We have shared this on our Facebook page with our followers.  We have been asked where they can find the winning recipes.  Much interest in trying the winning dishes.

What? No links to the winning recipes themselves?  I’m dying to try Blueberry Pierogies, and I’d love to discover what Spring Gnudies might be.  They all sound so good!

The recipes are forthcoming—my mouth is watering too!  The recipes are going to be on the Anolon cookware website. We will be posting here on our blog once a week to share the stories behind the recipes, and each blog post will link out to the Anolon website so you can find the recipes. Thanks!
