You must have recipes for each of your dishes turned in to Mark Wilkins by August 1, 2009. Your recipe must be typed or neatly printed on 8 1/2" X 11" paper. Recipes which are not completed, typed or handed in on time will result in disqualifying contestant(s) from being judged.

Information required for entry:

• Your Name, address, city, state, and zip code
• Name of recipe
• Size of Dutch oven to be used
• Number of people recipe will serve
• List of ingredients (in order of use)
Example:
5 medium-size zucchini, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 cans (16 oz.) Hunts tomato sauce

Note: Spell out amounts of items. Don't use capitals, specify can sizes, state brands if needed, put in order of preparations or in groups of combination. In general, be very specific about the ingredients.

Preparation and cooking instructions:

In this section, don't shortcut the instructions. Assume that the reader is a novice Dutch oven cook and will need every step explained. You may know exactly how to do it, but they will not. It is better to be "overly" explicit about how to prepare the recipe and cook it than to leave any questions in the mind of the reader. Be sure to include items and temperatures, ratio of heat or briquettes on the top and the bottom and such details, which will result in the reader having successful first time experience with your recipe. The judges will then know and appreciate what you are preparing. Include cooking items, when to combine certain ingredients and when to add them. Also include any garnishing which you will use.

Above All - Have A Good Time!
