Weekly Recap

@chefsteve, @offoodandart and @pandamama are so proud of our contestants and the constant improvement that we are seeing in all of you. What a bunch of stars you are !!!

After this week we will have 10 winners. We are reaching out to see if we can get a sponsor to add to the prize pool for winners. Also, a reminder to start making short little videos if and when you are able. Our long-term vision is to have a video cookery channel.

Have a look at our Winner's post from a couple of days ago https://steemit.com/cookwithus/@cookwithus/cook-with-us-9-winners-announced to see a recap of our winning entries.

You are all winners in our eyes. Thank you to all our faithful entrants. Without you, there would be no competition.

Please also have a look at the rules in that post each week.

It saddens us that some entries are not valid even though we try our best to remind those who are not valid. Please remember to add your entry to the "post your entry" post each week and to resteem the post.

Happening Now

Check out our "post your entry" blog https://steemit.com/cookwithus/@cookwithus/cook-with-us-10-post-your-entry-here to see the latest theme - this week being "egg"
If you don't use a microwave - as one of our contestants stated, then you are free to just make an entry using egg. It couldn't be easier than that.

Our main objective in this contest is to get anyone to enter and not to feel that they don't have a chance, which is why we created the "Winner's Circle". We welcomed @alansthoughs as a newcomer - and he went straight through to Winner's Circle - congratulations !!

As our Winner's Circle grows we are looking for sponsors who will add to our prizes - so if any of you know any Whales or Dolphins that you could reach out to we will be very happy for any assistance in this regard.

We have a lovely prize in the pipeline and will discuss it with you very soon. We are just ironing out the contest to suit the prize.

Please upvote as many blogs of ours and fellow contestants so that we all can benefit in a small way from this contest.

We seem to be having a few glitches getting our Discord channel up and running properly but we are working on it

Another great suggestion from @whattheduck to use "an undervalued vegetable or fruit" as a theme. We value any suggestions from you - our team.

Shout Outs

A HUGE thank you to those of you who are commenting on other contestants posts and making some new friends along the way. We know how time-consuming it is to comment and equally to answer all the comments - but very worthwhile in the end
