We know most of you
are passionate cooks (why else would you have all those cookbooks?)
and look to your books and recipes not only for instruction, but
for inspiration. And we're sure you've created wonderful dishes
that you love to share with family and friends. And we even suspect
that many of you think that those dishes might be worthy of a prize
or two. But finding cooking contests to enter can take a lot of
effort. So for those of you who are interested, we thought we'd
mention a website for cooking contests, Cooking Contest Central. Every
month it lists contests - large and small - that are looking for
entrants. It is a pay site ($25/year), but it still has a lot of
information about cooking contests for visitors. Taking a look
might just inspire you to get your feet wet and, from then on, who
knows what riches there may be.
