For example you can buy a dozen eggs at the store, you do not have to go to a farm to get them) 3. If the contestants wish to bring something not on the list of approved ingredients they must gain approval from the “Marshal” before the day of the event. The best way to get approval is to submit copies of documentation on a food item this is as easy as a copy of an original (& translation if not in English) recipe from between 900 a.d. to 1600 a.d. Or you can submit archeological evidence. 4. Each chef may bring as many pieces of equipment, cooking utensils, pots and pans as they like.

Each Chef’s team will be responsible for making and serving a minimum of 2 dishes containing the “secret” ingredient within the time allotted. The total score will be based on 3 criteria: 1. Taste (50%), 2. presentation (25%), 3. creativity (25%) 6. Each dish needs to contain 5 servings. All portions are to be placed on a single plate not on separate plates. Contestants MUST provide their own platters, dishes and serving utensils. 7. The “secret” ingredient will be announced at 8:30 am. Each team will have 4 hours to cook and plate. Each team will draw a presentation time slot. Their heat source may be ready to go before they begin cooking but no cooking will be permitted, not even water on to boil. **Example if a team draws the 1 pm time slot they will not be permitted to begin cooking till 9:00 am. 8.
