Each month we choose a variety of ten mystery box ingredients from which to cook.  It's up to you to select at least three of those ingredients and chose a recipe featuring those ingredients from one of our twelve IHCC chefs!  We love to see which chef you chose to cook with, which ingredients you select, and the reason (or story) behind the recipe you share! Are you ready for April's challenge?

Here are your April 2015 MBM Ingredients:

Scallops
Tarragon

Sour Cream

Walnuts

Capers

Asparagus

White Beans

Gruyere

Yeast

Rice

Your dish should contain at least three of these mystery ingredients, and you get to choose any dish from our current guest chef, Jacques Pepin, or any one of our previous eleven IHCC chefs:

Nigella Lawson
  Mark Bittman
 Giada de Laurentiis
  Jamie Oliver

Bonjour Jacques Pépin! Welcome to IHCC!

Are you ready to get your French on?!

With over six decades of cooking classic French recipes, American favorites, and tempting dishes from all over the world, Chef Jacques Pépin has over twenty cookbooks and countless recipes, tips and cooking techniques, as well as a wide body of online recipes. We are excited to cook along with him for the next six months--starting this week and lasting through October 4, 2015.

To welcome him to I Heart Cooking Clubs, we are saying,

 Bonjour Jacques Pépin!

This week, make any of Chef Pépin's recipes from one of his cookbooks or online. You can choose how you will welcome him. Something sweet, a classic French dish, a cocktail or a plate of hors-d'oeuvres? Maybe it is a quick and easy family favorite, or one of his mother's recipes? It's up to you!

However you decide to say bonjour, make, post, and link your Jacques Pépin dish up below by Sunday, April 12th. Link your thumbnail image and please remember to leave a comment after you link so that we don't miss out on your dish. 

New to IHCC? We are happy to have you join us! Need help linking up? Check out our Welcome page. If you have any further questions please leave a comment below and we will get back with you.
