Contest 2011 April

April’s contest will be a fresh spring appetizer using two or more of the following ingredients:

  • carrot
  • cucumber
  • celery
  • banana
  • apple

As usual, you will be judged on creativity, and presentation (in addition to the recipe as a whole). Most likely, I will be selecting the top two winners myself for this month.

Below is my checklist:

  • Send the name of the recipe along with photo to contest@manjulaskitchen.com.
  • Be creative with the recipe!
  • You must send an original picture(s) of the recipe – do not simply grab a photo from the web. Otherwise your recipe will not be considered for entry.
  • The deadline is April 22nd.
  • The winner will be featured on the homepage with the new recipe and a link to their website (if available).

1st Prize: $100 gift certificate from Amazon.com
2nd Prize: $25 gift certificate from Amazon.com

**Anyone can join this contest**

As important as it is to make healthy, heart warming tasty dishes, it’s also important have a great presentation wther it be simple and elegant or exotic.  We do “eat with our eyes first” !  So this month I’ve decided to do something a little different: instead of creating a recipe I’d like to you to create a beautiful and creative presention.

The only rule is that you need to use any one of my recipes and send me a photo of a creative disply/presentation.  You will be judged on your creativity.
