Young Brooklyn chefs wielded plastic knives as they put their cooking skills to the test in a “Gumbo Off” — a cooking competition taking place among P.S. 135 in Brooklyn and a Manhattan and Queens school.
Brooklynite Kelly Carámbul, over at the charming blog EatMakeRead, chronicles her zesty adventures in making and creating for her readers.
She is now asking for votes, having entered her favorite “anytime” cookie, the ginger cookie, in the Bon Appetit bake-off.
“Everyone loves a ginger cookie, but how could I push it even further,” she writes. “How about mini ginger cookies sandwiches with cinnamon cream cheese filling?! Whoa! Heaven!” See photo below.
This holiday season, Baked, a premiere comfort food bake shop in Red Hook, and Divine Chocolate, a UK-based leader in fair trade, are encouraging Brooklyn residents to enter to win a special recipe story contest.

BAY RIDGE — Daniel Mancini has made at least one man cry with his grandmother’s meatball and tomato sauce recipe.
The man was nearly 80 and hadn’t eaten a meatball since his Italian mother passed away. Although he first said no, he was persuaded by Mancini to try one during a supermarket tasting demonstration, after they discovered that Mancini’s grandmother and the man’s mother were both originally from Bari, Italy.
