Great Rewards
Recipe contests and Cooking contests are not only a lot of fun but can be very profitable. Prize money has soared as sponsors realize that cooking contests are a way to generate valuable information on consumer trends and receive thousands of recipes and ideas that incorporate their products. There are hundreds of food competitions, sweepstakes, and cooking events every year around the country. Prizes range from cookbooks and baskets of goodies to appliances, vacations, and large cash rewards. With all the great prizes and cash awards available, many cooks have n turned contest cooking into a lucrative hobby.
