Favorite Recipes

There is a wonderful food and wine event out there called the Great Taste Challenge that you have to discover.

This online event has people from around the United States pulling out their favorite recipes and matching them with their favorite wines.

From start to finish the entire thing is done on video. The ingredients used, how they’re prepared, how the stove is set and then how the meal is actually created. All done for everyone to see and it is an absolute blast!

And this year, 2010, saw a record number of entires…all of which are just delicious.

The entire idea is that there are no rules any more when it comes to how you match your favorite dishes with your favorite wines.

Where’s it written that a red wine has to accompany a beef dinner?

And it is not mandatory for a chicken or a fish dinner to be paired with a white wine.

In fact The Great Taste Challenge is all about expressionism and individuality. What do YOU believe is the best wine to pair with your best recipe? That’s really what’s brought to the surface here…what do you think is best? This is a food and wine event that changes everything!

And it is easy to see just how passionate these men and women are with their choices in these videos.

And now comes the really exciting part.

Now you get the opportunity to watch those great video recipes and vote on the ones that captivate you most!

This is the real social part of the contest. This is where everyone else gets to sift through the semi finalists and decide who should move on to possibly win the grand prize! How American Idol cool is that?

This is a great food and wine event that will go on for years. So vote this year and then get ready for next year!

Make sure you look out for more info about The Great Taste Challenge and never lose your passion for those recipes and those wine pairings!!!
