And Now for the Winners! After a lot of deliberation, we decided that the 2 recipes below deserved to be a little above the rest because of their originality of concept and of course, the execution of the same.
Apple Rabadi (Indian category) – A classic twist to an old-time favorite Rajathani Rabadi recipe; deliciously flavored here with milk, apples, cardamom & cinnamon
Nanaimo Bars (Non-Indian category) – A traditional 3-tiered dessert bar that entices you with a combination of chocolate, custard and a nutty crumb layer.
Congratulations to both the winners, and thanks to everyone else for making this event such a huge success. The winners will be notified by email within this week.
Hope everyone enjoyed the recipes, and until next time, Bon Appetit!
I can't believe it! Everyone had such GREAT recipes. What a great group and I'm SO glad I didn't have to pick a winner.
thanks folks! yes, every recipe was a inner, but I had to pick 2:(
glad everyone got a chance to celebrate sweetness:)
Thank you so much for picking the Nanaimo Bars recipe! But I have to say that I think the best part about this contest is the list of wonderful new recipes for me to try. Especially the Indian sweets, which I don't have a lot of experience with cooking.
