Create Cooking Challenge Fail

Writer's picture: Rebekah LingenfelserRebekah Lingenfelser

American Public Television, a sponsor of Create TV, recently hosted a cooking competition inviting home cooks and professional chefs to submit a two-minute video demonstrating a favorite cooking tip or recipe. So naturally, I auditioned. Participants competed for a $1000 grand prize to finance the completion of a 10-episode web series to appear on CreateTV.com.  Just this week, the winners were announced! I’m sad to say,  my video was not selected, but what an opportunity it was. I’d like to congratulate the Grand Prize Winner, Jamie Isobe from Brooklyn, New York. It’s no wonder he won…his video is killer and mouthwatering! Job well done and way to go, Jamie.

Despite the outcome, I’m excited to share my how-to audition video: “Holy Guacamole: A Lesson in Avocados.” Thanks for watching! You can also get my go-to guacamole recipe here.

Losing is no fun, but every time I try and fail, I’m made better. I learn so much from participating in these auditions, and competing keeps my skills sharp. 😉 After all, I’m no stranger to chasing my dreams–remember My Taste of Hollywood and my recent announcement about culinary school? I’m going to keep calm and carry on cooking, while I focus on this sentiment from Thomas Edison — “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”

You can check out all the winners of the Create Cooking Challenge here.
