Winter Contest Winner:  Sorry - none was selected.

 

December/January/February Contest Theme:  Cooking with Tea / My Tea-licious Main Course Recipe

 

Seasonal Category:  Recipe with digital picture of prepared food submission

 

Deadline:  February 28, 2008

 

Prize:  Free 4 oz tin of the fine quality tea from the The Cozy Tea Cart that is used in the recipe.

 

Contest:  Tea is not just for sipping anymore.  Master Chefs all around the world have been cooking with tea for years, (Documents dating back to the Tang Dynasty and Edo period report tea being used in foods for added health benefits.)  It is becoming increasingly popular today because chefs have realized that people's health aims and hunger for wellness have risen. Leading Chefs have realized the beneficial health benefits and quality of flavors from tea absorbed into foods.

 

In this contest, use one of The Cozy Tea Cart’s fine quality teas to create the perfect recipe.  It should be a main course and MUST be your own recipe.  The recipe doesn’t have to be elaborate or difficult to make.  To help you with ideas on your own recipes, we have copies of “Eat Tea” by John Harney and Joanna Pruess for sale in The Cozy Tea Cart.

 

A copy of the winning recipe will be published in our March, 2008 newsletter.  The April and May 2008 newsletters will have a link to your recipe on our web site.  All submissions should be delivered to The Cozy Tea Cart, 40 Mountain Rd., Brookline, NH 03033, before February 28, 2008.  Your submission will be judged according to our Seasonal Contest Rules.
