CSN Stores giveaway - A gift certificate for $60 !!

In my recent post, I had said I would be announcing a giveaway soon. Here it is. CSN Stores which is a collection of over 200 stores who sell kitchen stuff to lighting, furniture has kindly offered to giveaway $60 gift certificate to one of my readers. How cool is that?


Coming to the rules of this giveaway:
From now, June 11th to June 19th, leave a comment to this post telling me one dish you would like to see on this blog. Of course, that dish has to be vegetarian. You can add in what you like the best about this blog, any tips for improvements etc. It is up to you entirely.

No, you don't have to become my follower to qualify for this giveaway.

And no, you don't have to subscribe to my reader list either.

And no, you don't have to follow me on facebook either.

When you do leave a comment, make sure you use your email address so that I can contact you. If you don't want to use the email address, you can check back on 20th to see if you won and if you did, you can send me an email instead.

This $60 gift certificate does not cover shipping costs. So, you'll have to pick an item that has free shipping. On 20th of June, I'll select one person randomly and that person will be the lucky winner. You'll get the gift certificate code in email with instructions as to how to use it.


Remember, CSN stores ship only in U.S and Canada. So, if you don't live in either of the countries you can still participate in this giveaway and in case you win, you can use it to get something for someone who lives here.

Disclaimer: I am not getting compensated in any way from CSN Stores for this giveaway.

Good luck everyone!! Pin It

  9. Hey dear,
    What your blog needs is 1.a Chiffon Cake! Any flavor would be good but Mango would be best. Many people shy away from making chiffon cake since its very difficult. Since you are an accomplished baker, I think it would be a breeze for you.
    2. An authentic Australian Pavlova, now that is a challenge.

    I can be reached at pangravykadaicurry@gmail.com

  19. Nice giveaway Champa. Love the name 'Bangalore Baker' that you blog with. I am so in love with the goodies we get in Bangalore bakeries. Would love to see more of those items from you. Like the buns stuffed with sweet coconut filling(i forget what exactly they are called) and the dilpasand(puff pastry stuffed with coconut and tutti fruti).

    One of my biggest suggestions to you for your blog would be to please watermark your photos. You have beautiful pictures in your blog, and being a fellow blogger I know how much effort and thought those pictures take. There are so many reports of plagiarism going on..I just started doing it, so if you need help, please let me know.

  22. We are not vegetarian, but we eat vegetarian a few times a week, and when we do, it is usually at a local Thali restaurant. We happen to love Butter Chicken. Is there a vegetarian recipe that works with the butter sauce? That would be a wonderful recipe to learn.
