Whether you are a culinary student just starting out, an experienced home cook seeking inspiration or ready to start that blog,  July’s Food & Wine Conference #FWCon in Orlando, Florida should be on your radar. I missed last year and vowed: never again! This year, I purchased my ticket early and also was honored to be chosen as a brand ambassador for the #FWCon. More on that in a minute.

I’ve been following Sunday Supper on Twitter and Pinterest for delicious inspiration for when the family gathers around the table. Isabel Laessig, aka @FamilyFoodie, started the #SundaySupper movement and will be speaking at the Food & Wine Conference about how one day a week, becomes a way of life.

The conference schedule is packed full of entertaining events, informative speakers and great opportunities to connect with brands before, during and after the conference.

Who-Should-Attend

Consider entering one of the four main recipe contests, listed below.  I’m currently developing recipes for several of the contests it hopes that I find that perfect recipe by June 27th. I love chocolate, so the  The Dixie Crystals Sugar Brownie Dessert contest was a natural.

Potatoes are near and dear to my heart and a staple side in our house. The Idaho Potato Commission has challenged us to come up with a recipe reinventing the breakfast potato.

Idaho-Potato-Recipe-Contest-large-2Davidson’s Safest Choice Eggs has a no-bake recipe contest, where entrants can use these pasteurized eggs in many different applications, without heating up the kitchen.

Safest-Choice-No-Bake-Summer-Recipe-Contest-Banner-2If you’ve had the pleasure of dining at any of the Rosen Shingle Creek restaurants, the final contest will be especially fun. Create a recipe inspired by one of the Rosen Shingle Creek restaurants listed here. Get creative!
Rosen-Contest-Enter-TodayThe prize packages for the various contests include FREE Food & Wine conference tickets, cash, trips and hotel stays. Official rules are detailed in each contest and remember, you have until June 27th to enter. So, take a few minutes away from pinning recipes on Pinterest and get to perfecting a few of your own recipes for a chance to win some great prizes and bragging rights.

2015 Update: Because I’m again a #FWCon brand ambassador, if you use code FWC15wilkL you will receive discounted tickets to the 2015 Food & Wine Conference, held July 17-July 19, 2015. Special thanks to all of the great sponsors who are contributing to this years conference and the surrounding events and contests.
