Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli Partners with Fisher® Nuts for Third Annual "My Fresh Twist" Recipe Contest
CHICAGO, Sept. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Fisher nuts kicks off its 3rd annual "My Fresh Twist" Recipe Contest today. Beginning now through October 20, 2015, home chefs from across the country are invited to submit their original recipe using Fisher pecans, walnuts or almonds to www.myfreshtwist.com for a chance to win an all-expense paid trip for two to New York City, $500 spending money and a meet-and-greet with Food Network Chef Alex Guarnaschelli at her restaurant, Butter.
"My favorite part of this contest is the inspiration I get from all of the original entries," said Guarnaschelli. "It is so fun to see the creative ways that people put fresh twists on traditional classics. I particularly love when our contestants showcase Fisher nuts as an integral part of their recipe, rather than simply featuring the nuts as a topping!"
The top twenty entries will be professionally photographed and showcased on www.myfreshtwist.com where Fisher fans and their friends and families will be able to vote for the top three recipes from November 3, 2015 until November 17, 2015. Chef Alex Guarnaschelli and a panel of judges will then select the grand prize winner from the three finalists. Recipes will be judged on their originality, integration of nuts, taste and visual appeal.
One grand prize winner will receive a trip for two to New York City, a meet-and-greet with Chef Alex Guarnaschelli and $500. As with last year's winning recipe, Hummingbird Cake Doughnuts from Shauna Havey of Roy, Utah, this year's winning recipe will also be featured on the Fisher nuts website, social media pages and in local and national news publications. The grand prize winner will be announced the first week of December.
Nineteen finalists will receive a $100 Visa gift card, an autographed Chef Alex cookbook and a Fisher nuts sample pack. Forty random weekly winners will also win a Chef Alex cookbook and a Fisher nuts sample pack.
