30 Jan 2009 Pomegranate Contest Update — Thank you!

The POM Wonderful people have selected FotoCuisine’s Seared Duck Breast with Pomegranate Reduction as the winner of the 2008 POM Blog Recipe Contest!

Details, and the runners-up can be found on the POM Wonderful Blog.

You’ll notice the contest is in my name; there was only a spot for one name on the entry form. If it hadn’t been for Christey’s food styling and photographic talents, I doubt we would have been noticed as much.

Thanks to everyone who has commented on the original recipe, and especially thanks to those who attempted the dish and commented that it was an approachable recipe! We’ve had link-backs from Atlanta to Australia, and it’s really cool that people took an interest.

Over the next 11 months, I’ll be posting a pomegranate recipe a month which will appear here at FotoCuisine, and at the POM Wonderful Blog. Due to space considerations there (and my tendency toward verbosity), the FotoCuisine posts may be a little more detailed. So check back in, here and there! And thanks again from Christey and me for the encouragement and the visits!

  3. That sounds like a lovely dish, but you cheated for the photo! You made no mention of real pomegranates featured.. lol you only said juice! Hehe but I don’t care. I’d eat that up in two seconds.

  4. Okay I just realised it’s listed under the ducks and not the sauce. Boo, I’m a poor reader. Sorry!

  5. Wow, I totally remember drooling over that recipe the first time around. =p
