I love personal essay writing, so it's nice to hear about a contest in that genre, especially one with no entry fee and a $3,000 prize!
I enjoy your magazine/ The recipes are simple without the need to hunt for exotic ingredients. I certainly thought your contest topic re: love gave a lot of consideration to the true meaning of the word. Love is often used so casually the depth of emotion associated with the word is lost. It ia a powerful word when un derstood. A world without love would destroy humanity. Thanks for love as the contest topic
