Hey everyone, thanks for the round-up kudos! I hope everyone gets a change to visit each entry as well.

Magic Tofu, my apologies for the gender-confusion. Clearly my powers of internet persona deduction are not at their best these days! All fixed now. :-)

Noodle, again, congrats, and that is one hell of an acceptance speech! Cheers!

With chef hat puffing up like a souffle, Noodle Cook, the electronic masterchef, shrieks “I’ve won! I’ve won!” Noodle jumps onto the stage like a kangaroo, while the crowd cheers loudly and hundreds of press cameras flash. In the big leap forward into the electronic centre stage of culinary success from the mediocrity of home cooking, Noodle drops what looks like an Imperial roll (toilet paper), hyperthetically containing the lengthy acceptance speech. The roll unravels across the stage towards the crowds while Noodle barely hangs onto the top corners of the paper. Still heady from the aroma of licorice champagne jelly, Noodle begins, “I thank my grandma and her sheep tongue and brains in aspic jelly for inspiration, Owen of Tomatilla the creator of Paper Chef, the judges and hosts at Timber Belly, the challenger chefs from all corners of the world, Kanga Kitty….” The crowd senses a boring speech and someone resembling villain John (the Secret Reviewer) from “An Electronic Restaurant” reaches out to tug the Imperial roll off Noodle’s hands to end the speech. “Wake up, wake up Noodle!” someone yells “Guess who is judging next month’s Paper Chef?” Noodle’s chef hat suddenly deflates like a fallen souffle….

It’s amazing to see what some of the participant came up with. Thanks for this amazing round up Mrs D and Chopper and for the ‘nod of recognition’ :-).

And a little last comment: MagicTofu is a he, not a she… although most of the online gender test argue the opposite.

Cheers

What a delectable basil-infused journey around the world–I love the geographically organized roundup! Thanks to Mrs D and Chopper Dave for hosting and for the special recognition. My little acorn squash bowls would be so proud; they worked so hard.

Creativity kudos all around :)

Lovely roundup and thank you everyone for entering and biggest thank you of all to the Belly Timber dynamic duo for running the show while actually achieveing their regular lives and a whole bunch more!

I’m beginning to think that it is the more challenging ingredient pairings like this set that lead to the most fun Paper Chef events!

Great round-up Chopper & Mrs. D - it was fun to read, except my mouth was salivating looking at the pics and descriptions. I think there are definitely some recipes that I would like to try! Thanks for your hard work - hopefully you will be catching up on your sleep over the next few days!
