<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Do you wish to cook or bake like a celebrity chef?</b></span><br />
<br />
I do! Do you?<br />
<br />
Hi, I'm Zoe from <a href="http://bakeforhappykids.blogspot.com/">Bake for Happy Kids</a>. I wish that I can cook or bake like a celebrity chef one day and wish to learn as many cooking and baking techniques as I could. I reckon...to be able to cook like a star, I have to learn to cook or bake with lots of recipes published by various celebrity chefs and would love to invite you to cook or bake with me just like we are celebrity chefs. LOL!<br />
<br />
For this reason, I'm organising a cooking/baking event called, Cook like a Star. For a specific month or two, I will nominate a specific celebrity chef to be star-struck for this event. Based on the nominated chef, my two friends and I will cook or bake one or more of the nominated chef's recipes and hope that you will do the same and link your post with us.<br />
<br />
If you share the same cooking wish like me, please cook or bake with me. I think this will be a great cooking and learning opportunity for us. Who knows that we might be a celebrity chef one day? *wink*<br />
<br />
<b>Update on 30 June 2014 - Due to the decreasing number of participation, I have decided to stop organising Cook like a Star events. Our last event will be Bobby Flay's event held for the whole month of November 2014.</b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What should you do to participate Cook like a Star?</span></span></b><br />
<br />
There is NO members' list, just join in whenever you can. Please feel free to display "Cook Like a Star" badge on your blog if you wish to join us. This event is opened for everyone.</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</div>
There is NO limitation on how many times you can cook or bake for this event. You can cook or bake as many times as you like as long as the recipes that you used are published by the nominated celebrity chef for the month. This means that multiple submissions of different recipes are allowed. The recipes that you used can be from the nominated chef's cookbooks, magazines or websites. In fact, everyone can cook exactly the same thing as there is NO limitation for doing that.<br />
<br />
You can even submit your same blog post to any other blog events but you have to make sure that you check the rules of the other events.<br />
