CwU #34 Theme - Secret Santa

The holidays are here and what better way to celebrate than to show appreciation to our friends on Steemit. In this final week of season three, the Cook with Us team, @chefsteve, @offoodandart and @pandamama, thought it would be fun to do a secret Santa theme (Thanks for the suggestion @plantstoplanks!!). This secret Santa is a little different that what you may be used to.

The way this will work is that you will pick whatever dish that you want to make and then you dedicate that dish to anyone on Steemit. Put that person’s name into your title.

For example:
Cook With Us #34- Secret Santa gift post for @…………

This week it is really about giving someone an unexpected “gift” post to show your appreciation. In your post, let the community know why you choose the person and the dish! This should really make for some great stories!

As a reminder, after the secret Santa theme, we are taking the rest of the month off for the holidays. We hope that you will have a wonderful holiday season and we look forward to seeing you in the new year!

The Cook with Us Contest

Three Contest Tiers

The Cook with Us contest is now divided into three tiers.

The first tier is the General Pool. Every contestant starts in the General Pool. The 1st place winner in the General Pool advances to the next (second) tier on the next round.

There are 3 prizes awarded in the General Pool and they are as follows:

  • First place - 5 STEEM
  • Second place - 3 STEEM
  • Third place - 1 STEEM

The second tier is the Winners' Circle. The contestants that have won in the General Pool advance to this tier. A contestant who wins twice in the Winners' Circle will advance to the next (third) tier on the next round. There are 3 prizes awarded in the Winners' Circle and they are as follows:

  • First place - 5 STEEM
  • Second place - 3 STEEM
  • Third place - 1 STEEM

The third tier is Super Cooks. The contestants that have won twice in the Winners' Circle advance to this tier. Currently, there is only one prize for the winner of Super Cooks. The winner of the round will receive 5 SBD.

Love it! Now I just have to figure out who I want to dedicate my dish to! Thank you all once again for all you do and for making this such a fun challenge! You have definitely earned a good break after this one!

Thanks @plantstoplanks! We love having you with us at CwU! You have taught me so much about vegan cooking during the last few months. Your creative dishes have inspired me to make more vegan food in my daily work and I can say it has been well received! Thank you for inspiring me each week with your vegan creations!

It has absolutely been my pleasure! You all have cultivated such a welcoming and inspirational cooking community here. It is so great to see cooks from all over the world using a whole host of ingredients and techniques. I have learned a whole lot, as well, so I'm just happy to return the favor a little bit! I know a lot of times my friends or family are at a loss when it comes to cooking for me, so I'm sure the vegans in your life appreciate the time and effort you put in to putting food on the table for them!

Ah! I just realised that you need a hand written post-it to show that the dish is mine, the food is already in my stomach haha...

This is the first time I am entering so I do hope that this kind of work.

I'll add the proof tag later.

Hey @littlenewthings! I just saw your post and it is awesome! Do not worry about the proof photo this time. Just make one for next time.

Thanks so much @chefsteve ! I’ll try to remember to have a pen and a post it with me at all times haha
