Many thanks to our guest judges for last week @gardenofeden who gave us the very thrilling theme "Mouthgasms", and who inspired some truly wonderful-looking dishes from our participants! Everyone put in a lot of effort with ingredient combinations, and in describing the flavours and sensuality of their creations. They were all presented so beautifully too, which certainly made our mouths water and wish we could taste everything for real! The entries were clearly made by people who have great passion for food and creativity, which pleased the @gardenofeden community... and probably made them very hungry too!
And just to update: I'm delighted to report our elusive sponsor @sirwinchester has reappeared and is very happy to continue providing us with a 4th place prize - hooray! We're very grateful :-)

I'd also like to share my sincere THANKS to @smooth and @sirwinchester for their continuous sponsorship of this challenge, the Steemians who submitted entries, and to everyone who upvoted and supported the entries. I'm well aware there would be no challenge without you all!!!
For those of you who have never entered this challenge before - it's very easy, just see below for this week's theme and criteria for entries. Every week we have a different guest judge and different theme, so if you fancy some culinary excitement then look no further! You don't have to be a great cook - all we ask is you try to be creative with your recipes and take beautiful photos of the finished dish as unfortunately we can't taste the entries so you must help us do this with our imaginations! Original recipes are encouraged, but you may use someone else's recipe as long as you credit the original source.
This week's guest judge for the Steemit Culinary Challenge #26 is @jrcornel, whose blog gives the impression he's a pretty laid-back kinda guy... a family-centred, gold-panning, outdoor-loving, golf instructor and magician from Sunny Arizona... Yep, an all-round interesting fellow whose blog is definitely worth a browse! The theme he's chosen for us this week I'm sure will get you in the mood for cooking or baking because you get to make your favourite!
There are absolutely no specifics on how to cook or present your dish... you may enter whatever dish you like, as long as it's your favourite!!! Savoury, sweet, hot, cold, cooked, raw... it's up to you! We're curious to see what each of you chooses to make, and @jrcornel is looking forward to feasting his eyes on your culinary masterpieces. Perhaps you may end up making his favourite dish, who knows. The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy eating what you've made... after taking some beautiful photos for us first of course!
