Good Food Award

Doorstep Bakery was asked to compete in the Good Food Awards being sponsored by Michael Polland and Alice Waters. These two people are well known in the foodie world and Doorstep is thrilled to participate.

Small, local and artisan food producers are being asked to submit a sample of one of the food items listed in the categories given. The food item will be judged for its worthiness. The winner receives a trip to California (or was it New York) hmmm…I forget. Honestly I never thought we would ever have chance to win so those details are not in my memory. J I was excited just to be asked to compete. I am sure that they searched the Pick Tennessee sight and asked us to participate because we are part of that promotional.

The categories are spirits, beer, sausage, cheese, chocolate, pickles, preserves, and coffee. Since there is no bread category then we will enter our jam. I am not a proficient jam maker but preserves are the only category that even comes close to something I know about (unless you count ‘eating chocolate’).

So here goes. We will keep you posted on our progress. As the saying goes, ‘Nothing ventured, nothing gained’. What’s the worst that can happen? My family has to eat stacks of waffles drizzled with less than perfect jam. No problem. J
