Maine Public will host the second annual CREATE IT MAINE Recipe Contest on Saturday, April 28, in the Culinary Arts Building at SMCC. The contest, which is open to the public, invites entrants to submit a dessert recipe using as many local, Maine-centric ingredients as possible. Five finalists will participate in a live bake-off before a panel of judges, including SMCC’s own executive chef Jill Hannaford.
Entrants must submit their recipe in 500 words or less along with a final prepared-dish photo. Multiple submissions are allowed. The deadline for submissions is Friday, April 13, at midnight. Submissions can be sent to rsvp@mainepublic.org.
