Hello all. I got an idea after seeing the Soup/Chili and Cooking threads get updated recently. It seems we have a few culinary-inclined folks here so let's see if there's interest in a little cooking competition that I've seen take place on another forum a while back. It's basically an online competition based on the show Iron Chef. I did a search and it looks like we've had some cooking based drafts in the past, but nothing like this.
The idea is every participant picks a recipe, their signature recipe/favorite recipe/whatever, and cooks it, documenting the ingredients/steps/final dish with photos and or video if you like. You would then post said recipe and photos by a certain date in a certain thread. The rest of the forum would then vote on the recipes in a separate voting thread with a poll. Now, the difficulty here is that the general forum population obviously won't be able to try any of this great food unless they copy and prepare the recipe themselves, so voting will have to be based on the recipe itself, the process, and pictures of the final product. There would also be a small prize that I haven't thought of yet.
Post if you think you'd participate. We'll only do this if there's real interest. There is a bit of work involved in documenting a recipe like this, I know. But this can be a lot of fun, and at the end of the day, the forum gets a handful of new recipes to try! We can also use this thread to discuss and come up with more specific rules.
Right now, I'm thinking submissions would be due sometime after the new year as we are entering a busy time of year for many.
If this takes off, we can have future contests where we pick a key ingredient everyone must use. For this one, I'm leaving it pretty open to anything.
