DANDELION COOKING AND BAKING CONTEST RULES

1. There is no charge to enter the contest. Each contestant may enter multiple items in any or all of the categories with a maximum of 6 entries.

2.. To find recipes check the computer and google the words “Dandelion Recipes” or check cook books because many of them include dandelion recipes.

3. Collect dandelions from safe sources: land that has not been treated with herbicides and chemical fertilizers for at least three years, and land that is not next to a busy highway or roadway picking up particle pollution from vehicles.

4. The food entry should be eight to ten portions in size. These portions will be divided into smaller parts for sampling.

5. Deliver the food entry anytime between 10:30 to 11:00 am. Judging will begin at 11:00 and public tasting at 12:00 pm. Sampling is free to contestants.

There will be four categories: baked (breads, muffins, cookies, cakes, etc.), appetizers and entrees, soups and salads, and miscellaneous (jellies, syrups, beverages, etc).

6. Submit a card with a list of the ingredients so that people sampling the food can avoid allergic reactions. Samplers will appreciate your supplying optional recipe copies listing the source.

7. Prizes will be awarded at 12:30 to winners in the four categories.
