Registration will open Tuesday, June 2 at 10:00 a.m. ET
Participants will create and prepare recipes using ingredients from a mystery listing, that will be provided to teams after registering to participate. All ingredients will be items you will be able to purchase at your local grocery store or include with your next food order. Each team will prepare one entree, one side, one salad, and a dessert for a total of four items to present. This competition will be virtual. You will document your culinary skills through photos and PowerPoint presentations only, no videos. KCARE will provide a template to guide you in creating your presentation that will be shared with our judges.
The top 3 winning facility/community groups will earn 1 complimentary registration to the Dining and Nutrition Conference set for August 12-13. Those groups will be asked to share their presentation with the conference attendees on Wednesday, August 12.

JUDGING
Each team will "present" their culinary creations virtually to the judges. Final entry will be judged on presentation, creativity, engagement of residents in creating dishes or sampling them, and appetite appeal. (Taste is important, however our esteemed judges cannot taste your dish, so presentation, descriptions and creativity are crucial in this competition).

*Cameron Oestringer, Culinary Innovation Specialist for DiningRD
