Be part of the chocolate adventure?

TuttiFoodie and Scharffen Berger® Chocolate Maker is sponsoring a recipe contest:

"Create a recipe for any course—appetizer, entrée, dessert, even a drink—using dark chocolate and at least one adventure ingredient (some of you may prefer to use more than one). Recipes can be sweet or savory, with ingredients that are frozen or baked, roasted or fried, blended or infused—you name it. They don't have to be complex or fancy—but definitely delicious. Each recipe submitted to the Chocolate Adventure Contest must call for Scharffen Berger® Chocolate Maker chocolate—containing anywhere from 62% to 99% cacao—and at least one adventure ingredient from the list below.

Ancho Chili Powder
Amchur Powder
Cacao Nibs
Cardamom
Cloves
Curry
Ginger
Green Tea
Grapefruit
Lavender
Lemon Verbena
Lemongrass
Mastiha
Pomegranate
Quince or Quince Paste
Rosemary
Saffron
Sea Salt
Star Anise
Wasabi

The Contest begins at 12:00:01 AM Pacific time on September 1, 2007 and ends 11:59:59 PM Pacific time on December 1, 2007."

More details at: http://chocolateadventurecontest.com/. I happen to have a bit of chocolate at home (and a few of the adventure ingredients), so maybe I can figure something delicious out and enter. Stay tuned for a recipe or two..

Now I think you get some cashmoney for winning, but the real prize is that they will start making and selling your chocolate delight from the Scharffen Berger cafe in Berkeley. Now that would be dope; think of all the culinary cache!
