Or as they say around here — “Sabaidee!”

I’ve spent the last couple of days getting settled and starting work with The Language Project and Village Science. I’ve already met so many lovely people since arriving: students, volunteers, and people around town. I’ll try to find time to tell you more about them — and more about this lovely place — in the days ahead.

If you haven’t checked it out already, you can read more about why I am here and also about the “Help In Your Own Way Giveaway” — which ends on March 14th!

Today’s featured prize is an especially sweet contribution! It’s an autographed copy of Everyday Raw Desserts by superstar chef and raw food entrepreneur MATTHEW KENNEY.

***

Kenney has been named one of America’s Best New Chefs by Food and Wine magazine, nominated for the James Beard Rising Star Chef Award, and has appeared on many television shows, including the Today Show and the Food Network. He has also been the author of several cookbooks and a founder and chef of several successful restaurants, including Matthew’s, Pure Food and Wine, and 105degrees, which was recently named one of America’s most exciting new restaurants by Forbes.

In Everyday Raw Desserts, Kenney showcases more than seventy-five recipes all-raw desserts, from puddings and pies to chocolate and ice cream. Dulce de Leche Flan, Pink Grapefruit Sorbet, Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge, White Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies, and Strawberry Mascarpone Tart are just some of the things Matthew will show you how to make!

Help In Your Own Way

As a busy chef and author, Matthew donating this book to the Help In Your Own Way Giveaway is a fantastic example of what I’ve been after: People sharing their skills and work in a way that can help others.

// HIYOW Giveaway: Evernote Essentials and Evernote Premium Accounts!

BRETT KELLY is a man with many irons in the fire — a busy software and web developer, a long-time blogger, a well-known Twitter favorite, the Technical Communications Manager for Evernote, and a devoted husband and father of two kids.

It’s no wonder the man loves his coffee! :D

And as if that weren’t a long enough list of titles and accomplishments, you can add one more: “Author”. His eBook, Evernote Essentials, is the comprehensive guide to using Evernote — and it’s written in plain English. Intended both for new Evernote users who are just getting started and for more experienced Evernote users who want to go deeper, you can tell he spent a lot of time making sure that it would be well-worth the $25 price tag.

When I told Brett about the Help In Your Own Way Giveaway, he did just that and very graciously offered up some free copies of Evernote Essentials. The fine people at Evernote also kicked in some Premium Subscriptions to go along with them, ensuring that you winners will be able to get the most out of what Brett shows you!
