Have You Ever Entered a Cooking Contest?

Mr. Gooch and I, as part of our expanding love of cooking and baking have been thinking about entering some cooking and baking contests in the coming months.

We, and by that I mean me, have achieved a level of comfort in the kitchen that is moving away from just the basics. With this comes the desire to try to create some recipes of our own from the depths of our brains. That and it is a fun activity for us to work on together. Just the other night we were brainstorming beef recipes over dinner -talking flavors, spices, herbs, preparations and possible accompaniments. It was definitely a fun dinner.

We have some tasty (or so we hope) ideas so watch for recipes from the Gooch Test Kitchen in the coming months. We will be posting both our successes and failures.

First up, some beef recipes. The 2009 National Beef Cook-Off recipes are due at the end of the month.

To be followed by the North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission Bloggers’ Recipe Challenge, also due by the end of March.

Wish us luck!
