SECAUCUS, NJ (October 2010)—Get ready to dive into your recipe rolodex and kitchen for the
launch of the 5th Annual Man-O-Manischewitz Cook-Off. The nationally esteemed cooking contest will
feature entrants as they prepare family-friendly recipes incorporating the new Manischewitz All-Natural
broths. The competition encourages home chefs to experiment with Kosher products while preparing
delicious recipes that could become a new family favorite or that have been shared from generation to
generation. Perhaps these recipes can be inspired by traditional Jewish fare or a cherished memory of a
favorite family meal. The competition is designed to showcase the benefits of using Kosher products as
part of the home cooking experience and to think about preparing traditional Jewish foods in the same
way people enjoy preparing Japanese, Italian, Mexican, Chinese and other popular ethnic cuisines. More
than 10,000 people of different backgrounds and ages have entered this competition over the past four
years.

Finalists will compete live in New York City, for the $25,000 Grand Prize, in front of an esteemed panel
of judges consisting of food media and other culinary experts. The grand prize package includes GE
Profile kitchen appliances, cash and more! Recipes must include one of the Manischewitz All-Natural
broth flavors including the new All-Natural Vegetable broth which joins the existing line of beef,
chicken and reduced sodium chicken flavors. Five finalists will win an all-expense paid trip to NYC
to compete live on March 31h at the Jewish Community Center of Manhattan. The contest deadline is
December 31, 2010. Four finalists will be chosen by the judging panel and five other semi-finalists
will be posted on www.manischewitz.com. From January 17th – 31st, consumers will be able to vote
online, and via Facebook and Twitter, to select the fifth finalist. For complete contest details, log onto

For the second consecutive year, the legendary chef Jacques Pépin will be the celebrity guest of
