Throwdown Round #2 - The Battle of the Soups & Salads
And the winner is ...Betty Bush, who walked away from this fierce competition unscathed and in possession of a $50 worth of AMC Entertainment Passes!
Our prizes awarded are either from private donations or vendor/business contributions, so stay tuned for more exciting rewards for all your efforts.
Betty's winning recipe, "Sonny's Steinhatchee Stew", had plenty of taste appeal. The recipe will have a place of honor in the cookbook along with recipes of upcoming Throwdown victors.
The Soup & Salad competition drew 20 entries, which were beautifully displayed on two tables with enough for each person attending fellowship to have a generous sample. What a colorful, fragrant spread with a surprising variety of offerings. So many that most folks had a difficult time deciding to vote for a soup OR a salad.
Some of our men and teens joined the fray, and we expect more will accept the challenge for Round #3, the Main Dish Throwdown on June 17th.
The purpose of the recipe throwdowns is to draw attention to and create interest in the Celebratory Cookbook, to be ready in time for First Presbyterian Church of Jonesboro's celebration of its long history on September 27th. It must be working, because we now have over 20 great appetizer recipes to add to the growing number of recipes in all categories.
Although recipes are coming in, we are far from filling all the pages. Don't limit yourself to one or two recipes, and don't limit your categories. Think pickles, preserves, and salsas; frozen salads and desserts; and season specials using peaches, strawberries, figs, vine-ripe tomatoes, and squash of all sorts. And don't overlook your heirloom, church supper, and ethnic recipes.
Throwdown #3 - Main Dish
This throwdown presents a real challenge for all you scrappers. Do I go all out and enter an entré and a side dish? Meatless or a roast? Starch or vegetable? Start planning your winning approach now and go for it!
Thank You
Thanks to all who made this cookbook event a success by entering your appetizer, tasting and voting and by taking care of setting up and cleaning up. |
