Annoucement: April Themes are up on the sidebar!

List of All Twenty-Eight I Heart Cooking Clubs Chefs!

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.
