We're back - hooray! All issues with prizes owed have been resolved and all's well with our sponsors :-) Apologies again for the delay in awarding prizes, and I do appreciate all your patience and understanding. Now we are ready to continue, and eagerly await the lovely dishes we're yet to gorge with hungry eyes!
I'd like to share my sincere THANKS to @smooth and @sirwinchester for their continuous sponsorship of this challenge, the Steemians who regularly or occasioanlly submit entries, and to everyone who upvotes and supports 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.
The guest judge for this week is @kotturinn, a true lover of cooking and now a regular participant in this challenge (though obviously not this week)! She's a fantastic cook and equally fantastic photographer, so if you haven't seen her delightful dishes yet then go check out her blog immediately!!! She was very enthusiastic at the prospect of judging, having the chance to pick a theme and of course the winning entries, and I figure who am I to stand in the way of this wish! @kotturinn is originally from Crimea but lives now with her (adored and adoring) husband in Detroit. They also have the craziest cat I've ever seen - seriously! Although @kotturinn was tempted to give you a Russian food theme, she decided instead to play nice and give you something less defined. So the theme she has chosen for us this week is...
With this theme you can go as simple or as fancy as you want... hot or cold, raw or cooked, savoury or sweet... whatever you would eat for brunch, this is what you should make for us! If your country has any specific foods traditionally served for brunch this would be interesting to see. In England (where I grew up) and Ireland (where I live now) a typical brunch would be anything from a fry up, cooked eggs, sausage roll, sandwich, fruit & yoghurt, toast, scone...etc and typically served with a pot of tea or coffee. In other countries brunch is often complimented with a cocktail or glass of wine. Just imagine @kotturinn was coming to visit your country and it was up to you to treat her to a brunch made with typical ingredients and traditional flavours from your country. I can't wait to see what kinds of dishes you will serve for her...!
