If you are new to the event you may be wondering what all of the fuss is about. Pick A Chef is an exciting way to discover new chefs, recipes, and an opportunity to get to know other chefs in our community. And it’s truly a fun event. When you "adopt" a chef, you are agreeing to make & review at least three of his/her recipes before the event deadline. You make the recipes & submit your reviews any time before the deadline. There are a few rules on how the selections work, but PAC is very easy to play. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have here or zmail any PAC host. We will be more than happy to help you!

We do need your help to get started. The first few days of adoptions are crazy busy and signing up in advance makes it easier for everyone. It also lets us provide active links for each chef in our Adoption Center. Signing up does not obligate you in any way at this point.


Look at your About Me Page & the criteria below.
Decide which of the following category you fall into. (If you need help just ask. )

PAC Spring Player Definitions:
We look at three things to sort players. 1) The date the member joined, 2) the number of recipes they have posted, and/ or 3) the number of ratings on those recipes.

Preemie: Has 4 or fewer posted recipes and 25 or fewer ratings on those recipes. The date they joined does not matter. Preemie chefs will be featured in our Preemie Care Center which will open the second week of the event .
Newbie: Joined during 2012 or 2013. Newbies have a minimum of 5 recipes posted. The number of ratings on those recipes does not matter.
Undiscovered Chefs: Joined before 2012, have a minimum of 5 recipes posted with 25 or fewer ratings on those posted recipes.
Newbies and undiscovered chefs are automatically added to the list on opening day.
Seasoned Chefs: Joined before 2012. Has a minimum of 5 recipes posted and has 26 or more ratings on their posted recipes. Seasoned chefs are added after they adopt a newbie or undiscovered chef.

Please post your info as follows:
chef #(no space)131126 (space) #131126 /PAC category / number of recipes

My post would look like this:
Susie D #131126 seasoned chef/ 57 recipes
(You will using your member number often so keep it nearby.)



The Adoption Center is designed to make it easier to see the status of chefs when PAC opens on March 16th.
On opening weekend patience is required in the mad adoption stampede!
If you are new to Pick A Chef you might prefer to watch a bit on opening morning before jumping in. It truly is a race for babies and lots of fun!
Never fear, we never run out of chefs for you to consider. Your PAC hosts have lists & lists of members eligible for adoption.
>>New this year....... We are encouraging all adoptions be of those who have participated on site in some manner during the last year. This might be by posting a recipe, photo, review, or even posting in the forums. <<

Let's get ready to play Pick A Chef!

Hi Susie. I thought I was heading to bed before, but started reading about this game... and here I am!

I want someone to "adopt" me, but I've only posted 2 recipes so far, and they were for contests. I have many other original recipes that I can post (once I figure that part out). I don't want to be a "Preemie", I'd rather be a "Newbie". I have until the 9th to add my recipes, right?

I became a member 1 year ago, but have been using Food.com for years.

Blah, blah, blah... I tend to ramble a bit, Sorry.

Goodnight (or should I say "morning") all. Thanks for the fun & games.

Good Morning Rosie

You are currently a Preemie. That status can change with the addition of more recipes. PAC play starts in one week so there is plenty of time.

Welcome to PAC, Spring 2013
