This week, the California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB) launched The 2023 Real California Cheese & Mac Recipe Challenge. The CMAB is looking for professional food service chefs and culinary students to enter their top recipes for this classic comfort food for a chance at $15,000 in prize money. Six finalists will win $2,000 with the grand prize recipe taking home another $3,000 for their champion entry.
“This recipe contest is part of our continued efforts to partner with chefs and the next generation of culinary professionals to showcase the versatility and performance of California dairy products as key foodservice ingredients,” said Mike Gallagher, Business and Market Development Consultant for the CMAB. “California cheeses and dairy products are central to culinary innovation. The Real California Cheese & Mac Challenge will serve to reinforce chefs’ awareness of the endless varieties and styles of real cheeses and dairy ingredients from California that are made with milk from family farms using the most sustainable farming practices in the United States.”
Chefs are asked to submit a "recipe concept" as a part of the entry requirements. Each participant will create their dish, take photographs, and explain their concept to include details about the key dairy ingredients.
The entry period for submitting recipes is May 1–June 15, 2023, and the six Cheese & Mac recipe winners will be announced in July, with the grand prize announcement on August 31, 2023.
