Sweet Cloves and Liquid Gold

A drizzle of liquid gold takes a dish to new heights, from the simplest of dishes to the most complex.  Olive oil is the very soul of cooking.  Of course, you can't really mention olive oil without, at the same time, mentioning sweet cloves of garlic.  It's as if olive oil and garlic magically combine to create meals that are almost mystical.  Let's not forget the olive, a powerful and central ingredient. This week, steep yourself in these ancient ingredients as you prepare dishes using Sweet Cloves and Liquid Gold.

Make a Diana Henry recipe featuring garlic, olives, and/or olive oil and post it by Sunday, November 23rd. Please remember to link a thumbnail image below, and leave a comment after you link so that we don't miss out on your post.

Stock Your Exotic Pantry!

A well-stocked pantry is one of the keys to successful cooking.  With an IHCC chef as globally influenced as Diana Henry, having a pantry stocked with more exotic ingredients comes in handy.

This week our theme is "Stock Your Exotic Pantry" and we are thinking about things like jams, dressings, sauces, condiments, herb and spice mixes, pickles, and/or preserved items with exotic flavors. 

Make a Diana Henry recipe to Stock Your Exotic Pantry and/or a recipe using an exotic pantry items (or items) and post it by Sunday, November 9th.
