Welcome to the Veeky Forums challenge: Monthly edition!

SCORING GUIDELINES

We recommend an 'Iron Chef' style scoring system. This means you, the people of Veeky Forums, will judge each entry individually instead of deciding on what you feel is the "best" dish.

Dishes are scored out of a total 20 points, based on 4 categories (worth a maximum of 5 points each); Presentation, Originality, Appeal and Challenge Goals. You may award 0's if you feel the contestant did not meet your expectations for a category.

-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills
-Originality: Creativity in composing the dish
-Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter
-Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)

The distinction between Presentation and Appeal: If someone submits an artfully arranged but burnt steak as an entry, it may score high in Presentation but low in appeal.

***
Copypasta Scoring Format for Lazymodo

Presentation: /5
Originality: /5
Appeal: /5
Challenge Goals: /5
Total: /20

This month we'll be trying out casual voting only.

The theme of April is..... Roll a Spice!

Make a post and match the end of your post number to the following:

1. Ginger
2. Pepper
3. Vanilla
4. Basil
5. Garlic
6. Five Spice
7. Paprika
8. Chilli
9. Cinnamon
0. Rosemary

If the spice you roll is unavailable to you, you may reroll once.

While you're perfectly welcome to make a large spread of food, please make sure there is clearly a "main dish" because that is what people will be voting on.

Those of you who rolled in the ded thread, you may keep your roll or reroll in this thread.

Rolling for Rosemary. Respectfully, how is one to showcase the spice? You could make any pretty dish and say it has x in it. Should there be some perameters?

They see me rollin...

rollannnnn
its gonna be 5 spice :(

FUCK

It's entirely up to the participants to do as they please, and also up to the voters how they're gonna judge the results.

For instance:
I roll pepper. I could use a variety of different peppercorns, white, black, pink etc. I could make a pepper consomme. I could make pepper candy.

When making the above things, take photos of the process and include them when you post, or in the vertical. That'll help people believe you.

It's a for-fun challenge so theres no point in cheating.

woah how did you know

Keeping my roll from warosu.org/ck/thread/S28373#p30134

Fair enough. Failed for the vert last round due to messy kitchen, poor lighting general laziness and not wanting to catch a raft a shit for it by strangers (yeah, yeah welcome to Veeky Forums complimentary cola and...) Will attempt for the current challenge.
