Let your community’s cooking talents shine through and raise funds for your playspace. You can charge both a ticket price for eaters and an entry fee for cookers (encourage teams!). Decide what recipe is best for your community—chili and apple pie are two favorites! The winning individual or team wins a prize! Try to recruit local chefs as judges.
Prep Steps:
1. Decide on a recipe.
2. Advertise event, recruiting both cooks and audience.
3. Try to get a prize for the winner donated or discounted. Think about a cooking store or department store as a possibility.
4. Determine date and location of event.
Materials Needed:
1. Tables
2. Bowls/plates/utensils
3. Entry forms
Helpful Hints:
• Make sure that each ticket holder is equipped with a bowl or plate. Let them roam the tables, sampling as much as they need to vote wisely!
• In addition to a prize for the best recipe, have a “People’s Choice” category where ticket holders can vote for their favorite by placing extra coins or cash in front of their preferred booth/recipe.
• This event can be held in conjunction with another, like a carnival or auction.
