Magnum, the original, indulgent ice cream is offering one lucky OK! reader a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet Eva Longoria, the new face of Magnum at a luxury villa in Cannes and show off their A-list culinary skills by creating a special dish for Eva.

Magnum has teamed up with Eva, the glamorous Hollywood star, known for her role as 'Gabrielle' on the hit series 'Desperate Housewives' to encourage the nation to enjoy life’s little indulgences.
Eva will be tempting people to try two new varieties this year Magnum Mini –your favourite Magnum ice cream in a perfect mini size and Mayan Mystica which Eva - being of South American descent - loves, since it is inspired by the ancient Mayans who are believed to have created the first chocolate. The new flavour within the Magnum range is truly heavenly to taste combining chocolate ice cream that is coated with Magnum milk chocolate and blended with the warm notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and honey flavours.

Eva, the embodiment of indulgent living, is staying at the Magnum Manor and needs an entourage with flair and creativity for the duration of her stay to help entertain VIP guests. From the UK, Magnum is looking for someone with dreams of being a chef to join Eva and the team at the Manor, so if you can make indulgent desserts to die for or sumptuous savoury dishes, have a passion for food and dream of rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous you may be just the person they are looking for.

The winner will be flown in style to the Magnum Manor in Cannes to create their own mouth watering and original dish which will meet Eva’s high standards. Eva says “It’s not just indulgence and sensuality that I believe in, quality is also very important in everything I do - particularly the things I eat - which is why I love Magnum, it’s a really quality product with a unique taste – I love it!”.

The winner will stay in a luxury hotel for [two] nights, be given [500 euros] spending money - not that they’ll will want for anything at the Manor – and enjoy a day with Eva and the rest of the entourage.


If you think you have what it takes, tell us in no more than [20] words, what you would make for Eva and why? The 10 most interesting recipes which show passion and creativity for first class dining will be short listed by a panel of independent judges. Entrants will then be interviewed by telephone about their culinary skills and given the chance to expand on why they should be the Magnum Manor chef. All 10 finalists will also receive a year’s supply of Magnum ice cream to enjoy whenever they want a little luxurious indulgence.

The three best candidates will then be invited on an all expenses paid trip to London to cook their dish for the panel. The lucky candidate will have their 15 minutes of fame when we announce the winner in the [next/ xx April issue] of OK! Magazine, photographed along side Eva!

If you are a wannabe chef who would like a taste of the VIP lifestyle tell us what you’d cook for Eva and why? Simply text OKEVA followed by your name and answer to 82100.
