Thank you for taking time from your busy holiday, last weekend, to enter our contest and to share with the Cook with Us community. The CwU team, (@pandamama, @offoodandart and @chefsteve), enjoyed reading all of your entries. It was so interesting to see the different types of foods that people eat while celebrating Easter and Passover around the world. We also liked reading about people's favorite Italian dishes. There were a few of our favorite Italian dishes entered this week.
Before we get to this week's winners, we want to remind everyone that this week is the cocktail challenge. Feel free to enter your favorite cocktails, your original cocktail creations or mocktails (non-alcoholic drinks). OK, let's see who the winners are this week!
And The WINNER Is...
Squid with Black Quinoa by @foodforsoul
Congratulations @foodforsoul you are the winner this week! You will receive 5 SBD for placing first. We loved your glazed squid with black quinoa. This dish is very complex with rich and spicy flavors in the marinade/glaze that are balanced with fresh and bright counterpoints in the salad. We would be happy to have this dish as part of an Easter feast.
And the Second Place Winner is...
Italian Easter Bread Rolls by @lizelle
@lizelle, Congratulations for being the second place winner. You will receive 3 SBD this week. We liked your version of an Easter bread roll with the chocolate eggs. Your bread looks so light and fluffy and the addition of chocolate makes this a real treat!
And in Third Place...
Mama's Kosher Matzo Meatballs by @cooknbake
Congratulations @cooknbake! You have won third place this week and you will receive 1SBD. Your meatballs with matzo in tomato sauce looked like the perfect dish for a large family gathering. We are sure that everyone at your Passover meal was happy with this dish!
Honorable Mention
Les's Beef Lasagna by @lesbento
This week we would like to give a shout out to @lesbento for her delicious looking beef lasagna. Your addition of chutney caught our attention and made this dish an original. Thank you for sharing your dish with us.

Really enjoying your contest and all the encouragement from the team and the lovely contestants here as well! Well done to @foodforsoul and the other winners, the food's been awesome so far :):)
Thank you so much @cookwithus this is most unexpected. It is very encouraging and now put additional pressure to do even better for the cocktail. I must admit I haven’t made many cocktails in my life so the next contest is going to be interesting.
Same here @foodforsoul, congratulations on your win! Not a cocktail mixer but will give it a go ;)
Really nice dishes, really hope the contest keeps growing! looking forward to the next weeks winners
