Iron Frog

The challenge has been extended... the gauntlet thrown down.

Who will pick it up?

But what challenge, I hear you cry?

Why to be crowned Iron Frog - culinary amphibi-king (or queen) of the pond, of course.

Each week contestants will front up in their own kitchens to take on the culinary challenge and produce an edible version of that week's challenge dish. 

Kitchens can be in homes, hotels, hostels or hospitals

(but those with a fully equipped domestic kitchen may get points removed for being smug and comfortable).

 

Rules:

1. Any recipe can be used. Competitors don't have to use the same recipe.
2. Parental assistance is permitted  - but the bulk of the preparation and cooking must be done by the nominated competitor.
3. The contestant must present a photo of the finished product on the frogblog. That photo should include a frog.
4. Each contestant will then award themselves points out of five for:

• Flavour
• Presentation
• Innovation
• Amount of mess made (where "easy to clean up" equals 5 points and "kitchen is a disaster area" =1.) This should also be photographed.

 

The winner each week gets to set the next recipe challenge. In the event of a self-assessed tie, an almost independent judge (Hugh) will be asked to choose a winner based on photos.
