Something to Eat on the Sofa!

Whether you are a confirmed couch potato or not, sometimes it's nice to relax, move away from the table and lounge a bit on the sofa. Maybe you turn on the television, put on a movie you have been wanting to see, or maybe just sit and relax... regardless, it's nice to have a bit of sustenance to keep you company.

So this week, we are making...
Something to Eat on the Sofa!
Curtis Stone dishes perfect to nosh on while lounging about, in a bowl, on a plate, finger foods, a beverage--it's up to you.

G'day Curtis! (We Are Cooking with Curtis Stone at IHCC!)

G'day Curtis!

Was it really ten years ago that The Take-Home Chef debuted and we started freshening our make-up and putting on real pants before we went to the grocery store in hopes that hot Aussie chef Curtis Stone would stumble upon us and come home and cook a meal in our kitchen? (Or was that just me?!?!) ;-)

Those 10 years have been kind to Curtis with new cookbooks, a family, a successful restaurant, and appearances all over the television and social media. Here at IHCC, we are excited that Curtis Stone is our current featured chef and we look forward to cooking along with him and his philosophy of using the best, freshest local and seasonal ingredients that you can find and turning them into simple and delicious dishes. 

This week we are saying, G'day Curtis! It's your chance to make any Curtis Stone recipe from online or one of his cookbooks to welcome him to IHCC.

Make your welcome dish, post it and link it up below by Sunday, April 10th.
