Garlic Mustard Cooking Contest

We Want You! There is a cooking contest connected to the 2008 Garlic Mustard Festival and we’d like you to participate. There are three levels of participation: Non-professional chefs split into two categories, adult and youth ages 6-17 years of age and professional chefs.

Professional chefs will have the same guidelines except they will be preparing their food in the park the morning of the competition. Non-professional chefs will bring their items already prepared.

All categories will be judged – there will be a winner from each category, with prizes of course! Non-professional categories will have a team of judges. Festival attendees who have purchased a “$5 plate” will be able to vote for the professional “best of show!”

Put on your chefs hats and have fun cooking with garlic mustard! Garlic Mustard Infestation
