#WhatsInYourFood\u00a0<\/a>Contest Winners<\/span><\/h1>\n

This past holiday weekend, we asked\u00a0Foodstanders to share what ingredients were gracing their Thanksgiving tables. The winning Foodstanders were those who tagged the most ingredients across all posts,\u00a0because good food starts with celebrating what’s in it. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

First Place Foodstander:\u00a0Paola (@Mokalocks<\/a>)<\/h2>\n

Our favorites of what’s in Paola’s food: Apple, Fig, Apricot, Eggplants, Lime, Banana<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Signature Dish:\u00a0Peruvian Shrimp Soup
\n“I learned to make the Peruvian shrimp soup in one of the first\u00a0cooking classes I took about ten years ago. This soup is rich and creamy, and for me evokes childhood memories.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Food Tip:\u00a0Dutch Foraging Website<\/a>
\n“A few months ago, I found this site which shows you where you can forage within the Netherlands. That\u2019s how I found a small street in the middle of Amsterdam where you can pick chestnuts. See my\u00a0Foodstand post<\/a>\u00a0where I’ve roasted them with brown butter and thyme!”<\/p>\n

– Paola<\/span><\/p>\n

Second Place Foodstander: Shannon\u00a0(@shannonvittoria<\/a>)<\/h2>\n

Our favorites of what’s in Shannon’s food: Brussels Sprouts, Lamb,\u00a0Rosemary<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Signature Dish:\u00a0Cranberry Chutney
\n“I discovered this recipe for a savory cranberry sauce\u00a0a few years ago, and it has become a staple of my thanksgiving table. This year, I found fresh cranberries at the 77th street Greenmarket in NYC and combined them with\u00a0sugar, cider vinegar, shallots, ginger, salt, pepper, and orange zest. The best part: the leftovers!”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Food Tip: Simple Ingredients
\n“The Sunday before Thanksgiving, I made my way to the 77th Street Greenmarket\u00a0in search of fall produce. Brussels Sprouts abounded. I did a simple roast: olive oil, salt and pepper, and added a little lemon juice prior to serving.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0– Shannon<\/span><\/p>\n

Third Place Foodstander: Alison (@foodbymars<\/a>)<\/h2>\n

Our favorites of what’s in Alison’s food: Artichokes, Carrots,\u00a0Lentils, Pecans,\u00a0Dates<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Signature Dish:\u00a0Lentil Soup
\n“This soup has been my go-to for years now because it’s quick, easy and super healthy yet flavorful. My mother-in-law taught me how to make it and I’ve since added my own spin on it. I made it this weekend to recover from the enormous Thanksgiving feast!”<\/span><\/p>\n

Food Tip: Shop Seasonally
\n“My tip when shopping for ingredients is to favor what’s in season when looking for produce. Organic can get expensive, so carry a list of the “dirty dozen<\/a>” with you, so you know what’s recommended to be bought organic and what doesn’t need to be. And of course, local or as close to you\u00a0makes a huge difference!”<\/span><\/p>\n

We hope you had a fabulous food holiday.\u00a0We look forward to seeing your Foodstand finds and helping people discover what’s in their food!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
