Recipe Contest Ideas

Lemon Cake

Let's have a recipe contest. I woke up this morning and decided to finally really do something and not just think about it and you can help. All of this month we can share recipes and at the end of May a winner will be chosen ( I will decide how later ) and a new cookbook will show up at the lucky ones door. We all can even help decide which book by giving suggestions and comments on. I think this will be loads of fun for us all. Quite a few of us have gone through or are going through some trials and I think it is time for a little fun. I need to work out details like how do you send your entries? Do I need to start another blog or is there some other way? Please leave comments about all of this and then lets get started.....To get us in the mood Here is Barefoot Contessa's Lemon Cake recipe. She is really my go to gal when I want a foolproof recipe. Remember, please leave a comment with your ideas and thoughts so we can 'get cooking' .

Sounds good! Does it have to be just bloggers or could my boys enter too? They are pretty obsessed with cooking these days, which is really handy...

I agree this should cheer us all up. I'll have to think about the practical side of it - can't think of any great ideas straight away. Maybe you could make a logo and we could copy it into our sidebars, and into the post where we post our own recipe?

Thanks for a nice idea, and a lovely looking lemon cake recipe too!

I haven't made lemon cake, but I have Ina's cookbooks and that would be a great place to start. Count me in when you figure the details. I am sure my boys wouldn't mind judging on my end:)

I vote for the Barefoot Contessa cookbook. Even though I have it, I could give it away as a gift to one lucky recipient =). I think you could have people post a link to the recipe in their comment, or they could email you the recipe and you post the entire thing on your blog as they come in. When the details of the contest are finalized, I'll post this contest on my Facebook and you'll probably get loads of entries.

What a lovely idea! I'm in! Perhaps we could email entries and then you could post favourites in your blog - otherwise your comments section will probably overload the whole internet!

For some reason your blog posts have stopped showing on my feed... I thought you had been a bit quiet!

Hope your Mum's doing well xxx
