November Cook Off Winner

posted on: Monday, November 22, 2010



On Saturday Chris and Enzo tallied up the votes and made the top three most voted recipes, the apple and aged cheddar scones, the apple slaw, and the drowning apples cake.


My boys did a wonderful job cooking and baking and then I did a not so good job at judging. Judging was so hard. Everyone thought so except for baby Maria who had a very clear favorite.


For the rest of us it was so hard to choose. I caste my vote, then Chris, then our friend Seth, then Enzo who decided to vote for all three, then we had a conference meeting and we decided on a winner.  We loved all the recipes. The slaw had the most perfect texture, the scones had the most wonderful combination of savory and sweet, and the cake is so moist it feel like you're eating clouds.


In the end the winning prize goes out to Steph from The Local Spoon with the winning recipe apple and aged cheddar scones.


Thank you all for commenting and casting your votes.  Trish from Dish by Trish had the winning comment (randomly selected). So both she and Steph will walk away with a new petty utility knife from New West KnifeWorks.

Is it December yet? I can hardly wait for next month's cook off.

  21. I've decided that apples and cheese are the best invention since sliced bread. I made apple cheddar bread in October after our apple picking adventures and boy oh boy was it DELICIOUS. I can only imagine how great these scones are!

  25. Awwwwwwwww! Baby Maria is such a pretty baby! And she obviously has very good taste in food! HaaHaaa! Give her a BIG KISS for voting for my Apple Slaw! Those scones really sound wonderful, apples and cheese are one of my fav combos! Thanks for taking the time to do this and especially actually making and trying the recipes!!!!!!!

  26. Healthy Mamma- Of course. I appreciate the time you take to create the recipe, I'm so fortunate I have the chance to try them all.

    Baby Maria does have good taste in food unlike some people I know (ENZO!). We loved the slaw, we loved the yogurt and the little mayo and the texture, it was perfect.
