Recipes

I'm working on the crab cake recipe for the competition coming up next month, and while I've only cooked one batch so far I can tell you that I think I've got a potential winner. I have to come up with the proper measurements, write out a recipe, and tweak it here at home first, plus I'm planning on trying a few different variations come this Wednesday, but if I can get this to work properly then I think everything's going to turn out fantastic.

Now I just have to get the recipe on paper and submit it. Out of however many people enter, they're only picking eight finalists! That's not a very high number, and I'm concerned that my recipe may not sound fantastic on paper, but with a title like "Ooey, Gooey, Goodness," how can I possibly lose?

"Ooey, Gooey Crabby Goodness" just doesn't have the right ring, does it?

Now I want crab cakes!

When I think "crab cakes", I don't want to think "ooey" or "gooey".
That translates to "undercooked".

How about "Fabulously Flaky Crab Cakeys"?

Not sure about the name...when I think of "ooey, gooey, goodness," the first thing that comes to mind is cookies.

What I want in crab cake is really what I don't want: Filler. Give me more crab and just enough other ingredients to hold it together.

I completely agree about crab cakes not needing filler. No worries on that. The crab is the key.

The name definitely needs work. That last bit about the name should probably me marked with a sarcasm tag.
