Cook Off
For the summer of 2012, the competition continues for the cooks in the Falls Creek Cook-Off. Adult sponsors will be allowed to enter items in any of the five categories:
- beef / pork dish
- chicken / fish dish
- side dish
- dessert dish
- late night snack
If you wish to participate in the cook-off, you must enter an item that has or will be served in your cabin during your week of camp to all the students and that is “homemade.” Also, dishes must be delivered in a disposable container to the cafeteria, since no dishware will be returned.
Dishes may be delivered to the cafeteria no earlier than 4:30 p.m. and no later than 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Either the cook who prepared the dish or a representative can fill out an entry card at the cafeteria when they drop off their entry. Dishes will be judged beginning at 5:00 p.m. Thursday evening. Cooks/representatives do not have to be present during the judging. Winning dishes will be announced Friday night before the Evening Tabernacle Experience.
Please provide a written copy of the recipe so the great meal idea can be shared with other groups in the future. Recipes from past cook-offs are provided here.
