The Idea:
Win money with your kitchen creations.
How it Works:
Cooking contests offer big money for people who like to spend their time inventing things in the kitchen. Prizes range from the cost of the ingredients to thousands of dollars and some contests even go so far as to fly you to their cook-off finals where you meet and compete against contestants from around the country. Creativity matters in these types of contests, and if you can come up with something both tasty and unique, you might be the next big winner.
How Much Can You Make:
There are hundreds of small contests with prize money ranging from a gift basket to a few hundred dollars. If you make it to the major cook-off level contests, expect to win $50,000- $1,000,000 and the fun of seeing yourself in product ads and newspaper articles.
