Warsaw Cooks Wins Blue Ribbon For Carrot Cake
FRANKLIN, Tenn. – Just in time for Mother’s Day, Warsaw home cook Cara Roe’s Grandma Cookie’s Carrot Cake recipe has been awarded a blue ribbon at Just A Pinch Recipes, a recipe and coupon social network for home cooks at www.justapinch.com.Roe’s Grandma Cookie’s Carrot Cake was named a blue ribbon winner by Just A Pinch Food Editor Janet Tharpe. To land the award, Roe served up a full-flavored dish that was both tasty and easy to prepare.
“This recipe came from my mom, a.k. a. Grandma cookie. When my mom and dad were married back in 1970 my great grandma gave them a church cookbook and this was a recipe in it. I have changed a few things by adding some ingredients and lightened it by replacing half of the oil with applesauce. You won’t miss the extra oil because this is a super moist and tasty cake. It also makes fabulous cupcakes.”
Roe is one of 133 Warsaw residents sharing recipes with the social network, which
in just two years has become the largest database of user-posted recipes
… anywhere.
On the site, users can post their own “family tested and approved”
recipes and try recipes submitted by others, use a menu planner and grocery list,
create custom cookbooks, print hundreds of grocery coupons, enter recipe contests
and join discussion groups. They may also use Pinch It!, a robust site feature that allows users to capture and share recipes from virtually anywhere online with a simple click and seamlessly integrate them into their digital recipe boxes. These features allow home cooks to build relationships virtually, as if they are sitting around one big kitchen table.
“We continually add new features to the club based on the feedback of our members,” says Tharpe. “It’s because of people like Cara Roe, who is proud to share her family’s favorite recipes with other home cooks, that the club has become so popular and is growing so fast.”
