Grand prize to be $500 Hannaford gift card

Anonymous Daily Star The Daily Star Wed Jan 25, 2012, 02:30 AM EST

Do you make a killer steak sandwich or a potato soup that has been called "the best in the world"?

What about a delectable devil's food cake or those deviled eggs everyone keeps talking about?

How would you like to share your recipe with our readers and have a chance to win a $500 Hannaford gift card to boot?

Then send us your recipe for the 52nd annual Daily Star Recipe Contest and Cook-off. All recipes must be received by Feb. 1.

Six finalists will take part in a live cooking contest, where they will compete for prizes.

A grand prize of a $500 Hannaford gift card, a second place of a $100 gift card to Hannaford and $50 Hannaford cards for the third through sixth place winners will be awarded.

Recipes will be printed in a special supplement to The Daily Star on Feb. 10. After which readers will have a chance to vote for their favorites. One readers' choice recipe will be chosen to compete in the cook-off.

The cook-off will take place at the State University College at Oneonta's My Kitchen in Mills Hall from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25.

The event will be much more than a cook-off of six contestants.

Master chef Joseph K. Poon, a 1978 graduate of the State University College at Oneonta, will return to his alma mater and judge the competition and provide a demonstration.

Catering chef Bryan Bennett and executive chef Billy O'Donnell of SUNY Oneonta will also be judges and compete in a challenge.

There will also be a demonstration by SUNY Oneonta culinary arts students.

Joining Poon, Bennett and O'Donnell on the judging panel will be Sharon Wilsey, owner of Best Wines & Spirits in Oneonta. Wilsey is a former cook-off contestant and judge.

Recipes may be mailed to The Daily Star Recipe Contest, c/o Newsrooms, P.O. Box 250, Oneonta, NY 13820; faxed to 432-5707; emailed to recipes@ thedailystar.com, dropped off to The Daily Star's office at 102 Chestnut St. in Oneonta, or submitted online at thedailystar.com/cookoff.
