Participants bring a finished product of their chosen recipe with them to the contest, if it is not something that can be finished during the demonstration, or requires an oven. (Ex: pies, baked goods, casseroles, etc.) Judges evaluate the 4-H member s skills, neatness, organization, taste, appearance and nutritional value. The members will fill out a Menu Planning Sheet which describes a complete menu for one meal which includes: the featured recipe, a statement of where the recipe came from, lists major nutrients found in the recipe and their function, and information about the featured New York State product. The top 6 participants are specially recognized, and receive first chance at representing Cayuga County at the New York State Fair contest. 2
