Dooney’s Kitchen Anniversary Food Processor Giveaway – Updates

I have 2* Kenwood and/or Phillips Food Processors (with Blender Jug) to give away and I am going to have changed the grouping format for ease of collating entries, and to also make it more open and fair. For Group 1, if there is a tie, or the runner up truly impresses me, then I will make it a total of 3 Food Processors to give out. Again, I would like to make it clear, that location is not part of the selection criteria for winning, so please do not be discouraged from participating. By hook or by crook, wherever you live, if you are selected as a winner or winners in Group 1, I will get a Food Processor across to you somehow. The brands I have listed are by no means exhaustive, as location of the winner, will determine what is appropriate to be used, based on things like sockets, voltages etc.

Get ready to be creative people. It is 1 year since Dooney’s Kitchen was born, and I hope I have truly inspired you in this past 12 months. Now, it is time to show me what you have learned.

Here are the new changes for the Grouping.

Group 1 – Well this is easy peasy. You MUST be an email subscriber to the blog AND you also have to LIKE the Dooney’s Kitchen Facebook Page. Two actions, not either or. I know many of you read this blog, but to establish your identity, I will need an email address and your Facebook account. This is to confirm that it is one and the same person. No funny business of creating multiple Email and Facebook accounts, because this is not a game of luck, where the higher your number of entries, the higher your chances of winning. So, if you have just been reading, or even commenting with your email address, I’m afraid you will have to subscribe to be considered eligible, because part of the competition to win this would involve sending me an email(s) for Round 1 and pictures of your creations on Facebook for Round 2. So, get to subscribing to the blog and liking the Dooney’s Kitchen Facebook Page.

Entries are open as from today March 4th, and they will run until April 4th. The winners will be announced shortly before Easter. Imagine yourself with a brand new food processor as an Easter gift. How cool will that be?

Here is your task

  • Round 1 – Tell me the most creative dish you can whip up using a food processor AND tell me how much owning a food processor will improve your cooking. Let me clarify, no cooking is involved in Round 1. Just tell me what creative dish or dishes you can whip up using a food processor and by whip up, I don’t necessarily mean the food processor will be doing the “cooking”. I mean, what creative dish can a food processor help you prepare i.e. how will the food processor aid you in cooking that creative dish, what role will it play etc. The most creative answers will be shortlisted for Round 2.

All entries for Round 1 MUST be sent to my email address. [email protected]

  • Round 2 – Take a cue from one of my recipes, turn it over on its head, and create something that is modern, and oh so Nigerian. It has to be from one of my recipes, because as part of your submission, you will say which recipe of mine you modified. I will also check the recipe post to see if it is not something I have mentioned that I can do with the recipe. Your submission has to be totally you. Express yourself, think outside the box, let your creativity take flight and produce a fabulous dish that is worthy of being posted on the blog, with all credit given to you.

Your creation plus your recipe MUST be posted on the Dooney’s Kitchen Facebook Page for all to see. Don’t send me an Inbox message, post on the Facebook Page.

Group 2 – I am yet to confirm from the website administrators the details of this giveaway. Until I get the go ahead from them, it will not be proper to announce this yet, so if you are reading this now, it will be best if you participate in Group 1. You already know the website I write for, but lets leave out their name for now. Of course, if you have entered in the competition for Group 1 you are automatically disqualified from participating in this group.

Good Luck……………………..Tick tock, a Food Processor awaits you

    • Amen Guinevere. Thank you for your prayers and kind words. Location does not determine the winner, so Ghana peeps are definitely in the running

  2. What kind of food processors are up for grabs? 🙂 I think telling us the kind/brand of food processors will make the contest more mouth watering.

    Reply

    • Kenwood and/or Phillips, but it will still depend on the location of the winner, as those brands may not be available where the person(s) live.

      • Great! Happy 1st anniversary! In these days of a million and one food blogs, I’m sure the past year was not without stress. Wishing you many more followers/subscriptions/viewers and adverts.

        PS. I know manufacturers often donate their products for giveaways. If you haven’t done so already, think about contacting them. 🙂

        • Thank you Vivian. Hopefully by next year, I will have lots to give away. For now, this is coming from my own pocket

    • I’m sorry Abimbola, but email addresses alone as a means of confirming your identity will not suffice. I have to make this as transparent and as open as possible, so people will also know that this is not some fake giveaway. Someone that can be looked up or confirmed that they truly won. Sorry about that.

  6. Congratulations- never knew it was a year; felt like forever. Have added to my experience of cooking through your page. Now time to think of different things have cooked – luckily I take pictures. Done a few things but like you said; have tweaked it to my own version.
