2020 Monthly Food Trends Challenge: Zero Food Waste!

Since it's 2020, we are changing up our monthly challenge to celebrate the expected food trends of the decade.

Each month we'll be exploring one Food Trend of 2020. January's trend is...

Zero Food Waste!

Americans waste about 150,000 pounds of food each day! Be part of the solution and on trend by making a dish featuring or including those lingering ingredients in your fridge or pantry or buying those near-expiration or not-perfect lingering ingredients at your local market!

Make and post your Zero Food Waste dish by Sunday, January 12th. Please link a picture of your recipe below, and leave a comment after so we know we got your entry.

New Cooking Theme: Monthly Food Trend Challenge!

We are also introducing a new cooking theme: Monthly Food Trend Challenge

Monthly Food Trend Challenge will be brand new in 2020. This challenge will replace 2019's Cuisine Spotlight. The Monthly Food Trend Challenge will highlight current food trends, such as: the zero waste movement, plant-based foods, cooking and shopping locally, sustainable fish and seafood, new and/or "hot" ingredients, milk alternatives, etc.

If you have a food trend you'd like us to feature please leave us a comment! We'd love to hear your feedback. Also, if you have any ideas for themes in general let us know. We are always up for new ideas!

Welcome!

Welcome to I ♥ Cooking Clubs. This is a stress-free cooking club with a revolving roster of chefs. We feature two different chefs (or cooks) a year and cook their recipes based on our weekly themes--found on the sidebar.

From April 1st, 2019 thru April 2020 we are hosting a special 10 Year Anniversary Celebration called All Chef's Edition! We will be taking it back and reflecting on all 19 chefs we have cooked with during our 10 years at IHCC! Participants will have a choice of which chef and which recipe they want to make for each theme. The possibilities are endless, and exciting!

This cooking club aims to grow and change with its members and explore other cooks and books in the future.

Click here for more...

You Choose the Recipes!

In the interest of freedom of choice and to maximize the fun, we have organized this cooking club on themes. How you interpret the theme is up to you. If you feel that you would like nothing better than a three-pound bison burger, with all the fixin's, on a spa day.. nobody will challenge you on it!

Once the theme is announced, feel free to peruse our current chef's recipes from cookbooks or online, to find one that you think suits the theme and your tastes. Have fun with the recipe, change what you like, and link into that week's post.

Have some great ideas for themes? We love to hear your ideas! Feel free to email any of the hosts or leave your ideas in the comments section.
