Cook The Issue Competition

I have been inspired by my dad to enter a Foodie competition on Facebook over the last month.  I submitted my photo of the Cookie Monster Cupcakes as my entry and am now waiting for the month to end and a winner to be announced. 

This has given me a bit of confidence and I've decided to enter another competition to see how I go.  The new competition is in the Woolworths Australian Good Taste Magazine (available at your local Woolworths Supermarket) and is called Cook the Issue.  Basically to enter you need to cook one of the recipes from either the June or July issues, photograph it and then submit it as your entry.  You can do this for one recipe, or for as many recipes as you like.  There are a couple of different ways to win, you can even try to cook every recipe!  That sounds like a challenge, but the trouble is, we wouldn't eat half of the food I would be cooking.  Unfortunately our family are not fans of anything with chili or curry (really hot spicy flavours) which are so popular with most people. 

I have created a new page on here for all the photos of the recipes as I make them.  I started today, so there is already a photo in there.  I am going to make the sweets, cakes and desserts first, as I know that my family are definitely fond of those!  Today's effort was a Butter Cake with Orange Icing.  It was absolutely delicious with my coffee, so I will make that one again. 

If you are interested in knowing the recipes, I can probably put them up too.  I will just reference the page in the magazine at the moment though.  So let me know in the comments if you are wanting the recipes too. 

About Me

There are many things I love to do, but nothing more so than whipping up something delicious for my family to eat.  When I have the time I also like to paint, with decorative art being my "thing".  I hope that people might find a common interest and join me over here!
