FoodPorn.com is Turning 10! Recipe Contest!

Contest is closed! I will begin cooking the recipes and announce the winner when I've tried them all. Thanks for playing!!


In honor of FoodPorn.com's 10 year anniversary (June 6th) I'm holding a recipe contest. Not just any recipe, you have to cook something I like. Here are my restrictions:

No bell peppers
No beets
No cheese of any kind
No olives (olive oil is more than okay!!)
As far as meat, only seafood, beef, or chicken

I'm not a baker so if you choose to do a dessert, be aware that I'm not big on liking to measure things! (A word of advice, you're more likely to win with something I don't have to bake)

If it is something sweet:
No licorice (or anise)
No coconut
No amaretto

I will make all the recipes submitted to me, following every detail as much as possible. They will be judged by me and, if I need help, my husband and friends. This is in no way an objective contest, you are vying for the love of my taste buds. I am a super taster, they are picky.

Deadline for recipe submission is Tuesday, June 9.

Winners will receive one item of their choice from the FoodPorn store. I will notify winners as soon as I've made it through all the recipes. The date will depend on how many submissions I get. Include your e-mail address with your recipe (since you will be e-mailing me the recipes, that will be easy).

Send them to chantrelle@foodporn.com.

In my best Padma voice, "Your time starts...NOW!"

That's cheese-ist! :P Not even in pesto, huh? (I suppose I can experiment with that.) Do you object to chorizo?

Chorizo is fine as a flavor component but i don't want to just eat a big ol' sausage. And I make cheese-less pesto all the time! :)

Flavor components are what I'm after. Though I may not submit the chorizo thing in any case. I must ponder.

I only recently discovered that I can use walnuts in pesto instead of pine nuts. It has revolutionized my life. I've always got walnuts!

You can use *any* nuts! Toasted almonds? Pecans? You name it. You can even use any green herb. I've done parsley, marjoram (lots of that), throw in chives. It's rare, actually, that I even use basil!

Can you believe I could not access you site all day because the proxy server decided that it was PORN?

I believe it! I get emails about that. A girl on twitter said she couldn't come here or to bookslut at work. Good thing those filters are working so well.

Would chicken liver be okay? They are chicken but liver is an acquired taste so I thought I would ask.

Oh, ick no...don't do liver. Glad you asked :)

I thought you might not, you seem to have milder tastes as far as proteins are concerned.

Yup, meat is a relatively recent thing for me, in my adult life at least. Hated it for years and then all of a sudden it sounded good again so I ate a good rare steak and loved it. Go figure.
