The Hershberg Diet Recipe Contest
Calling all chefs - professional and amateur…
The Hershberg Diet is looking to integrate the culinary talents of dispersed generations, skill levels, and cultures to create the first peer produced cookbook co-created by the health conscious for the health conscious! Whether you're a stay at home mom with an armamentarium of kid friendly recipes, an experienced chef looking for an opportunity to showcase your masterpieces, a bubbie, grandma, nonna, yaya, or nan whose finally decided to reveal your secret recipes, or someone who has a fantastic recipe that other healthy eaters would love to get their hands on, this contest is for you.
Prize:
One grand prize award of $1,000 will be awarded to the overall best recipe and there will be 6 runner-up awards of $200 each for the best recipe in each category.
Rules:
- The categories for recipe submissions are as follows:
- Breakfasts
- Soups, Salads and Vegetable Side Dishes
- Entrees (Fish and seafood, chicken, and meat)
- Pastas
- Desserts
- Child approved/fun recipes
- You may submit as many recipes as you like.
- Your recipe must conform to either Phase One or Phase Two of the diet. While I encourage you to pick up a copy of the book to best understand the theories behind the diet, if you don't have a copy you can still enter using the simple guidelines below:
Phase I Recipes:
If you are creating a recipe for Phase I, you may use any of these listed Phase I foods. Please try
to limit the quantity of fats used however to less than 3 tbsp per recipe.
Phase II Recipes:
A Phase II recipe can have unlimited Phase I foods but cannot have more than 3 portion equivalents of the
Phase II ingredients listed per recipe.
So, for example, you could use 1 cup of whole wheat pasta (this is 2 portion equivalents), 1 handful of pine nuts (1 portion equivalent) for a total of three portion equivalents of Phase II ingredients. The rest of the ingredients would therefore have to be Phase I foods. I have provided another example following the list of Phase II ingredients.
