Time to share your best recipe with friends and colleagues at UB-and win a prize, too. Send us your favorite holiday recipe, the one that everybody raves about. You could have it published in the Reporter and win a handsome coffee table cook book!

Our annual recipe contest is under way. The rules are simple:

It's open to faculty, staff and students. (Contest winners of the past three years are not eligible.) The recipe (one to a contestant) should be typed in cook book style with ingredients first, directions following.

Put your name, address, department, your UB title and phone number at the top of the page. We'll judge your recipe for taste appeal, ease of preparation and originality.

If there's a brief "story" about the recipe-how you created it, what kind of traditions it represents, how many years you've served it to rave reviews, etc., include that, too.

Mail or fax to:

Reporter Recipe Contest, 136 Crofts, University at Buffalo, 14260. Or e-mail to reporter@pub.buffalo.edu

Deadline for receipt of entries is Nov. 22.
