Note: The contest submission period had ended!
For our 15th Anniversary, we’re looking for original or family recipes that say Ventura County with each bite.

Open to anyone, home cooks and professionals, alike. Recipes can be sweet or savory, and connect with our county’s past, present or future.  Each recipe will be judged on its ingredients, flavor and how well it captures our county.

One winner in each category (Sweet or Savory) will receive an assortment of local items donated by Edible Ojai & Ventura County advertisers (listed below). Winners and their recipes will be featured in the Summer issue of Edible Ojai & Ventura County.

To enter:
~ Submit recipes to editor@edibleventuracounty.com
~ Include your name, email & phone number.
~ Include a photo of your dish
~ Tell us why your recipe says “Ventura County” (in 150 words max).
~ If the recipe is inspired by another recipe, let us know where it’s from.

Deadline: April 15, 2017.
