There is no better time to express gratitude and give back than around Thanksgiving. I feel deeply thankful for every reader who has followed this blog, shared feedback, and helped shape the journey of Feed Me Phoebe. To say thank you, I like to give away something useful—practical gear that will be used and appreciated in the kitchen. This year the giveaway centers on one of my favorite kitchen brands and an item that makes holiday carving easier and more enjoyable.
Wusthof has long been my go-to brand for reliable, well-balanced knives at a moderate price point. These knives make up the majority of the tools on my magnetic knife strip and have performed dependably throughout my time as a food writer. To honor all the turkeys that will be roasted and sliced over the holiday season, I’m giving one reader a brand-new carving set that’s perfectly suited to slicing a holiday bird cleanly and precisely.
To enter the Wusthof Turkey Day Giveaway and have a chance to win a Two-Piece Classic Carving Set ($150 value), please follow these steps:
1. Leave a comment below and tell me about your favorite dish on your Thanksgiving table. Whether it’s a family heirloom recipe, a modern twist, or a simple side that everyone loves, I want to hear what makes your holiday meal special. For the record, my personal favorite is a mashed sweet potato gratin with smoked gouda and shallots.
2. Follow me on Twitter @PhoebeLapine. I will verify that the winner follows the account, so please make sure your follow is active by the time the contest closes.
3. Earn two extra entries by tweeting about the giveaway from your account. A short message letting your followers know about the giveaway and tagging the host increases your chances. Be sure your tweet is public so it can be confirmed.
The prize is a Two-Piece Classic Carving Set from Wusthof, designed to make carving a turkey—or any roasted meat—clean and effortless. The set typically includes a long carving knife and a matching fork, both balanced and comfortable to use for steady, even slices. Proper tools can make a big difference in presentation and ease of serving during a busy holiday meal.
Giveaway logistics: The giveaway closes on 11/29/13, and the winner will be announced via the Feed Me Phoebe newsletter on 12/1/13. Please ensure your contact details are accurate in your comment or available through the newsletter so the prize can be claimed promptly. If the selected winner cannot be contacted within the specified timeframe, an alternate winner may be chosen.
Eligibility and selection: This giveaway is intended as a thank-you to blog readers. Entries will be reviewed to confirm compliance with the entry requirements listed above. One winner will be chosen at random from eligible entries and notified through the newsletter. The winner will be asked to provide a shipping address for prize delivery; please be mindful of any regional shipping restrictions that might affect delivery.
Tips for making the most of a carving set: Let roasted meat rest before carving to keep juices locked in, use long, steady strokes with the carving knife, and secure the bird with the carving fork to maintain control. A sharp, well-balanced knife reduces tearing and helps you produce neat, even slices that look as good as they taste.
Thank you again for your continued support and for sharing recipes, comments, and photos. This giveaway is a small way to say thank you for being part of the Feed Me Phoebe community. I look forward to reading about your favorite Thanksgiving dishes and to sending one lucky reader a Wusthof carving set to make next year’s holiday carving a little easier and more satisfying.
Giveaway closes 11/29/13. Winner announced via the Feed Me Phoebe newsletter 12/1/13.
