The Pillsbury Bake-Off is a cooking contest, first run by the Pillsbury Company from 1949-1976, and 2013 to 2014 as an annual contest. From 1978-2012 and 2016 on, the contest is held biennially.〔Linda Larson. "(The Pillsbury Bake-Off )."〕 The next contest will be in November 2016, site TBD. ==History== The first contest was held in 1949 as the Grand National Recipe and Baking Contest and hosted in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Until 1994, the grand prize was $50,000.〔"(The First Competition )."〕 Since 1996, the grand prize has been $1,000,000. The only required ingredient in the early contests was Pillsbury's BEST Flour.〔"(The 1950s )."〕 There was no contest in 1965 because the contest was moved from October to February.〔"(The 1960s )."〕 Occasionally, there has been a male category (1978, 1990, 1992, and 2002). The only male champion was Kurt Wait of Redwood City, California, who won in 1996; that year, 14 of the 100 finalists were men. The contest had reverted back to an annual contest in 2013 and 2014, after the previous 18 contests were held on the even-numbered years. It goes back to a biennial contest in 2016. In 2014, the contest added eight additional "Sponsor Awards" for a prize of $5,000 each.〔"(Special Sponsor Award )."〕 Categories and winners included:〔"(Sponsor Award Winners )."〕 GE Imagination At Work Award: won by MaryJo Watkins of Scottsdale, Arizona - Muffuletta Mini Pies Jif® Peanut Butter Award: won by Brenda Watts of Gaffney, South Carolina - Macaroon-Peanut Butter-Chocolate Tartlets Crisco is Cooking™ Award: won by Greg Fontenot of The Woodlands, Texas - Grilled Potato and Roasted Salsa Verde Pizza Eagle Brand® Signature Recipe Award: won by Barbara Estabrook of Rhinelander, Wisconsin - Peanut and Pretzel-Peanut Butter Thumbprints Pillsbury® Gluten Free Award: won by Merry Graham of Newhall, California - Herbs and Seeds Parmesan Crackers Pillsbury® Clever Twist Award: won by Marie Valdes of Brandon, Florida - Spinach Dip-Stuffed Garlic Rolls Watkins™ Vanilla Award: won by Antoinette Leal of Ridgefield, Connecticut - Very Vanilla Lemon Tarts Reynolds® Baking Magic Award: won by Elizabeth Bennett of Seattle, Washington - Chocolate-Peanut Butter-Filled Pretzels 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pillsbury Bake-Off」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
