Welcome to the opening week of Cook with Us. @pandamama, @offoodandart and @chefsteve are very excited to welcome you and look forward to getting to know you as we cook together. It is our intention to build a community of people that enjoy cooking and sharing with each other. We are pleased to announce the following prizes for week 1: First place will receive 5 sbd, Second place will receive 3 sbd and Third place will receive 1 sbd.
The theme for week one of Cook with Us is:
Your Favorite Family Recipe
Your entry for week one should be your favorite family recipe. This can be a dish that you remember from your childhood or a dish that you make for your family now. When sharing your family's recipe with us please try to explain about any ingredients or traditions that are unique to the dish. We really want to know the story behind your family dish too. How did this dish become a family favorite? Has it been in the family for a long time? Consider these questions or any others when making your post. The more we can share with each other, the more we can learn.
Please take some time to review the contest rules below. We do not want to disqualify anyone for not following the rules. If you are unsure about any of the rules, just ask us for some clarification. We will be happy to help you.
