Originally I had planned to announce the winner of the free four-hour private class with Chef Nicholas. However, because we got such a wonderfully overwhelming amount of responses, Chef Nicholas is still carefully reading through everyone’s responses! Due to that, I will be announcing the winner next Thursday; please accept our apologies in having to move the announcement back one week! I know the anticipation will be killing you!

Sweetly yours,

Stephanie
