2018 National Banana Pudding Festival and Cook-Off

The 2018 NBPF Cook-Off will be in an open pavilion, on stage, in front of a live audience in 2 groups.

A gas stove with 4 burners and an oven (12” wide X 15” long) will be used.

You will prepare your pudding recipe in two different dishes. The first is a 2
-quart stoneware Puddin’ Pot provided by the Contest. These Puddin’ Pot will be provided to you at the Cook-Off. The second dish is one provided by the participant. It must be 2 quarts in size. You may need to double your recipe.

The pudding in the dish that you bring will be judged on creativity and appetizing appearance. This pudding will be sampled by the NBPF Cook-Off panel of official judges and the audience.
