The Louisiana 4-H Food Challenge competition challenges teams of 4-H members to create a dish using only a mystery ingredient and access to a limited pantry of other ingredients. From the ingredients, team members are challenged to create a healthy dish while practicing proper food safety, food preparation, and communication skills. Following the dish preparation, teams then present to a panel of judges who will further test their culinary and nutrition knowledge with a question-and-answer segment. This challenge is like the show chopped. The challenge is held in the spring. Allen Parish 4-H would like to start preparing for this contest. We would like to schedule practice dates so that we are prepared and ready for this competition. The kids from our parish that participated last year had an amazing time at this state event! Please let Mrs. Brooke, if this is something you are interested in.blafargue@agcenter.lsu.edu

The recipe with 4 eggs must make only one standard size dish. For example, a recipe with 4 eggs that makes two pies of standard size will not qualify.
(Dish must contain at least one (1) cup of pecans)
(1Dish must contain at least one (1) cup of cooked rice. Wild rice is not cultivated rice in Louisiana and does not meet the requirement of (1) cup of cooked rice. Dishes containing rice products such as rice cereal, rice flour, etc. must also contain cooked rice. Example: Traditional rice Krispie treats do not meet the contest requirements.)
(Dish must contain at least one (1) pound of beef meat)

Contestants, parents/guardians, and leaders will not be allowed back into contest area after judging has concluded. Items not directly related to the dish such as placemats, flower arrangements, figurines, trays, large soup tureens, etc. are not allowed.
Only half of the dish / quantity of the recipe will be exhibited. The contestant may keep the other half of the dish at home for his/her family to enjoy. This saves money and reinforces safe food practices to prevent food borne illness.
