Recipe Collection From 37 Cooks

Venturing into uncharted territory, the blogger group 37 Cooks took us on as their first sponsor for a recipe challenge! We were amazed by their enthusiasm and loved the recipes they created with our ingredients.

Each of the bloggers received a box with samples of dill pollen, saffron threads, Tahitian vanilla beans, a dried mushroom variety, and a dried chile variety. The bloggers created 97 different recipes altogether! You can check out the entire list of recipes here.

97 is a pretty huge number, so we compiled the list of 12 of our favorite original recipes below. These recipes are unique and we love the way the bloggers used our ingredients.

Feel free to leave a comment on this post and let us know which recipe is your favorite…we’re going to send the blogger with the most comment-love an extra goodie box to play with!

    Linda Mire says:

    I’m so excited Katie and I was really honored to be on the top 12 list. Julie Kozarsky’s dish was also amazing and she almost beat me with all the great comments her dish got. Kudos to the other cooks who made the top 12 list. I love Marx Foods and I so enjoyed cooking with all the wonderful things that you sent to us. It was my first time to cook with saffron and the cornbread is now a big favorite. I also loved the dill pollen! Again, thank you so much! Marx’s food is the best. P.S. Can’t wait to receive another package from you. Yippee!

    Linda Mire says:

    Katie: Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know I got my package. I love all the products that you sent and I’m looking forward to creating some new dishes. I absolutely love the smell of the fennel pollen! We have had limas many times, but never Christmas limas, so I’m looking forward to using those. The Organic Millet Seed is also something I’ve never used. I have been reading all the helpful tips on your website to get some good ideas on how to use everything. Again, thank you so much!
