July Flavor Fan Contest

Thanks to all of our culinary comrades who submitted recipes for the first Spice Islands® Flavor Fan contest! We loved seeing your creations, and we’re excited to get started testing recipes. We’ll announce the winner of the June contest on this Flavor Explorer blog on Monday, June 4.

Until then, round two of the Flavor Fan contest starts today!  We’re now accepting submissions for our July contest, and the theme is “Travel Dishes from Vacations.”

We want to know what you make in your kitchen that reminds you of past trips. Do you have a special recipe for Jerk Chicken? A salsa recipe that makes you reminisce about a trip to Mexico? Or, what about a spicy Gumbo dish that makes you crave the streets of New Orleans?

To enter this month’s contest, just create 3 unique recipes using any Spice Islands® spices. The winner will receive a complete library of Spice Islands® spices and extracts! We’ll also post the winning recipes on this blog.

So, if you’re a creative, adventurous cook who could use a fully stocked spice cabinet, we want to hear from you.

To enter, follow these 3 simple steps:

1. Create 3 recipes that remind you of a past trip.
2. With each recipe, include at least one Spice Islands® spice or extract. (There are no restrictions on which spice to use. Select whichever you’d like.)
3. E-mail the following to spiceislands@c-k.com:
   1. A photo of each recipe.
   2. Cooking directions and a list of ingredients (including measurements).

Entries must be received by Sunday, June 3.  So, break out the pots and pans, and get cookin’!

Good luck to everyone!

Best dishes,
Casella
