Any food52 member is welcome to help us test our Editors' Pick candidates, so go call dibs on the recipe you'd like to test in the comments section below! Don't forget to email us your notes (about 100 words) to [email protected] by next Tuesday at 5pm.
We'll collect your comments, decide the official list of Editors' Picks and publish your evaluation in the headnote if the recipe is selected as an Editors' Pick (with credit, of course!). And even if the recipe you test isn't chosen as an Editors' Pick, please feel free to leave your testing notes in the recipe's comments section. Constructive criticism is always encouraged!

Bummer - too late! But am looking forward to the asparagus round. I think I'll be trying some of these yummy cookies and the pork recipes anyway! :)

I think I'm too late to the party as well. But, might I suggest to others to test the finalists and add comments? All four look awesome and I'm sure personal taste tests are in order. We definitely want to send the best forward to do battle. Go food52!
