4-H State Cooking Competition - at the California State Fair JULY 25th

July may seem far way, but it's the season for cooking! 4-H members 9 and older are invited to participate in the 4-H State Cooking Competition at the California State Fair. In preparation for this event we suggest Project Leaders use the Cooking 101 curriculum (available here: Cooking 101 curriculum ). Teams will consist of 3 youth members and will compete at a self-selected level of Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced levels. See division descriptions below. Divisions: Beginner: Beginner teams will prepare one healthy main entree dish. Beginner teams will use predetermined and preapproved recipes and are not required to incorporate a secret ingredient. Each team will have 15 minutes to gather items from the pantry, and then 60 minutes to cook their dish. A panel of judges will taste and determine the winning team! Intermediate: Intermediate teams must prepare a healthy three course meal consisting of an appetizer, entrée, and dessert using provided recipes. They are required to incorporate a secret ingredient. Each team will have 15 minutes to gather foods from the pantry, and then 60 minutes to cook a three course meal. A panel of judges will taste all courses prepared and determine the winning team! Advanced: Advanced teams must prepare an appetizer, main course, and dessert without the use of recipes. Cookbooks are not allowed for Advanced competitors. All dishes must incorporate a secret ingredient that will be revealed at the competition. Each team will have 15 minutes to prep and then 60 minutes to cook a three course meal. A panel of judges will taste all courses prepared and determine the Champion! Notes:

• Each team may bring one tool to use during competition.

• Each team must wash their dishes and return them after competition.

Cole Creek had a very enjoyable month of November. We started the month by helping the Lakeport Women’s Civic Club set up and take down for their annual craft fair. We also sold 3G Farm’s Natural Goat Soap as a club fundraiser at the LWCC Craft Fair. The club made a delicious start to the holiday season with a Thanksgiving potluck during our monthly meeting, where we discussed new club t-shirts. We then joined other clubs around the county celebrating Veteran’s Day by handing out cards at the LC Veteran’s Day ceremony. A float is in the works for the Kelseyville Light Parade on December 2nd. We hope to see you there and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
