Christmas Menu Recipe Challenge

Pridružite se Božićnom izazovu!!!

Astal Kuhinja ima tu čast da ovaj mesec bude član sudija za izbor recepata!

Welcome to the 8th recipe challenge organized on Very Good Recipes!

Participating

The challenge is open to everyone, whether you have a food blog or not.

In order to participate, you need to enter one or more Christmas recipes for an appetizer, and entree (main dish) and/or a dessert.

• If you have a food blog registered on Very Good Recipes, you just need to publish your recipe on your blog with a link to the challenge page http://verygoodrecipes.com/christmas-menu-challenge in the text of your recipe.
  Please also add a link to the recipe category so that we can find participating recipes easily:
  • Christmas Appetizer
  • Christmas Entree (main dish)
  • Christmas Dessert
  It will then be automatically listed on this page. (if you don't see it after 30 minutes, please e-mail me)
• If you have a food blog (or a blog with a recipe category or label) but are not yet registered on Very Good Recipes, you can register in 30 seconds.
• If you do not have a blog, you can participate by sending me your recipe with one or more pictures. I will publish your recipe on Very Good Recipe's blog so that it can be displayed on the challenge page.

Rules:

• There must be at least one picture in your recipe, and both the recipe and picture need to be your own. If your recipe is inspired by another, please mention it in your recipe.
• You cannot use an already published recipe to participate in the challenge, you need to publish a new recipe (otherwise there's no challenge!)
• We would love to have participations from all around the world, including from blogs in languages other than English. Please do include an English translation of your recipe in your post though. :-) If you need help with the translation (proofreading etc.), we will be glad to help if we can.
• You can participate with up to one recipe for each category: Christmas appetizers, entrees (main dishes) and desserts.

You can participate from December 5th 2013 until January 5th 2014 included.
