My best friend, Amanda, sent me an email last week to let me know that she had made the Spanish tortilla recipe that had been posted on my blog. She also included a photo of her own creation.
And that's when I got an idea! If I have 800 page views per month, why not do a reader contest and ask people to send me photos of recipes they have created or adapted from this blog. It will be fun. And, there can be a prize, I mean, why not? If you are the winner of the contest and are located within 50 miles of the greater Chicago area, D and I will have you over for a home-cooked meal. If you are from someplace else, well...we'll try to think of something.
I know that not everyone will participate, but I do hope that there are at least a few of you out there who will. I am hoping for at least 3 entries in addition to Amanda's. So here are the details:
1) Cook a recipe posted on this blog. Feel free to adapt the recipe to suit your own taste
2) Take a photo of your final product
3) Email the photo to me at LeFillenwarth@gmail.com
4) Deadline: May 1, 2011
5) Any and all entries will be posted on my blog. Depending on participation levels, Daniele and I will decide the 'winner' or, we can try a reader vote. I don't usually get too many comments so we can try the vote concept, but who knows if it will work.
6) Photos will be judged in the following manner: 34% quality of photograph, 33% how tasty the food looks, 33% overall creativity in adapting the recipe/photographing your food
7) If you get really excited, feel free to submit more than one entry! Not that I expect anyone to do that...
So, if you have ever cooked anything from this blog, submit a photo. You have 3 weeks so get moving!
Here is Amanda's photo (which will be entered into our 'contest')
