Contest of the Month
Contest 2012 February
1 Comment »
This month’s contest is another easy one. I very much enjoyed reading all the valentine’s day stories last year and I would like to do the same this year. All you have to do is post your story to the disucussion forum on the Valentine’s Day topic that I have created.
You needn’t send any photos for the contest. I just want to hear your valentine’s story – what did you do for your husband, wife, girl/boyfriend, or other loved one? If you cooked something, please describe the menu that you prepared. Did you surprise your loved one? The more details, the better!
The winners will be selected randomly from all the forum post entries.
Below is my checklist:
- You will not have email me anything this time. You can simply leave a posting on the Valentine’s day forum topic.
- If you are creating a new account for the forum, please enter your email address so that I can contact you after the contest is over. Don’t worry, your email address will not be public (only I will be able to see it).
- The deadline is Februrary 24th.
- The winner will be featured on the homepage and a link to their website (if available).
1st Prize: $100 gift certificate from Amazon.com
2nd Prize: $25 gift certificate from Amazon.com

Contest 2011 December

Happy holidays from Manjula’s Kitchen!! For this month, I thought a dessert is a good idea for the holiday season. The recipe can be any dessert made with at least one of the following fruits: apple, berry (any), pineapple, or pear. You may make any type of dessert, hot or cold. The specific rules for December are the following:
- Any recipe that with at least ONE of the following fruit: apple, berry (any), pineapple, or pear.
- It must be vegetarian and also egg-less.
- Please submit only ONE recipe.
In general I will only consider recipes that I feel are complete in regards to ingredients, measurement, and instruction. From there I am looking for creativity and a recipe that my viewers would enjoy to prepare on their own. I will be judging on overall recipe and presentation also.
Below is my checklist:
- Be Creative!
- Ingredients should be listed with measurements.
- Method must be explained clearly, so it’s easy to follow.
- Please include your name along with the recipe (as you would like it to appear).
- Search the web for ideas. There are many resources available.
- Please send me a detailed recipe to contest@manjulaskitchen.com
- You must also send original picture(s) of the recipe – do not simply grab a photo from the web. Otherwise your recipe will not be considered for entry.
- The deadline is December 27th.
- The winner will be featured on the homepage with the new recipe and a link to their website (if available).

2nd Prize: $25 gift certificate from Amazon.com
