It is time for Pick a Chef!
So what is it? Pick a Chef is a cookathon designed to welcome the many newer chefs and those chefs who have so far been undiscovered.
After reading the rules & details, please go to the Pick A Chef Adoption Center =) to help you make your selections. Then RETURN to this thread to post your chef choice.
Pick A Chef is a chance to discover new chefs and “get to know” other chefs on Zaar.
By adopting a chef, you are agreeing to make & review at least 3 of his or her recipes by Oct 29th. You can make the recipes & submit your reviews at any time before that deadline. All reviews are to be posted by
Oct 29th
How to Play:
First determine which of the 3 categories you fit into:
Newbies: Joined anytime in 2006.
Undiscovered Chefs: Joined before 2006 and have less than 25 reviews on their recipes.
Seasoned Chefs: If you have more than 25 reviewed recipes already and joined prior to 2006, you are a
"Seasoned Chef."
Newbies & Undiscovered Chefs:
If you are
Newbie or an
Undiscovered Chef, post a reply to this thread asking to get your name added to the Pick Me List.
Please state whether you are a newbie or undiscovered chef.
What I need from you:
(in this order)
*your chef number
*your chef name
*the category of chef you fall into for this game
Newbies & UCs do
not have to adopt anyone else in return (but you may). If you do choose to adopt a chef, you can choose
anyone from either list in the Adoption Center who hasn't already been adopted.
Seasoned Chefs:
Any
"Seasoned Chef" who adopts a Newbie will automatically be added to the second "pick me" list (unless you request not to be added). Seasoned Chefs, please pick from the Newbie/Undiscovered Chef list only first. If you would like to adopt an additional chef, you may do so from either list. There is no limit to how many chefs anyone may adopt, but each chef's name will only be added to the list once.
By adopting a chef, you are agreeing to make & review at least 3 of his or her recipes by Oct 29th. You can make the recipes & submit your reviews at any time before that deadline.
After selecting your chef, please come back and post your selections in this thread. Copying the word recipe and the recipe # creates an automatic link to the recipe. Please add the recipe number again without the # to make it easier for us to copy/ paste the info to the lists below. (Hidden links are pretty, but they require us to open each post.) Each post should look like this: Recipe When you complete your review on a recipe, please post in this thread also.
Pick A Chef FAQ
I already have a chef in mind, but his/her name isn't on the list. Can I pick a chef who isn't on the "pick me" list yet? How?
Yes, but please use the same guidelines (Newbies & Undiscovered Chefs may pick anyone, Seasoned Chefs please pick a Newbie/UC first). A great way to "find" more Newbies & UCs is to check out the top 40 newest members list on the home page and also in the ABC chefs directory or visit the Newbies forum. Paging through today’s recipes and reviews should also give you some chefs to select from.
Only seasoned chefs who adopted a newbie/ undiscovered chef are eligible for adoption.
How long do I have to sign up?
You may sign up and/or "pick" a chef anytime from now through the review deadline (Oct 29th). Once you have selected a chef (and yes, you may select more than 1), you prepare their recipes any time before the end of the event, at your convenience.
Are there any restrictions on the recipes I choose?
You may choose either recipes with or without reviews, as long as you were not the previous reviewer. Just remember to have your reviews submitted by the last day of the event (Oct 29th ). You may submit your reviews early, if your prefer.
How many chefs can I adopt?
You can adopt as many chefs as you can honestly prepare three recipes each for before the deadline. Some PAC players adopt one, some adopt many. It is entirely up to you and your schedule. All reviews are due by the Oct 29th deadline.
How will I know my tag is valid?
Once you see it on page 1 of this thread or you are acknowledged here the tag is valid. We try to keep the Adoption Center as up to date as possible, but we do have to sleep sometime. LOL You may have to scroll back a few pages, but only as far a the last post that states page 1 is current.
So let’s get started with Pick A Chef!
