Cooking can be fun, and it can also be competitive.

Back up to the fun: I was surprised to see more than 30 people at Saturday morning’s cooking class at Abbott’s Grill.

Talking with Laura Burton, the restaurant’s manager, I learned the cooking classes are always a draw.

I didn’t have time to stop and see what Chef Ryan Cunningham was doing because I had to cover another event, but everyone was attentively watching him create some mother sauces.

Segue into the contests: the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Milford sent out a call for entries to this year’s Chili Cooking Contest at the Heritage at Milford.

It’s only fair to state that Ryan is the defending champion in the chef’s category, and Steve Monz took the blue ribbon in the Wanna-be competition last year.

Entrants must call the chamber office at 422-3344 by Feb. 29 to participate. You can also email milford@milfordchamber.com.
