About the Winning Video
“A very creative twist on a traditional recipe. Great one-dish meal for company.” Lisa Prince
“I loved this new twist on a classic Italian recipe. How creative he is! While not a recipe to whip up on a weeknight, this dish is sure to impress company. For that reason, it is one to add to your recipe collection. Plus, I loved the video; straightforward and to the point.” Andrea Weigl
“His recipe was YUMMY! His direction with what he was doing was easy to follow. Great personality. Nice send off at the end! I wanted to eat his meal as soon as I saw the video!” Jenn Snyder
“I like the story behind his dish. It was a creative adaptation to a family recipe. It was very professional how he had all his ingredients prepped beforehand, which made the process seamless and easy. He seemed personable in his video and the final results looked fancy enough to serve guests.” Priscilla Tsai
