Help celebrate the birthday of the Bundt
The Bundt pan turns 60 this year and Nordic Ware -- maker of the fluted pan -- is marking the occasion with a search for the best Bundt recipe from every state.
The recipes will be combined in a cookbook, "Bundts Across America." Also, the grand-prize winner receives a family reunion party for 50 and $1,000 in Nordic Ware products. Ten finalists will receive $500 gift certificates for Nordic Ware, and each state winner will receive a $100 gift certificate.
Recipes will be judged on how well the cake represents the baker's home state -- as well as originality, taste, texture and appearance. No elaborate frostings, please; the cake should be the star. And the contest is for amateurs only -- no food professionals.
Deadline to enter is Sept. 1. Enter via www.nordicware.com, or by mail to "Bundts Across America," P.O. Box 1692, Saint Paul, MN 55101-0692. Include a complete recipe, picture of your cake and a statement of why your cake best represents your state.
DINING OUT
Get in line at Orchids
We know, we know ... you just made it through all of your Father's Day obligations. But if you want to enjoy Chef Darryl Fujita's brunch at Orchids at the Halekulani in Waikiki, it's time to start thinking about Father's Day next year.
All holiday brunches at Orchids sell out three to six months in advance; consequently, the restaurant has already started taking reservations for Father's Day brunch in 2007.
Don't let Dad miss out on an elegant beachfront dining experience because you can't plan a year in advance!
Make your reservations today at 923-2311.
Send items to Katherine Nichols, 7 Waterfront Plaza, Suite 210, Honolulu 96813. Or e-mail knichols@starbulletin.com.
