Kreativ Blogger Award

What a lovely surprise - Özlem of the beautiful blog Ozlem's Turkish Table that I have been following for quite a while awarded Cuisine de Provence this very flattering



Thank you Özlem! When Özlem is not guiding her very lucky clients on her "Fascinating Istanbul and Grand Turkey Tour" - she holds Turkish Cooking Classes  in London which I am definitely planning to attend next time I am there - the dishes Özlem is teaching there look just too tempting!
In order to be able to accept the award I am asked to do as follows:
  1. Thank the blogger who gave me the award and provide a link (as above).
  2. List 7 interesting things about myself that my readers might find interesting.
  3. Nominate 7 other bloggers, provide links, and let them know.
I love to read - my mother always jokes "if there is nothing else she reads the back of the shampoo bottle" - sad, but true!
I am a cookbook addict - it has been a while that I have counted them and I won't admit the number but I cannot resist buying yet more cookbooks and read them like novels.
If I would win the lottery - I would not buy a flashy car or house, I would go travelling for at least a year or so. My dream is spending about a month or more in one city to really get to know it and then move on to the next destination. Top of my dream list: Hongkong.
I do not really like drawing up lists like this one. Four points done, three to go - may I please, please, pretty please be excused?

And now for the nominees - and yes, as far as I am concerned, you are excused from drawing up this list, too ....
