Real Maine is proud to be a sponsor of Maine Public’s Dash of Maine Holiday Cooking Challenge. For six weeks starting on November 6, Maine Public will feature one special bicentennial recipe and a helpful cooking tips video featuring staff from Real Maine and from Southern Maine Community College to help you along! By the following Friday at NOON, you will need to send in a picture of the completed dish you created. This gives you a whole week to secure the necessary ingredients and make the recipe!
