Soup R Delicious Recipe Contest

Samantha’s Cafe is cooking up a recipe contest and community cookbook, which will also benefit eight local charities. The contest gives local residents a chance to show off their culinary excellence, but moreover, gives them a chance to raise funds to support a local charity.

“Community members are invited to submit their original soup recipes for the Soup'r Delicious Cookbook. Eight of these recipes will be featured here in the cafe during April with 50% of each soup sale donated to their designated charity,” said Liz Wilcox, co-owner of the cafe in Union Square on South Street.

Patrons are encouraged to make additional donations to each charity at Samantha’s Cafe throughout the month.

Throughout the month, professional chefs will secretly taste the soups to select the contest winner. The award winner will receive bragging rights for the coming year, first page placement in Samantha’s Cafe and Catering’s Soup’r Delicious Cookbook and a stockpot of surprises. The winner will also receive the coveted “Giant Soup Spoon” award.
