Quick Links
The contest for this month (August) is to create any original recipe using coconut as one of the ingredients. You can submit any type of food (appetizer, desert, main dish, etc).
As usual, you will be judged on creativity, and presentation (in addition to the recipe as a whole). I will be selecting the top five best entries and two winners from those.
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 August 25th.
- 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**

August 24, 2011 at 11:03 amPardon me for my silliness but still i wanted to be double sure.
25th august means recipes can be submitted till 25 right ?
I have a little suggestion, from next month onward while posting the monthly contest along with date if you also specify time( standard eastern time ) then it will be more convenient for the participants.

Your generosity is so great and your site has been a source of endless information and inspiration. Thank you so much!
