Rules

- You may enter only once (only one category)
- Entrants release rights for recipes to be published in local media and on-line

Entrants are asked to provide two batches of the recipe:
- One, in “full dress,: to be photographed and divided among the judges (judges need very small servings; a total of “5” bites altogether)
- The second batch is for tasting by the public on a first-come, first served basis after judging
Entrants must bring their own:
- serving platters or bowls
- garnishes
- presentation flourishes
- serving utensils
The hotel will provide 5” disposable plates, napkins and eating utensils. If a recipe such as a sauce or salsa requires an accompaniment (crackers, breadsticks, chips, etc.), the entrant is responsible for bringing these.
Recipes will be judged on the following:
- Presentation (5 points)
- Flavor/texture/mouth experience (6 points)
- Originality and use of mangoes (4 points)
First, second and third place winners will be recognized in each category and an overall winner will be chosen by judges’ consensus. Top prizes include a two night stay at the Moana, $110.00 gift certificate to the Beachhouse and an Afternoon Tea for two.
