The second annual St. Louis Jewish Light Cooking Contest invites local bakers to show us their best and their tastiest Passover desserts. Together with the JCC, we are asking you to submit your favorite Passover dessert recipe and email it to [email protected], typing “Passover dessert recipe” in the subject line. Or you can mail it to Ellen Futterman, c/o St. Louis Jewish Light, 6 Millstone Campus Drive, Suite 3010, St. Louis, Mo. 63146.

All entries must be typed (or clearly printed) and received by 5 p.m. March 25. Be sure to include your name, a daytime phone number and address.

Our panel of judges will review the recipes and select the top eight. Criteria include originality, creativity, and degree of difficulty, with more points earned for those recipes that use fewer ingredients and/or are easier to replicate.

The eight cooks will be notified shortly after March 25 and asked to prepare their dessert and bring it to Room B at the J’s Arts and Education Building, 2 Millstone Campus Drive, at 10 a.m. Sunday, April 3. At that time, judges will review and taste each entry, before deciding on a winner and a runner-up. Prizes will be awarded to each.

Both winning recipes will be published in the Light prior to Passover and all eight recipes will be published online at www.stljewishlight.com.
