I just want to thank you and tell you how happy I am to have won Bress ‘n’ Nyam: The Gullah Geechee Recipes from a Sixth Generation Farmer by Matthew Raiford with Amy Paige Condon. This book is RICH, and I LOVE reading all that’s shared in this book. My daughter is named Amy, and she, as well as her husband, are very much into the Gullah Geechee Lifestyle. It makes this more special as some of my daughter’s ancestors may have come through South Carolina/Georgia area and her husband has relatives scattered throughout Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida. I enjoy all cultures and foods, and this is fascinating to read about food from growing to eating. Thank you again!!!  Oh, the last question on this was do people really win your giveaways? Yes, YES they DO win!!!
–Cynthia Vandaveer, Bress ‘n’ Nyam: The Gullah Geechee Recipes from a Sixth Generation Farmer

I just wanted to thank Leite’s Culinaria for the lovely cookbook, Blooms and Baking by Amy Ho, that I won. It arrived remarkably quickly considering the pandemic situation. I had two family birthdays this August and made two cakes from the cookbook. Both parties were really happy with the results. I can’t wait to try out as many recipes as possible from the book. Overall I am thrilled to have found Leite’s Culinaria. I love the diversity of recipes. I recently made the simple but delicious riz au lait, and it turned out wonderfully. Thanks again!
–Anna C, Blooms and Baking

–Jayne H., Cincinnati, OH, OXO Good Grips 3.5 Quart Covered Saucepan

Thank you very much for the super nice Braun Brew Sense coffee maker that I just received yesterday (on New Year’s Eve !). I couldn’t ask for a nicer or higher quality appliance to start the new year with. I’m a huge coffee drinker, so it found the right house. I play your sweepstakes daily. This is the proof that the old saying “perseverance pays” is true. Again, I sincerely thank you very much.
–Eugen N., Braun Brew Sense Coffee Maker 

Thank you so much for my Soups cookbook! It has amazing recipes, and I usually don’t care for soup! I am looking forward to making the Chunky Cheeseburger soup tonite but am omitting the celery, as I do not like the taste. THANK YOU!

I won the Cookbook Book by Annahita Kamali and Florian Bohm and want to thank all the staff for the great job done with this cooking site. I look around here every day and test some recipes. I especially like the recipes link on the giveaway pages. I was surprised to see the book, Special Effects Cookbook by Michael E. Samonek, that I used when my children were in elementary school.  I loved the history of various recipes and the visual appeal of all the cookbook covers. I plan on sharing these recipes with my family and ordering a book online as a gift. Thanks again.
–Cindy S., Cookbook Book

Thank you very much for the copy of Eat More Dessert, by Jenny Keller, that I won in the Giveaway!  It arrived last Friday, while I was away, and when I returned last night it was the first mail I opened.

I wanted to really read through it before sending this, and perused it this afternoon and evening.  What a beautiful book, and what delightful recipes!  Jenny Keller has written a terrific guide for modern bakers and cooks.  I’m especially impressed by the thorough lists of ingredients, supplies and implements needed for each recipe.  She also gives many helpful and informative tips about ingredients or brands that she favors and the reasons why some work better than others.  This lady really is an expert baker, and I can’t wait to try at least one recipe to make something good for Halloween!
–Rose Marie W., Eat More Dessert, by Jenny Keller

My toaster prize arrived today, only 12 days since I first learned I won! I couldn’t wait to open it and have already made a “test slice” of toast! It came out perfectly! I love it! Here it is in its new home. Thanks again!! You are the best!
—Pamela C., Cuisinart Custom Select 4-slice Toaster

–Linda K., Cuisinart Griddler Deluxe

Soooo excited about the set of cookware. Every piece is nice, feels good in the hand while holding it, and is well balanced—not too heavy nor too light. We will enjoy using these for years to come!!

–DP, Mug Cakes

–Stacey, Cusinart Electric Pressure Cooker

I wanted to send this email to say thank you once again for the nice prize of the Kitchen Maestro Utensil Set.  The package arrived yesterday in the mail and I was able to surprise my wife when she came home from work. She was thrilled with the utensils.  Until learning about the giveaways that you host we had not been aware of your website, but since finding it we have enjoyed trying some of the recipes and enjoy reading the blog postings.  Thank you again for hosting the giveaways and for making such an informative website.
–Bill R., Kitchen Maestro Utensil Set

–Aaron T, Le Creuset Bistro Grill Pan

Now that was quick delivery! As you emailed to notify me, I received the Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Everyday Pan late yesterday. It is super, larger than I expected and unlike the little Calphalon pan that I now have. My thanks to you and Leite’s Culinaria for the opportunity to win such a useful and essential prize. This is definitely my new “everyday” pan. Thank you so very much!

Please convey my sincere appreciation to the author and the entire LC staff.  I was hoping if I won a cookbook, that The Complete Chinese Cookbook by Ken Hom would be the one. Enamored with cooking since I was 5 years old, I delved into Chinese cuisine after the Southern cooking I was raised on.  Besides being able to brag about your site and winning something of great interest to me, this will become part of a culinary legacy I hope to one day pass on to my grandchildren. That is, of course, whenever my daughter decides to get with the program…no pressure.
—Wayne G, The Complete Chinese Cookbook

All of these just arrived today, with the gift card I won back in March: a 4-piece, high-heat use utensil set, 2 funnel pitchers, 2 sizes of burger presses, a mini loaf pan, and a digital thermometer. Thanks again for this great opportunity and prizes!!!!
—Jen Z., CHEFS Catalog Loyal Sweeper Gift Card

WOW! That was FAST DELIVERY! I received my new blender. It is BEAUTIFUL. Can’t wait to use it. Margaritas tonight! Thank you VERY much. The first time I came upon the Leite’s Culinaria site was due to a giveaway entry for the Waring Pro blender. It is crazy that I should win it now. I love your site. The recipes are amazing! Thanks to David for that. Also LOVE the Giveaways! Such HIGH-QUALITY prizes!  Still hard to believe I won the prize that initially drew me to the site. I just had to wait about a year!
—Clifford H., Waring Pro Professional Blender

Again, thank you so much. I am thrilled! I love your site. The recipes, the blog, the Ask David segment…I’ve learned so much, tried so many new things. It’s my daily read. And the number of giveaways you have is nothing short of amazing. If there was only an “enter all” button. 😉 Thank you.
—Lynn J., SousVide Supreme Vacuum Sealer

I received my 45-piece set of Henckels Opus Flatware. It is just beautiful and will make a lovely addition to my table setting. I am so happy that I can not wipe the smile off my face. Best to all.

YAY!!!! Thank you, thank you for the iPad Mini. David, do you remember our correspondence a couple of months ago? I’d been entering your giveaways regularly. I’m so happy that I’ve won something—and an iPad Mini no less! Thanks again for offering these fantastic prizes.
—Lilianne L., Apple iPad Mini

This is just to thank you very much for the chance to win an awesome prize—a Hamilton Beach Brew Station. I, along with my family, am enjoying it very much, and I hope to win other prizes because I am still entering daily. Thank you.
—Sherry F., Hamilton Beach BrewStation

Just wanted to let you know how much I love the cookbook I recently won, A Good Food Day by Marco Canora. I know it will go a long way to helping us improve our food routines as we finally “get it” that GOOD food can and should taste wonderful. We struggle with many of the food issues addressed by the author and it’s inspiring to know that he has solved so many food “gotchas.” And the photos!! Holy cow, I want to eat up the very pages they’re printed on! Thank you very much. This prize made my day—and way beyond.
—Lorraine H., A Good Food Day

Hi there! Just want to thank Leite’s Culinaria for this delicious book. I can’t wait to make something for my daughter to eat.
Karen H–Let’s Do Brunch

Dear Leite’s Culinaria, this is my new cookbook in its new home. My favorite recipe so far is the pork carnitas!!! Thank you again, I love it!
Nicole F.–The SkinnyTaste Cookbook

Just wanted to let you know the panini grill is here and we are looking forward to giving it a workout. Can’t wait to see what it can do with leftover Easter ham. Oh, and the wife is excited about the fact you can lock it in a partially open position for open-faced melts without firing up the oven or broiler. Also, it’s light enough that she can handle it even with her troublesome wrists and hands. This looks like it may just be a great addition to our kitchen. Thank you again for this wonderful prize.
David D.–Breville Panini Duo

Dear Leite’s Culinaria, I just wanted to send a quick note to say thanks very much for having the contest for the Cusinart Knife Block Set.  I am so excited to have won and absolutely love my prize.  This looks so great in my kitchen. This is a wonderful promotion and I am really thrilled to have been selected. I look forward to visiting your awesome website often and entering more contests!!
Margaret G.—Cuisinart Classic Graphix Cutlery Block Set

I just wanted to let you know that I received the panini press yesterday and I cannot wait to use it. I’m so excited! 🙂 Thanks for running such great giveaways. I love cooking and these giveaways are really fun. Thanks for keeping in touch with everything including the tracking number. It was packaged very well when it arrived. Looking forward to grilling! 🙂
—Jamie K., Breville Panini Duo

I just wanted to thank you and the gang at LC for the two cookbooks I won. I’ve not had the opportunity to try any of the recipes but they look absolutely delicious. Much thanks again!
—Lisbeth S. Pork Chop and Feast

Hubby won a KitchenAid slow cooker through Leite’s daily contests, and it arrived today! Really happy with it. Going to make a big pot of bean barley soup! Yum.
—Nancerelli G., KitchenAid Slow Cooker (via Facebook)

I can guarantee that this prize will be well and frequently used. I am married to the best cook in the US…although I might be a bit prejudiced. My friends all know not to invite me to go to a restaurant when I get served much better food at home. I need only “ask” and she will try a new recipe or fix an old favorite. Am I a lucky guy? You bet! Thank you for your generosity. I really like your web site.
—Bob Q., The French Cook: Souffles by Greg Patent 

I have received the Waring Deep Fryer and I am happy as a clam. It’s a beautiful product and I am looking forward to to to using it. Thank you so much for providing the site that allowed me to be able to win this.

Wow! I’m thrilled to find I have been picked as the winner of a Leite’s Culinaria giveaway. The Vortex 5-Speed Blender is a welcome surprise, and I’m delighted to have won it. I can hardly wait to give it a whirl! Thank you so much for providing the opportunity to win such nice prizes from Leite’s Culinaria.com and the opportunity to learn more about appliances and cookware that I am interested in.
—Linda R., KitchenAid Vortex 5-Speed Blender

Thank you so much for the Cuisinart Griddler. It is my go-to kitchen appliance and I’ve used it multiple times since I won. I’ve made everything from steak to bacon, eggs to sandwiches. I am getting ready to make pressed Cuban sandwiches tonight for the second time. They are wonderful, just like you get in Tampa. Thanks again to you and Cuisinart for such a useful and great product.
—John S. Cuisinart Griddler

I’m not exaggerating when I say Leite’s Culinaria’s giveaways are consistently the best! I’ve been paging through the recipes and contest pages for years and have placed my fair share of entries hoping to win one of the latest in kitchen appliances. This news is very cool!
—Phillip T., Waring Pro Professional Blender

The absolutely fabulous Breville Mini Smart Oven arrived this morning and it is a brilliant piece of equipment. It works perfectly and will be such a help to me, so thank you for this incredible early Christmas present. I absolutely love it!

Please give everyone my regards. You rule!
—Joseph E., CHEFS Deep Lasagna Pan

My sauté pan arrived yesterday. It’s so nice. Everything Cuisinart makes is high-quality and this pan does not disappoint. I am getting ready to use it right now. My pans are almost 40 years old, so this is a real treat for me. Thank you again. This is a wonderful prize that I will use often. Thank you again.
—Dorothy R., Cuisinart Green Gourmet Saute Pan

WOW!! You are sending out wonderful news this Labor Day. Thank you! I’ve been entering Leite’s Culinaria “Loyal Sweeper” sweeps for several years, but this is my first win. My son just built an outside grilling area this year and he is teaching his daughter the joys of cooking. She’s 6 and has her own standing chair so she can help (and learn) right next to her dad. I think I will use this $100 Gift Card to buy some tools just for her. This win is a positive gift to her development and keeps cooking a family function. Again, thank you for choosing me. And thank you for having a helpful and informative site.
–Doug W., August Loyal Sweeper

I would like to thank you and David for allowing me the opportunity to win such a nice prize. Your website is the most helpful for improving my cooking skills.

–Chris F., Canal House Cooks Every Day

–Jon B., Soups: More Than 50 Fresh and Easy Soup Ideas

I just wanted to let you know that I received my Bobby Flay’s Bar Americain Cookbook that I won. It’s a beautiful cookbook. I’ll definitely be using it. You don’t know how much I appreciate being allowed to enter your wonderful contests. I look forward to seeing what you have to enter every day. Thank you so much.

—Nancy G., Slow Cooker Revolution (via Facebook)

Oh my goodness!!! You have to be kidding, right?!!!! I don’t know what to say. I have been sweepstaking for many years, but overall, I’m not a very lucky person. I’ve been entering your various sweepstakes for a few years now. I had almost given up hope of ever winning, but I entered anyway because I really like your prizes. They are all high-quality items that anyone would be pleased to receive. Imagine my complete shock upon learning that I have won this fantastic prize! All the daily entries were definitely worth it! Thank you so very much! And thank you for continuing to participate in sweepstakes.
—Rhonda F., Waring Pro Rotisserie Turkey Fryer/Steamer

—David J., Babycakes Cookbook

I see you’re posting responses from Very Happy Winners, and I want to tell you that includes me! I was surprised when I got the email from you, but I was absolutely floored when I received my candy-apple red KitchenAid professional mixer. It was honestly one of my favorite moments in my whole life. I love this thing! Thank you so much; I tell all my friends how great you guys are. Love your recipes and kitchen advice, too. Thanks again!

—Fran B., Cuisinart Commercial Quality Ice Cream and Gelato Maker

Thank you for selecting me as the winner of this book, Favorite Family Recipes. Having lost all of our past generations (and their known-by-heart recipes, it will be fun to look at these and perhaps rediscover some of our own family recipes. We love your site and have actually purchased a few of the things you promoted but that we did not win. Thank you again for selecting me. I suspect we will find a couple of Grams and GG’s lost recipes and will serve them up for our Thanksgiving and Christmas reunions.
—Doug W., Favorite Family Recipes cookbook

Thank you. I am absolutely thrilled! Not as thrilled as my wife will be once she sees it though. 😉
