Contest Recipes
Earlier this year, we ran a recipe contest for cooking enthusiasts and those aspiring to explore new cuisines. Our rules were simple, send in an original healthy recipe using whole grain brown rice; or, an exotic style recipe using Thai Jasmine or Indian Basmati rice as an ingredient. The recipes were judged based on: taste, appeal/appearance, originality/creativity of the finished recipe. Here are the winner's recipes:
