CAFÉ and The Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board are pleased to announce their second WMMB Contest for foodservice instructors at all levels.
This year there is a twist! There will be 12 winning TEAMS chosen for the all-expense three-day tour of Wisconsin Cheesemaking, July 17-20, 2011. The teams will consist of a student and a faculty member.
You may choose your team in a number of ways, but only one recipe will be accepted on behalf of the team and either both individuals have developed the recipe OR an instructor can run a recipe contest within his/her own class to choose the winning recipe. Here are the specifics:
