 <\/p>\n

Food Challenge:<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This contest, modeled after such competitions as the Food Network\u2019s \u201cIron Chef,\u201d challenges teams of 4-H members to create a dish using only a predetermined number of ingredients. From these ingredients, team members must identify and prepare the dish, then make a presentation about it to the judges. The presentation will include information about the serving size, nutritional value, and cost of the dish. The 4-H Food Challenge allows 4-H members to demonstrate their culinary and food safety skills to judges and observers.<\/p>\n

Each team will have at least three and no more than four members.<\/p>\n

Food Challenge contestants please have one<\/u> parent representative from your team fill out the form at the following link:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cost for the Food Challenge Contest will be $10\/member competing<\/strong> and must be turned in prior<\/u><\/strong> to the contest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Food Show:<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The theme for the Food Show is \u201cRestaurant Re-Creations\u201d.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite restaurant entr\u00e9e? Is it an appetizer like fried cheese sticks or a main dish like Chicken Alfredo? Maybe your favorite dish is a side dish like sweet potato fries or chips and salsa? Most Americans feel an evening out with family or friends qualifies for indulging in a few extra calories. However, the low nutritional value and high calorie and fat content of some of your \u201cfavorites\u201d may shock you!<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s 4-H Food Show theme, Restaurant Re-Creations, challenges contestants to take their favorite dish and make it a healthy one! Contestants should find ways to \u201crecreate\u201d the taste by using alternate ingredients and cooking methods. Contestants should discuss in their food show interview the substitutions of ingredients utilized to acquire the same taste and quality as their favorite restaurant serves.<\/p>\n

Food Show contestants please fill out the form below:<\/strong><\/p>\n
