You don't realise the numer of times I've burnt myself while attempting to cook while drunk
I can come up with some sort of recipe, but I doubt I'll be have time to cook it myself if that counts?

Try, go on, you have to eat every night after all

Cook that for your dinner instead of whatever else you'd have?

I would love to really, but the next few days are going to be spent catching up with family and friends from home that I haven't seen in ages. Dinnertimes will likely be spent at the pub!
If we get a second competition then I'll definitely be up for that one though, will give me a chance to flex my culinary muscles

Do you not need to eat the food on offer to judge a cooking competition?

As has been said, the top three will be made by the judges for logistical reasons.

originality, creativity, difficulty and presentation

Will create a short list of 3 recipes. which the judges will then cook and taste.

But each will be eating there own version of the recreation, it just seems bizarre to me!

following the recipe submitted. IT's a fun thing to do and no it wont be exact. But not any other way of doing it over the internet.

Why is it bizzar. Most people follow recipes from books/web.

Because you are "judging" without actually eating it!
