This sounds simple at first but you'd be surprised how many categories are actually out there.
We have agreed that some entries may work over multiple categories.
for example. A vegetarian Lasagne may not win the Vegetarian category but it could take out the title of best main meal.
The original categories proposed were
Mains
Entrees
Desserts
Special Diet (Vegan, Gluten Free, Nut Free etc)
Question:
- Do you think we need to expand on these categories?
- Should special diet be split into further categories so nut-free is not competing against gluten-free?
- Should we have weeks dedicated to certain fields? eg: One meeting for mains we cover chicken, another week beef?
- What different categories can you think of?
Please feel free to comment & discuss.

I'd say keep it simple to start, but maybe tag with all applicable categories when an entry is posted?
ReplyDeleteI agree with ysabet that it should be kept simple to start with, but when we do special diet categories, it should definitely be all nut-free, or all vegan, or all, guten-free, etc.
ReplyDeleteDoing it this way would be a challenge for the chefs, and also be a great showcase for the range of meals that can be eaten taking special diets into consideration. :-)
