I'm glad they are testing the recipes (if that is in fact what they are doing), but how on earth did they think they were honestly going to do that given the original dates??

Gert - you sound very cynical about it all.  Is that from first hand experience?  I have never entered a competition before, are they always this bad?

I don't mind my recipes being "stolen" really.  I don't have any other outlet for them and so many of them just stay in my head or on my computer and have no reason for getting out and about.  If someone else loves my recipes, that's great.  I can't think of a way to earn money from them, so if I win a comp, all the better.

I do find their competitions a bit strange sometimes - what you can and can't enter; how they announce the winner (facebook?? what if you aren't on facebook?); the timing.

and I say again.....we continue to wait :P

Let's just say pippa that I would question everything HO says they do. If you want to think they are going to test every baby food recipe three times which, is the mimimun standard in the food world, then go  ahead.

You might find an outlet for your talents by creating your own blog. Not difficult and  great to share. Of course  you can always share here. When we use  others recipes  we always acknowledge the author. That is a polite thing to do.

Often contests on FB are designed to gather information about the person who enters. Sometimes they are just to generate traffic to their sites. The more traffic the more they can charge for ads.  also it is a good way for HO to then be able to go to your FB page and watch what you are doing and saying. This is why a lot of consultants are not on FB or have secured their FB pages though not always successfully.

Sometimes people like Tenina  and Helene at superkitchenmachine.com  have contests or giveaways to give something back to loyal fans. These  are always fun, fast and honest. 

A company like Voerwork is unlikely to give anything away for no return?

I figured that the reason for the comp was to get some more recipes under the baby food banner as they had next to no recipes on there.  If a potential tmx buyer was a mum with a baby or toddler and told how great the tmx was for stuff like that, then went to website and saw nothing there, it may put them off buying.

I won!  Yay, so excited!  Had a call from the office and apparently everyone in the office was enjoying my recipe very much this afternoon.  So there you go, they did make the recipe themselves ;)

Good on you. You will have to share  the recipe here for those who do not use FB.

Do you really think the staff were having  a feast of baby food?  ;D ;D I would like to see that!

no, I doubt it.  I would say they narrowed it down to a few that they liked and then tried them.  Can't imagine them eating all the puree stuff!

Here's a link to the recipe over on the recipe community  http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/recipes/broccoli-nuggets/49214

Thanks everyone  :)

oh yeah, they're good for all ages and actually quite more-ish!  But great as a toddler food because they don't know that they're eating broccoli  :D
