I usually hit the snooze button on my alarm a few times, but I bounced out of bed this morning and headed over to the minimart around the block from our place to get a newspaper because I’m quoted in the Boston Globe today! A reporter contacted me a few weeks ago for an interview about putting a unique twist on classic comfort foods when my recipe for caramelized shallot and crispy sage macaroni and cheese caught her eye. You can check out the Boston Globe site for the article and recipe!
And what better way to celebrate than with a giveaway! CSNstores.com is a Boston based online retailer that has a huge selection of home and office items, from bar stools and fitness equipment to wine refrigerators and bakeware. They have generously offered to give a BonJour Bain Marie set, which includes everything you need to make Crème Brulee successfully at home, to one lucky reader! The set includes a pro torch and four square ramekins that fit snuggly into a pan that contains a water bath – nothing says celebration like a perfect Crème Brulee!
There are two ways to enter:
1. Check out CSN’s over 200 online stores and leave a comment letting me know which one you had the most fun browsing.
2. Tweet about this giveaway or post about it on your blog or Facebook. Then come back and leave an additional comment with the link for your second entry.
Entries must be in by Wednesday, February 24 at 11:59pm EST. Good luck and thanks to CSN for hosting the giveaway!
Cake, Batter, and Bowl features my original recipes for quick, healthy, and inexpensive weeknight meals and indulgent weekend treats. Enjoy!
Cookware.com for sure! I get their emails and always dream about the products!
Congrats on the quote!
Congrats on being featured!!! How cool is that?? Fun giveaway too. I would love to win this fabulous prize. I had the most fun looking at the modern furniture store- Josh and I love modern stuff (http://www.allmodernfurniture.com/)
CSN Leather.com was my favorite… I am sad to look for a new couch, mine is about 23 years old, Italian leather and very comfy, but may need replacment in the next year, so I look and look and look…
That is so exciting – maybe I wouldn’t hit the snooze if my name were in the paper!
OMG, anything from cookware.com – and anything Le Creuset!! Great giveaway!
Congrats on the article – how cool. Your giveaway is the best, I love creme brulee. Cookware.com – I could spend hours there.
You should be featured in the Globe, not quoted! My favorite site to peruse was cookware.com. I am in the market for a good clad saute pan. No more non stick for me! Thank you
Hi Kerstin,
Congrats on the mention in Boston.com! That is so cool! Love it! And I can’t wait to try your mac and cheese recipe
I liked browsing the cookingware.com site. I am in dire need of new cookware, but I’m going to have to wait until I get more room (and more money).
Congrats again and thanks for this giveaway!

That is so exciting about the Boston globe article!! Congratulations
I agree with you, I’d pick mac and cheese over beet soup any day (my boyfriend is Polish, so I understand the man’s love for beet soup as well!)
I am alllllll over everyespressomachine.com. Is it bad that I’m such a caffeine addict?!
I of course checked out the bakeware (http://www.cookware.com/Bakeware-C17725.html) surprised?! But to counter that, I also looked at the fitness equipment
I absolutely love AllModernPet.com — everything is so unique!
Congrats on being in the Boston Globe, how cool! Awesome giveaway – I like browsing cookware.com!
Congrats, you’re famous! The timing of your giveaway is perfect because I’ve been wanting one of those torch things lately. I was a bit overwhelmed with CNN’s site but since all things baby are on my mind, I enjoyed looking at Strollers.com to see the selections available. Thanks!
Cookware.com would have to be my top one!
Oooh how cool to be in the Boston Globe–way to go!
I had fun looking at cookware.com. I love all the bakeware they have!

Oh, I had the most fun at the Outdoor Living furniture. I am so ready for spring!!!! As I was browsing, I was dreaming the snow was gone and I was about to go lay out outside.
Great giveaway. Cookware.com most definitely.
Cookware.com. No question about it. I got sucked in by the baking molds…so many shapes…so many possibilities!
This is the best giveaway I think I’ve ever entered! I’ve always wanted to be able to make creme brulee! (but no one seems to want me to own a torch…I can’t imagine why…)
I enjoyed looking at the indoor fountain since we are looking to get one for our living room…Lots to choose from
I chose bakeware because i have an obsession!
Congrats on being featured- that’s awesome!
I posted about your giveaway on my blog (http://yumventures.wordpress.com/2010/02/18/peanut-chicken-stir-fry/)…what can I say, I’m a sucker for creme brulee (and its gluten free)!
I love your blog and how exciting to be quoted in the paper!! I enjoy looking at the bakeware…if we each only had a “big checkbook”.
Congratulations – that is so exciting to be mentioned in the paper! I really enjoyed looking at the bakeware on CSN…great selection!
It is embarassing to admit that it would be dutchoven.com. I can’t seem to let go of my le cruset fixation lately!
I like the wallartstore the best. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Kudos to you! I hope she spelled your name right!
Hi Kerstin, I just posted about this giveaway on my blog post for today. Here is the link: http://healthychow.com/2010/02/19/chocolate-orange-cran-bars/
Have a nice weekend!
Kerstin, I think I would love to spend lots of time browsing through beddingsets.com. I am on the hunt for new sheets and stuff, so this is a perfect find for me! Thank you. Oh and I really want a creme brulee set, especially for the blow torch!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The living room furniture — I’m in the market for a new couch! They actually have some really cute ones, too! : )
Tweeted @PreventionRD !!!
Nice!! Hee hee, we were both contacted by CSN….I hope I get a chance to win something now! I’m just eyeing the slow-cooker!
I tweeted!
I’ve been looking for a desk for MONTHS, but never saw this site. I’m definitely going to check out their simply desks area!
I tweeted too! http://twitter.com/DinnerAtXtinas/status/9353990274
I forgot to say in my first comment this would be great to win! The bf saw the torch on a food network show and said “I know what I want for my next present” so we’d def. put it to use!!
cookware.com I could spend hours on this site!!
I have an obession with Le Crueset – so dutchoven.com! This is the only way my husband would allow this mini torch in the house – he’s convinced I’ll burn the place down!!
Not to be a copy cat, but cookwar.com of course! Specifically bakeware.
Of course, my favorite store would have to be the cookware.com. I love the bakeware – wish I could have lots of fun pans to bake cakes for my kids.
I had browsing the fitness equipment store. I wish I owned all of that equpiment!
Congrats on being quoted! Your macaroni and cheese sounds fabulous.
Congrats that is so cool! The mac and cheese sounds fantastic!
Congratulations on being quoted in the Boston Globe! That’s a great giveaway. I like the housewares/glassware store.
There is no question – cookware.com is hands down the best store of theirs! Although I have spent quite a bit of time at allmodern.com too.

Being obsessed with my pet dog, I have to say I enjoyed looking AllPetFurniture.com. Oh course my dog needs her own course!
Congrats on the article! I liked browisng the cookware section best.
I stopped by at http://www.everyespressomachine.com/ . Oh gosh I was looking at the newer la pavoni models. Drool….
I case anyone ever needs an espresso machine, that is the brand to buy! Makes it better than espresso bars.
My hubby is a chef, if he had this, he could make me Crème Brulee all the time! YUM!!!!
Any baking stuff from cookware.com
So nice of you to do this.
Thanks everyone – it’s always fun to see your name in print!
Apolinaras randomly picked number 55 – congrats Ashley!! I’ll be emailing you to get your shipping info!
