Contest "Gastronomic Calendar: 12 Flavors of the Year"

A year is not just days in a table, it's a journey through 12 amazing worlds, each with its own color, scent and character: from a crisp January morning to a juicy August midday, from the spicy breath of autumn to the gentle haze of spring. We invite you to become the authors of a flavor legend in the "Gastronomic Calendar: 12 Flavors of the Year" contest, which will run from 4 to 14 January — capture the very essence of one of the months on a plate and invite it to the celebration — to the New Year table. The most talented chefs, according to the project administration and moderation, will receive the following rewards: 🎅 A part of the "Angouleme" outfit (of your gender, with a choice of part and color) and the "Chef" title. Other authors of tasty creations, besides the winners, who take part will receive a "Kisa"/"Kotik" headband (of your gender, with a choice of color) and 20 charm certificates. 🎅 The number of winners will depend on the number of entries: - from 1 to 10 — 3 winners; - from 11 to 20 — 4 winners; - from 21 to 30 — 5 winners; And so the number will increase with every 10 additional entries. 🎅 Your creative mission: 1. Choose your hero — any month (from January to December) that left the brightest mark in your memory. 2. Create its edible portrait. Prepare a dish in which the soul of this time lives. Let it be your personal, original story — you can reimagine a classic or invent a new culinary world. 3. Come up with an original name for your culinary creation. It should be associated with the dish and the chosen month. For example: "March Wind in a Cup" or "September Caramel in a Jacket". 4. Take at least 3 shots of the cooking process: ingredients, the cooking process, decoration and the culinary creation itself. 5. For the dish itself, describe the recipe in detail so that other flavor seekers can repeat your journey. 6. The final photo of the dish must show a sticker with your in-game nickname and the project's logo or name. 7. Publish the photos, the dish's name and the recipe using the pinned form in the "Gastronomic Calendar: 12 Flavors of the Year" thread by 14 January 23:59 Moscow time. 🎅 Evaluation criteria: creative approach, correspondence to the chosen month, visual appeal and completeness of the recipe description. 🎅 Participation rules: 1. Each player must take part from only one main account; double accounts (twin devices) are prohibited. If a violation is detected, the main entry and the duplicate are removed from participation. 2. One dish per participant within one chosen month is accepted. 3. Plagiarism and the use of others' work for any purpose are strictly prohibited.
