My view:
Pick a number of challenges... however many. It cant be a stupid amount because it will take forever and also cost is an issue for me. I'm happy to compete over any number of challenges, but it has to be have a defined end.
I think we should both
Post our recipe and method at a pre-determined time,
At a later date both cook the meal/meals.
Any people who want should give their opinions and I would say anyone who wants to go to the effort of cooking the meals themselves can be a "Judge".
That way you compete on:
1 - how easy your recipe is to follow (for anyone who wants to judge)
2 - how good it tastes in the end
3 - how the version we both make looks.
4 - I am happy for an expert to judge how healthy it is (although you have to allow some things arent supposed to be healthy)
If I can get a cheap little camera I will happily video myself cheffing the meals and if I can figure out how, post on Youtube. But its only fair if both me and LE have that. I dont have a lot of spare cash and LE may or may not have a video camera he can get access to. (as you may know from my thread in the Life section...) so this might not be possible for me. But I do have a camera already.
At the end of the day, if we are competing on the level of who can style the best recipe - its a fair competition to be judged by how well other people can make our food and what they make of it when they do.

But if LE wants a more formal process with a defined judging panel, Im happy to go along with that. Just a question on if enough people will want to judge multiple meals.

I think the first challenge should be a three course meal. After 20th I can start anytime and work to any reasonable schedule. I dont think we have to cook/post at the exact same times.
It should go without saying that we both trust each other to post and cook only our own recipes and not copy from a cook book. (not that any cookbook would match me in any case really)
