Culinary Creation Contest Discussion Thread

[Sasunaich]

Good morning dear Gourmets of Eorzea,

First things first: of course it should say "Contestants must have a permanent residence in Europe or [...]". So everyone that has a permanent residence in one of the listed countries can participate.
Thank you Firesped for spotting this ! I apologize for the mistake.

Players from North America can not win this time, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. But since we already held a similar contest for the NA region we appreciate your understanding.

For the recipes, please use actual ingredients from the game. Please bear in mind that you would like fellow Eorzeans (or us ComReps)to eat and enjoy your dessert, so please have some mercy and refer from using sand, stones and the like

Hey Youmukon, I noticed that two of the entries "Meduras Lefser" and the "Sultanas Cake" were themselves made up of either two recipes in the case of the lefse (dough and cream) and four recipes in the case of the cake (sponge cake, marsipan, marsipan rose, custard).

These two recipes inspired me to make up a similar sweet requiring other potentially as of yet non-existant recipes as materials. Is this allowable? or is this in direct violation of: "Entries are limited to one per person. In the case multiple entries are submitted, only the first one will be accepted" ?

Considering that one recipe involves more than one non existant recipe...I don't really know how to interpret this. A little clarification would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It is perfectly fine if you want to create base and topping using two separate recipes. By saying "Entries are limited to one per person. In the case multiple entries are submitted, only the first one will be accepted" we are talking about players who - for example - make one post about making ice cream and another post about baking a chocolate sponge cake. These are two different posts with two different dishes.

Youmukon, one more quick question, can event only ingredients such as Powdered Sugar be used in the making of our delectable delicatessens?

Since Powdered Sugar is an actual in-game item, please feel free to use it

Is it Ok to include Moon / Dalamud nuts in the recipe for this?

Since it is a nut (and nuts are usually edible), please feel free to use it.


I hope this answered all your questions but if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
