Recipe Contest ArchiveLooking to see the winning entries for a Cook’s Country contest? Here are all the past contests.
Holiday Cookies 2012
The United States is more than a melting pot; it’s a mixing bowl. Our winning cookies this year span the globe, from India and Italy to Hungary—with a few classic American favorites, too.
Holiday Cookies 2011
We considered cookies flavored with Arizona honey, and we marveled at dough made with mayonnaise and at filling that combined chickpeas, chocolate, and rum. Here are this year’s seven winning recipes.
America's Best Lost Recipes 2011
Responding to our call, 1,200 of you entered beloved family recipes in our third Lost Recipes Contest, part of our ongoing project to preserve America's culinary heritage. Here are our five favorites, adapted and updated where necessary to simplify shopping and cooking. Bring them into your own kitchens to start your own new traditions.
Holiday Cookies 2010
Each year we look forward to receiving your holiday cookie recipe entries and each year we wonder how we can possibly choose one winner when faced with so many delicious options. This year we were so overwhelmed with the treasure trove of recipes that we chose seven winners, one of which is sure to become a classic in your kitchen this year.
Holiday Cookies 2009
Lemon Crunch Cookies, Sunbeam Cookies, Anise Drops: We asked for your favorite holiday cookie recipes and you delivered! Narrowing down our selection was the toughest job, and the sweetest, we faced all year. Fortunately, our contestants helped us out; our winning cookie offers three in one—cherry, vanilla-walnut, and chocolate.
Lost Suppers
We asked home cooks across America to submit their favorite old-fashioned recipes and the memories they evoke, and received more than 1000 entries. The theme that emerged from these entries was that of learning to cook alongside family. While we chose five recipes as prize-winners, we were so impressed with the recipes and stories that we published more than 100 of them in Cook's Country Best Lost Suppers, available in bookstores and our online bookstore at CooksCountry.com.
