Entrants can submit an original piece of published blog writing that must be no more than 1000 words on any food related subject. It could be on a food travelling experience, a restaurant review, the head-note for a recipe, a story or article on an aspect of food that interests, excites or frustrates you.
Note: If the entry features a recipe, the story supporting the recipe will be judged, not the recipe itself so the ingredients and methodology are
not included in the word count.
