Today we announced our Your Best Ice Cream contest -- it's time to get stirring, mixing, and freezing! And for the contest winner, we have something special planned...

We asked for your haiku, we read veggie burger-themed haiku, and the FOOD52 staff even threw their hats in the ring. Now it's time to declare a winner.

The only problem? You're all amazing! We couldn't pick just one -- and there's no prize, anyway -- so we thought we'd highlight all our favorites. You all blew us away with your eloquent words -- add "poet" to the list along with "home cook"!

We've been amazed and impressed at your poems in this week's Food Haiku Contest -- you're all closet poets! Unrelatedly, several of you have already tried Gena Hamshaw's Zucchini-Quinoa Veggie Burgers and loved them.

The Olympics may be over (and the Summer Food Fights, too) but that somehow our competitive urges still haven't ebbed away. That's why we're announcing the Feed52 Haiku Contest.

We go face to face with Serious Eats for the ultimate three-layer cake -- Clananafouti Swamp Monkey vs Sir Plumple. Bellyaches ensue.

We're doing something a little different with our Your Best Soy recipe contest. Thanks to our friends at the Japanese Culinary Arts Network, we're thrilled to be offering our contest winner a hand-forged Japanese knife from Kikuichi Cutlery.

Big prizes await.
