Kennett woman wins grand prize in cooking contest

KENNETT SQUARE » A Kennett Square woman won the grand prize in Eggland’s Best Foodtography contest, taking home $5,000.

Lisa Keys, a former Food Network Chopped Champion, won the contest with her Fruit & Yogurt Smoothie Bowl Cake recipe.

“Creating my Fruit & Yogurt Smoothie Bowl Cake recipe for the Eggland’s Best ‘Foodtography’ Contest has been so much fun, and I’m extremely excited to be named the Grand Prize Winner,” said Lisa Keys. “I’m a huge fan of Eggland’s Best.”

The Eggland’s Best “Foodtography” Contest challenged EB fans to submit photos of their most delicious Eggland’s Best dishes. Lisa’s eye-catching cake was inspired by the latest trends in smoothie bowls. Fruit and yogurt smoothies are a popular dish in her household, so she decided to take it to the next level by creating a cake using Eggland’s Best eggs.

“The number of top-quality submissions received in our first-ever ‘Foodtography’ Contest was astounding, and we are extremely pleased to congratulate Lisa Keys on being our Grand Prize Winner,” said Charlie Lanktree, President and CEO of Eggland’s Best. “The contest showcased the talent of our EB fans, who appreciate the better taste, nutrition, quality, and freshness of Eggland’s Best eggs, that can make any recipe better.”

Photos were judged based on photographic quality, creativity and originality. Semi-finalists winners were first selected, and then narrowed down to the top four finalists through consumer voting on the EB website. Eggland’s Best then called on fans again to help determine which of the four finalist photos would earn the title of Grand Prize Winner.

“This contest has shown us that any meal can be delicious and nutritious when using Eggland’s Best eggs,” said Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner. “Using a better egg like EB makes for a more nutritious and tasty dish, which is why they are the only eggs I recommend to my clients and serve my family.”
