Which Sandwich?

Some people think you can slap anything between two pieces of bread, but not us! There really is an art to making a delicious sandwich. There are so many things to consider: the type of bread, the textures, the fillings, the sauces.

You can even have a sweet dessert-type sandwich! So tell us...

June's Needs Must Cooking Continues...

Due to the coronavirus and these trying times, we are continuing our Needs Must open cooking theme throughout June. We feel it is very important that we continue to cook and celebrate our shared passion for cooking. We realize that some ingredients are still hard to come by and in an effort to continue our shared passion, but keep things as easy as possible, we will be borrowing an idea from our British chefs, called Needs Must (necessity compels).

Note: Next week we will be resuming our weekly themes for July. We are keeping the themes loose, and you can continue to cook from our current featured chef Julia Child and/or any of our other 19 featured chefs and adjust ingredients as needed as long as the base recipe is from and credited to one of our 20 chefs. July themes are on the sidebar.

Make and post your Needs Must recipe by Sunday, June 28th. Please link a picture of your recipe below, and leave a comment after.

More June Needs Must Cooking...

Due to the coronavirus and these trying times, we are continuing our Needs Must open cooking theme throughout most of June. We feel it is very important that we continue to cook and celebrate our shared passion for cooking. We realize that some ingredients are still hard to come by and in an effort to continue our shared passion, but keep things as easy as possible, we will be borrowing an idea from our British chefs, called Needs Must (necessity compels). You will see this theme throughout June and then we will hopefully resume our regular themes by July.

Our only guideline will be to use a base recipe (making changes if needed) from one of our 20 chefs, including our new chef, Julia Child. We hope you will join us in an effort to keep our passion alive, cooking our Needs Must dishes. Please stay safe and take good care!

Make and post your Needs Must recipe by Sunday, June 14th. Please link a picture of your recipe below, and leave a comment after.

Need Must Cooking Continues...

Due to the coronavirus and these trying times, we are continuing our Needs Must open cooking theme into May. We feel it is very important that we continue to cook and celebrate our shared passion for cooking. We realize that ingredients are hard to come by and in an effort to continue our shared passion, but keep things as easy as possible, we will be borrowing an idea from our British chefs, called Needs Must (necessity compels). You will see this theme throughout April and May.

Here at I Heart Cooking Clubs, we will do whatever we NEED to do to keep cooking. No, this does not mean putting yourself in harm's way to obtain ingredients. Instead, this is a call to use what we have at home or what we can come by safely. We will use what we MUST keep putting dishes on the table. In doing so, our hope is we can share tips and ideas to help each other through these times!

Make and post your Needs Must recipe by Sunday, May 31st. Please link a picture of your recipe below, and leave a comment after.

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.
