And The Winner Is....

Sweet Potato & Rosemary Pizza

What is this pizza, other than piquant provolone balanced with bold flavors of rosemary and nutmeg and topped with divinely caramelized sweet potatoes? It is a masterpiece of simplicity. It is a symphony of flavors that sing to the palate. It is all this and it is the $1000 Grand Prize winner in the Short 'n Sassy recipe contest. Slashfood had the enviable task of tasting all of the recipes as part of the judging team. I am sure the final decision was a tough one, with so many unique options.
