Cook’s Country Announces Another Lost Recipes Contest
Think you have a recipe in your grandmother’s recipe box that might be worth $25,000?
If so, the editors at Cook’s Country want to know. The editors are looking
for recipes of another era—simply great family heirloom recipes
handed down through the generations—from appetizers,
soups, and sides to main courses, cookies, and desserts.
The test kitchen will choose the very best of all the recipes and stories to
include in a forthcoming book to be published in Fall 2011. In addition to
the grand prize winner ($25,000), four additional winners will each receive $1,000
(and all winners will be profiled in Cook’s Country magazine).
Entries must include an original recipe and should include an essay of no more than 250 words
that explains the origins and/or history of the recipe and why the recipe is important to you
and your family.
All entries must be received by September 1, 2010.
