Welcome to the /ck/ challenge: Monthly edition!

The theme is announced on the 1st of every month, and submissions are welcome all month!

The winner for the March challenge is Toothpick !ar04b2AUa2 who submitted an egg yolk ravioli with tomato sauce and zested parmesan and salt cured egg yolk. Congratulations!


SCORING GUIDELINES

We recommend an 'Iron Chef' style scoring system. This means you, the people of /ck/, will judge each entry individually instead of deciding on what you feel is the "best" dish.

Dishes are scored out of a total 20 points, based on 4 categories (worth a maximum of 5 points each); Presentation, Originality, Appeal and Challenge Goals. You may award 0's if you feel the contestant did not meet your expectations for a category.

-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills
-Originality: Creativity in composing the dish
-Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter
-Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)

The distinction between Presentation and Appeal: If someone submits an artfully arranged but burnt steak as an entry, it may score high in Presentation but low in appeal.

The theme of April is..... Roll a Spice!

Make a post and match the end of your post number to the following:

1. Ginger
2. Pepper
3. Vanilla
4. Basil
5. Garlic
6. Five Spice
7. Paprika
8. Chilli
9. Cinnamon
0. Rosemary

If the spice you roll is unavailable to you, you may reroll once.

While you're perfectly welcome to make a large spread of food, please make sure there is clearly a "main dish" because that is what people will be voting on.
