For those of you who have not yet participated in this very fun and creative monthly event this is how it works: Competitors from all over the globe compete by creating a dish based on three ingredients which are chosen by the last month’s winner. In the case of this month’s challenge, our winner from last month, Mehgan of A Craving For Perfection, chose as her three ingredients: White Chocolate, Pears and Lavender.
The three ingredients are announced and the competitors have about a month to create their dish, post their entry on The Leftover Queen Forum and then anyone can vote for their favorite. Voting lasts for 5 days and then the winner is announced, who then chooses the 3 ingredients for the next challenge.
The participation has been growing and the creativity is getting better each time! So if you have not joined this event yet, please join us this month for another round of
The Royal Foodie Joust.
*personal note* – I am leaving for New England on Friday and will be gone for 10 days. I will not have much internet access so I will not be able to get back with people as quick as I would like. I will do my best to get back with everyone personally, but may not be able to – please forgive me!

Congratulations to everyone! This was definitely a tough one. Though I missed the voting deadline, I know I would have had a hard time choosing.

hi jenn,
just stopped by to say hello. Am back from Africa! I’m so impressed with the skill level of your participants. I’m in awe, really. I also love the way you photograph food. I’m learning from you.
