Greetings of the day lovely foodies!

So what's up my dearest friends!? How was the week!?

It's Friday and after the closing of the 12th Round of Steemit Iron Chef earlier, here I am again...this time to announce the start of the 13th Round!

Time has been flying and we have been growing too...Just have a look in our community feed and you'll understand what I am talking about!

Most of our entries have been curated by the booming account already...and we will have some more for the 12 round!

I take this opportunity to thank all those entered the last round by sending an entry based on banana!

At my latest count, there were 34 entries in total for round 12! Great rate of participation again!

If ever we receive some more, but before that I complete my judging, I will surely have a look and see if I can take them into consideration.

Results will be out by Sunday - Stay tuned for that!

Let's go for the 13th Round ladies and gents!

What is Steemit Iron Chef all about!???

In a big picture, SIC is a unique type of cooking contest which will be run each week till the end of year (2 ACTS of 15 rounds each), and the theme will be based on a single different product each week, which I select and reveal on Fridays!!!

The participants have to sublimate that particular product in either a Starter or Main Course or Dessert!

Read this word again : SUBLIMATE = TURN IT INTO HIGH QUALITY / MAKE THE BEST OUT OF IT!!!

On top of weekly prizes (Minimum 25 STEEM), the contestants are ranked on a league thanks to points that they get depending on their weekly results and they are eligible to get a share of the BIG REWARD POOL at the end of each ACT!

This pool is actually held in the liquid steem wallet of @steemit-ironchef

From time to time, I exchange my SBDs earned and send back to grow that pool + contributions + donations from foodies around. Each round the pot grows bigger!

We started at 16.7 STEEM for the first round and now we are already over 180 STEEM!!!

If you need more info about SIC, kindly check my blog or send me a message on our Discord Channel or here in the comments section!

• Only one entry per person is allowed.
• Make sure to use #steemit-ironchef as your first tag, so that I don't miss your entry!
• Only new recipes will be accepted, so I will need minimum one photo with your name and date on it.
• I don't need to see your step by step preparations/recipes or pictures of you... just make the list of the products used, describe your dish and add some photos to get my attention!
  Make it sweet and simple!!!

For you guys to get an idea of how I judge the entries, below is the evaluation sheet that I use for each and every participant of Steemit Iron Chef.

Please note that I will be the only one judging all the entries based on my 19 years career/experience as a professional Chef.

25 STEEM AS WEEKLY PRIZE

Below are the prizes which are distributed to the top 7 each week!

In case someone else wishes to grow the pot or contribute in a way or another, please reach out to me!

Most of the time...when making the judging...I usually give out much more than 25 STEEM as prizes to the top entries!

GRAND REWARD POOL FOR THE LEAGUE - OVER 180 STEEM ALREADY

Finish the first Act among the top 50 contestants and earn a portion of the big reward pool! Oh yes, there are a lot of different rewards for you in SIC!

The grand reward pool is saved on the @steemit-ironchef wallet(Liquid Steem) and we are already over 180 STEEM!

Each week I add some more depending on how much I am earning on my posts from my blogs!

It would be great if everyone can send whatever amount they can to grow this pot before the end of the 15 first rounds!

FYI in 2017...the pool distributed to 20 participants was 1005 STEEM!!!

I hope to get some more donations before the end of the 15th round...let's wait and see!
