Fisher Nuts, Elgin, IL, recently kicked off its third annual “My Fresh Twist” Recipe Contest. Home chefs from across the country are invited, through Oct. 20, to submit their original recipe using Fisher pecans, walnuts or almonds to www.myfreshtwist.com for a chance to win an all-expenses paid trip for two to New York, $500 in spending money and a meet-and-greet with Food Network chef Alex Guarnaschelli at her restaurant, Butter.
“My favorite part of this contest is the inspiration I get from all of the original entries,” says Guarnaschelli. “It is so fun to see the creative ways that people put fresh twists on traditional classics. I particularly love when our contestants showcase Fisher nuts as an integral part of their recipe, rather than simply featuring the nuts as a topping!”
