The Louisiana Sweet Potato Commission, along with Louisiana Cookin' magazine, has announced the conclusion of the sixth annual Sweet Rewards Recipe Contest, naming five first-place winning recipes and one grand-prize winner.
Margee Berry, Trout Lake, won the grand prize with her dessert Sweet Potato and Apple Upside Down Caramel Cake and earned a $1,000 cash prize as the grand-prize winner.
This year, there were 913 entries, the highest number of entries since the contest started. Entries were grouped into five categories: professional, appetizers, side dishes, entrees and desserts. Students from the Culinary Arts program at Delgado Community College in New Orleans prepared the final recipes for judging.
Judges for the contest assigned a first, second and third place winner from each category, as well as an overall grand-prize winner. The winning recipes were decided based on overall flavor, texture, visual appeal and creativity.
Louisiana Cookin' magazine will feature the winners' names, recipes and photos in its October issue and will also post the winning recipes on their website.
Recipes are also posted in the recipe section on the Louisiana Sweet Potato Commission's website at www.sweetpotato.org.
The Louisiana Sweet Potato Commission was the main sponsor for the 2010 Sweet Rewards Recipe Contest. Their mission is to promote the consumption of Louisiana sweet potatoes by educating consumers on the yams' many nutritional attributes and its amazing versatility in popular, delicious recipes.
Bruce Foods and the Culinary Arts Department at Delgado Community College also sponsored this year's contest.
The next Sweet Rewards Recipe Contest will begin in January 2011.
