Competition Time!

by Gillian Polack

I’ve been having so much fun with this blog that I’ve decided it’s time to share some of the pleasure in writing about food.

Send me a few hundred words telling a food history story and you could win a great prize. I’m not talking wider food history here: I want family stories. They can be serious or funny or sad. With each story I want at least one recipe.

You can enter as many times as you like, but each person can only win one prize. If I really adore entries and they don’t win one of the three terrific prizes donated by Suz’s Space, I reserve the right to award an ebook to show that the stories were special or the recipes delectable, even if they didn’t win (I will also give judges that option).

I will blog entries. Copyright for all stories remains with you, but you have to be willing to let your stories remain on my blog - if they’re stories that you don’t want to be read, then please don’t send them.

Email all stories/recipes to me (using the contact button on the right of this page) by 1 August. I will finish blogging all the stories/recipes by 15 August and the judges will decide on the three best after this. Make your recipes mouthwatering and your stories delicious and you could win one of the three prizes that Suz’s Space has kindly donated (Suz has also donated the postage - visit her online shop - she has some cool stuff!).
