The competition in question was "A Taste for Tomatoes", hosted by lovethegarden. The comp was organised for them by a lovely friendly lady called Brittany, and you can see the details of not only the winners of this competition, but also the other participants, on her website tellittothestars. Have a look and see what great recipes were submitted... The competition was judged on this occasion by famous food blogger and writer James Ramsden, whose work is published in some of our highest-profile newspapers.
My entry was the one about green tomato sauce with pesto.
Perhaps it was a bit too obscure to merit winning a prize! I suppose not that many people have access to green tomatoes (and I don't mean ones that are green simply because they are not ripe).

Lovethegarden are bound to be hosting more competitions like this in the future, so I strongly urge you to take part. As they always say "You have to be in to win!" If you think that nobody ever wins these competitions you see advertised, think again. For instance, Jane has won us a VIP trip to Masterchef Live on 11th November, including overnight accommodation and £500 spending money. If you are interested in finding out about such things, visit her website The Competition Grape Vine
Masterchef Live? Maybe she can tell Greg to stop bullying contestants. WE once saw John Torode giving a cooking demo at Gardener's World Live partnered by Carol Klein. It was linked to growing rhubarb and for once Carol found it difficult to get a word in!
ReplyDeleteI remember your post about entering that competition, commiserations on not winning. Congratulations to Jane on winning her competition though, she seems to be extremely lucky.
ReplyDeleteGood point, if you don't enter you can't win. Just catching up on your blog. You've some amazing cooked dishes posted (as usual). Your Wordless Wed autumn photo is fab!
ReplyDeleteHi Mark, I like your recipe contribution :) Well, you're a winner in my book as your blog is always full of inspiration and great recipes. Congrats on the win by Jane, sounds like the perfect prize for the food lovers!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the congratulations - I'm sure Mark will be telling you all a LOT more about the show after the event.
ReplyDeleteOoooooooooooooooo your tomatoes look fine, my zebras never get as plump as that! Trip to masterchef will be fun ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Mark, lovely to discover your gardening blog, a whole new category for me but I'm loving it! Your photos are lovely and the green tomato is so vibrant. Sorry you didn't win the recent competiton, but as you say, always worth entering. I won a £350 ticket to a conference and a year's supply of tea, so it does happen!
ReplyDeleteI love that photo, the first one. I like the way the image is placed in a real space and while you can't really see what is behind it, I like the placement. Put into a real space.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of the tomatoes is superb. I was given a box of tomatoes in September by someone who had grown all sorts of stripey ones and I must say that I liked the green one best of all. I saved some seeds of all the different types so am hopeful for next year.
