Hello Foodies of Steemit!!!

I know the wait has been a bit longer for this last round of Act 1, but the fact is that I was busy compiling everything to close this act in a proper manner so that we can move on with the next act this coming Friday!

So yes...I've finally completed the rankings of round 15 where the product to use was POTATO! We've seen lots of top quality entries and it was really hard for me to do the rankings...when you check the weekly table below, you will see how close nearly everyone was to each other!

Finally I decided to reward the top 10 entries with a total of 58 STEEM!

57 entries for the 15th round!!!

Huge thanks to all who entered! Having 57 entrants in a cooking contest is really a great number!

And among the 57 participants...we had 8 new ones joining for the first time - welcome on board my friends!
