Deadline Extended! 2008 Comfort Food Cook Off
Saturday, January 19, 2008
In case you'd like to participate but need an extra day or two to submit your comfort food entry, I'm extending the deadline to this coming Monday, January, 21st. That means the round-up of all the submissions will also be pushed back a little bit. I'm also working on how to best let you all vote to determine the winner.
I think the competition is going to be stiff! Deliciously cozy-sounding recipes have been coming in from all over the world - including Oakland, India, New York, Austria, Boston, England, Germany, San Francisco, and more!
So take an extra day if you need it - just email your entry to me at gardenofeatingblog@gmail.com by Monday.
Then get ready to vote for your favorite entry to determine the winner of the 2008 Comfort Food Cook-Off!

Announcing the 2008 Comfort Food Cook-Off!
Tuesday, January 1, 2008
Here in the northern hemisphere, we're about to enter the bleakest stretch of winter so it's time to cook up some serious comfort food.

What do you yearn to eat when the days get short, the nights get cold, and the going gets tough? Are you a chicken soup chica? A mashed potatoes man? A mac and cheese mama? Or do you find comfort in a food that is(gasp!) not white?!?
I'm looking for more than just recipes here -- if there's a story behind your comfort food, I want to hear it! I'm also very curious about comfort foods from other countries and cultures.
The deadline for entries in the Comfort Food Cook-Off is Saturday, January 19th. I'll post the round up on Monday, January 21st and announce the winner on Sunday, January 27th.
The winner will receive a copy of Macaroni & Cheese: 52 Recipes from Simple to Sublime by Joan Schwartz.
Please email your entry to me at gardenofeatingblog (at) gmail (dot) com (all one word, no spaces) and be sure to put "Comfort food cook-off" in the subject of your message.
Please include the following information in your message:
If your blog is not in English, please make sure that your entry is in English.
Looking forward to hearing from you all soon!
Special thanks to Andrew at Spittoon for getting this posted on Is My Blog Burning and to Lalaine at the CookMobile for her helpful advice and for pointing me to the Food Blog S'cool.
