Contest Rules:

  1. Select any one of your favorite family holiday dishes.  It could be an appetizer dish, one of the dishes in the main course, or a dessert.
  2. Submit the recipe for your dish through the form above this video. There is an option to submit photos of the dish as well, but that is not required.
  3. There is a limit to one dish per household, but if you’re part of a large Italian American family – you’ll figure out a way around this by having your son submit an appetizer, your daughter submit a main course, and you’ll submit the dessert — and that’s perfectly fine.  And the recipes should be Christmas holiday recipes as the show will publish in mid December.

Entries are due by midnight Eastern Time on Halloween – October 31st.  Our judges Rossella Rago and Nonna Romana from Cooking with Nonna will review the submissions in early November, select the winners, and we will record the episode later in November for publication in December.

Botticelli Foods will be graciously supplying all of the food for the recording and cooking party.

If you have questions you can email me at [email protected] – but these instructions, which are also written out at the bottom of this page below the form, should make it clear.

The goal is for us to select enough recipes to make an entire meal from the first course, main course and the desert.

So go ahead, submit your recipe above, and maybe we’ll see you in kitchen.

Ciao Ciao!
