harumi caught up with her and she had to curtail her schedule that day.
We would have loved to share with you what she had to say on crepes and more.
All is not lost, conscious of our efforts and our interest in the book, Harumi Kurihara's publisher, Conran Octopus USA, offered us a treat of another kind, 3 signed copies of 'Everyday Harumi' to share with you.
Rather than give them all at once, we decided to run 3 mini contests with 1 book to win for each of them.
The 'Everyday Harumi' contest on 'Serge the Concierge' kicks off October 2 so you have the whole week-end to experiment.
For this first mini contest, we will emulate 'Julie and Julia'.
Pick one of the 60 something recipes in 'Everyday Harumi', cook it yourself, send us a video or a slide show showing your prowess, feel free to add some notes to your effort.
It can be a team effort.
Each mini-contest will run for 10 days so we must receive your submissions for this 1st one by October 11, 2009 (midnight, US eastern standard time).
E-mail your entry to sls [at] njconcierges [dot] com
If you cannot participate in this one, the second leg of the contest will start on October 16 and end on the 25th.
