Just A Pinch Cooks Heading to Las Vegas

The world of creative cooking is a unique population that is perhaps best encompassed by the folks at Just a Pinch – an online community of people who simply cook for the love of cooking – and love to share their masterpieces!

“It’s kind of like an old-fashioned recipe swap of blue-ribbon winners and all levels of cooks!” said Lori McLain, a longstanding member of Just a Pinch.

Just a Pinch has been a proud and supportive partner of the World Food Championships since day one, and as the story goes with anything that is well seasoned – 2014 promises to be the best yet!

This year, Just a Pinch held multiple coveted Golden Tickets (entry to the World Food Championships) for several of the nine competition categories. Those interested simply had to share their recipes on the Just a Pinch website, and then, it was off to the judges to determine who would be representing the Just a Pinch name at the World Food Championships.

“I’ve only been a member of Just a Pinch for a short time but I enjoy the sharing of recipes among the members, posting and sharing our own recipes and being able to share stories, cooking tips and advice on a number of topics and issues. I’m glad I joined and plan to continue enjoying its features,” said George Levinthal, a Just a Pinch-er who will be competing in the World Burger Championship.

“My expectations for the WFC competition this year, is to soak in and enjoy the experience of the event, meet lots of people who I’ve met on Facebook food related pages and, of course, produce an exceptional, winning burger. This is my first trip to the WFC and can’t wait to be a part of this,” said Levinthal.

Congratulations to each of the Just a Pinch team members. We wish you the best of luck this year!
