Judith’s Judgement
First of all, I’ve been itching to tell you that next Friday I’ll be posting details of Blog from Italy’s first recipe contest.
As a little incentive, there will also be prizes in the form of three one year subscriptions which have been kindly offered by the US version of highly regarded and wonderfully illustrated cookery magazine - La Cucina Italiana.

Before reading on to find out, why not have a go at guessing what she might go for, and then click away to see if you were right!
