Hey guys, time for some more voting!

Hey all, I joined a new contest. It was kind of like the wine pairing one I did with Bobby Flay, just with this one it was Santa Margherita wine and if I win I get a cooking lesson from Top Chef Season 5 Fabio.

So, if you all don't mind check out the video and vote for me!

NEW TV Channel for the Home Cook is Open!

Hi All - I'm expanding Home Cooking Star for next Season by adding a TV Channel for recipes (just for home cooks) to publish their recipes and meals. I think this will help a competing home cook build a fan base to help with getting more diverse votes (rather than from only their friends and family). I think it will also provide a much better profile of each home cook. You can upload videos and write recipes, etc. based on the channel - visit it soon and sign up:… Continue

Congrats to all --- and where is the Saturday tasting?

Now that we're done with the contest -- it will be fun to try some of the recipes. We really give credit to all of us 'true' non-professionals -- who are not chefs, don't own restaurants or catering services, etc., and who had fun with delicious recipes as home cooks. There is an amazing amount of talent across this country -- and BBQ certainly has different 'flavors' depending on geography. This being a BBQ Sauce contest, having to do the 'black box' challenge was just that - a real challenge f… Continue

Congrats to All!!!

I just wanted to tell everyone that it has been a pleasure "meeting" you all and I think everyone did such a fantastic job throughout this entire contest! I know everyone's sauce is "the best" and so are you! I really don't have the stamina to enter Season Two, but will be poking my head in from time to time to see how everyone's doing. Think I'll stick to entering "recipe" contests that I don't have to work so hard at... and also spend more time working on my cookbook -- guess I just don't have… Continue
