I have such famous relatives. :)
Ft. Worth paper:
Competitive cooks these days can find a recipe contest for just about every ingredient, cooking specialty, skill level and age group.
Just ask Fort Worth psychologist Loanne Chiu or South Grand Prairie High School student Seth Brammer, both of whom were prizewinners in recent national cooking contests.
Chiu, a frequent cook-off winner who enters dozens of recipes in various national contests each year, won the $7,000 grand prize in Veg-All's Makin' It Easy Recipe Contest for her Braided Italian Hot Strudel, topping a list of eight winners announced last week.
Brammer, 17, won a $14,000 scholarship to Johnson & Wales University as one of 20 finalists in the noted culinary and hospitality school's National High School Recipe Contest. The son of Jill Brammer of Grand Prairie, Brammer cooked his Sweet-Potato-Basil-Crusted Flounder With Lemon Cucumber Couscous and Peppered Asparagus for a panel of high-profile judges Feb. 12 in Denver.
