Project Food Blog: From My Heart

And so the sun has set on my participation in Project Food Blog, Foodbuzz’s first ever competition where 10 official challenges test the culinary and blogging skills of almost 2000 contestants, whittling them down until only one star remains…It was an honor and pleasure to compete in the company of so many talented bloggers.

Thank you all for your enthusiasm and encouragement. Thank you to the wonderful folks at foodbuzz and the esteemed judges Dana Cowin, Nancy Silverton, and Pim Techamuanvivit. Thank you to my friends and family for sharing the cooking, entertaining, and the excitement with me. It has also been great fun to meet so many terrific new food bloggers! Best wishes to the 24 bloggers remaining in the contest. The last three challenges are: Piece of Cake, You’re the (Restaurant) Critic, and The Final Post. All the remaining contestants are super qualified, we can’t wait to see who emerges as the winner. Bonne chance my friends!

    1. To My Dear Long Time Blog Friend Peter – thank you so much. Your blog is ALWAYS a source of inspiration for me. In fact, I’ve made many of your dishes. And this Thanksgiving, I put a Greek Cheese Plate on the appetizer menu, thanks to you!

    1. Hi Claudia – it makes me happy to hear that I will be in your home sharing a tutorial on tomato gelée! I sure do hope you make it and let me know all about it.

  3. Classy lady! You did a great job throughout the challenge and continue to do so even though the sun has set. You are a blog star…we don’t need a contest to know that!

    1. Joan – your words especially mean a lot to me. Thank you so much, I am so glad we are blogging friends and look forward to meeting you again in person someday real soon! My brother keeps asking me when I’m coming to Florida. He is on Plantation Key. So maybe we can cook together sooner rather than later…
