Pass That Dish Challenge

I have noticed that the blogging has slowed down considerably over the last month or two (myself the most guilty party), so thought we would energize things a bit with a contest. Its a good ole' fashioned recipe contest. Over the next month, anyone who is interested can submit their favorite recipes or self-made concoctions to the site. Everyone else who is interested will then make said recipe, rate it based on the criteria below, and we will declare a Perellis recipe winner.

There is a limit of 2 entries per person by November 15th. The rating criteria is as follows:

-- Taste (1-10 scale) Clearly the most important category, best flavors wins
-- Originality (1-5 scale) Added points for original recipes or spins on existing recipes, copying and pasting from Southern Living gets you nowhere in this contest
-- Approachability (1-5 scale) Not to be confused with simpleness, but is it a dish that can be made at home frequently, without a huge time commitment or 3 years at culinary school
-- Bonus Points (1 point) -- Reminds you of Kentucky

Highest point total wins. If you would like to submit a recipe, just post to the blog under the title Perellis Recipe Contest.

After a recipe is posted, all other contestants can create the dish and rate them at their leisure. Email the ratings to bperellis@gmail.com and I will tally the results and post the scores to the blog once they are all in.

Have fun and get creative!
