Support a family
We live in a world where the most affordable food is often the most processed and least nutritious. But good food and good health should not be a luxury. Make a donation to help ensure everyone has access to a nutritious meal.
about the $10 Challenge
The $10 Challenge was a two-week virtual competition and movement to show the world it’s possible to cook creative, delicious, and nutritious meals even with limited resources. Talented home cooks and professional chefs created and shared recipes that cost $10 or less and feed four.
These recipes, and many more, will be featured in a cookbook that FEAST families will use to create delicious, affordable, and nutritious meals. We are so grateful for all the recipes we received through the $10 Challenge, but this challenge is about more than sharing beautiful, nutritious, and affordable recipes. It's about supporting families on their journey towards health and wellness and ensuring EVERYONE has access to nutritious food.
Home cook winner prizes: Our Place Home Cook Duo Set, a Material Kitchen The Iconics Set, and an ATELIER SAUCIER Rainbow Denim Napkins (over $600 in prizes!) The winner in our “Professionals” category will receive FEAST’s Golden Spatula.
THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, SUPPORT FEAST FAMILIES BY MAKING A DONATION AND SHOPPING FOR A CAUSE!
Help us raise $60,000, which can provide families 24,000 meals and ongoing support through our wellness programs. Anyone who donates or bids in the auction will receive The $10 Cookbook as a gift of thanks from all of us at FEAST.

How to enter the home cooks category
If you fit into the Professional category, click HERE for instructions on how to enter.
STEP 1: CREATE AND SUBMIT RECIPE
Create an original recipe that feeds four for under $10.
- Must be a main dish (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) - no desserts or snacks.
- To calculate the cost of a recipe:
- If purchasing ingredients, ensure items cost less than $10 at checkout.
- If using ingredients at home, or only using a portion of something (i.e. a cup of flour from a bag), this guide can help you calculate the cost.
- Small amounts (less than 3 tablespoons) of pantry staples like oil, spices, and other seasoning don't count towards your $10.
- Your recipe will be judged based on its: Creativity, Nutritiousness, and Presentation.
Submit your recipe using THIS FORM.
STEP 2: SHARE ON INSTAGRAM
Follow @feast_for_all on Instagram.
Post a photo or video of your dish (or you preparing it) to your Instagram feed.
- Tag @feast_for_all in the photo or video
- Include #10dollarchallenge and #feastforall in the post's caption
