Do you have that cooking talent hidden inside you? Have you ever given it a thought to save the family recipes that your mother used to make for you? Do you want to share the secret recipes of biryani and kebab that have earned you lots of appreciation?
If the answer is yes, then here’s a chance for you? Google is launching the Indian Cooking Knol-edge contest on Knol for finding out the best five recipes in Indian languages. The entire contest is knitted around the newly launched Indic Transliteration, which will help you in typing five Indian languages including Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Telugu by using an English keyboard. For example, if you type a word in Hindi by using English alphabets, it will get converted into Hindi or your preferred language after hitting the space or enter key.
The contest will be judged by Master Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, a well recognized personality and host of one of the longest running TV shows Khana Khazana. Knol, a powerful tool that enables user to share knowledge in a more organized manner and also highlights their authorship of the content is the best platform for running the content. The need to share the knowledge of millions of people on web led to the development of knol tool. Further, the launch of Indic Transliteration on this tool has enabled many users to share quality content in five different Indian languages.
By bringing Sanjeev Kapoor and Knol together in the contest, Google is offering unique and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to millions of expert cooks to showcase their culinary talent to the world. This is not all. The winners would get prizes worth $150 and first 40 shortlisted entrants will get Google goodies.
