His post is worth reading - just copy the url. WOW. That is all I can say because that meal is certainly not one I could put together. WOW. Well deserved win!

i can't find the recipe either on this site. i mean who is ever going to cook this anyway, but maybe i'm just jealous ;) i can't find the recipe unless i go to his blog.... not that i will ever "miso cure egg yolks that have been cooked for one hour"....but it seems like others have been frustrated at finding recipes too. here's the link to his blog post about this recipe, not there is really a recipe, per se, but a post you will have to turn into a recipe yourself (http://www.acookblog.com...).

I wish I had participated in this year of charcuterie, but I am SO glad I didn't try to enter this contest! No way I could have exceeded the creativity and breadth of Peter's dinner. I am suitably wowed. Are you sure you aren't a restaurant chef? What an impressive (and I'm certain tasty) menu. I want to try that egg dish! and thank you for a delicious read, as well! Bon chance!
