Dear Yotam Ottolenghi,
What a incredible six months it has been cooking along with you!
- You brought vegetables from the sidelines to the center of our plates...
- You introduced exotic ingredients like harissa, sumac, za'atar, and labneh into our world...
- You showed us the beauty in a perfectly "burnt" eggplant and had us drooling over your cookbook photos...
- You got us to cook with unique and delicious flavor combinations...
- You made salads sexy...
- You challenged us and made us grow... (I mean sure, occasionally we grumbled a bit about the long and unusual ingredient lists and sometimes vague recipe directions, but the end results made it worth the effort!)
- You gave us an amazing amount of wonderful dishes and cooking experiences...
Oh Ottolenghi!
As much as we are looking forward to cooking along with our new IHCC chef Donna Hay, we are truly going to miss cooking with you each week and exploring the world of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Israeli cooking. But, don't be too sad--although we might not see you as quite regularly anymore, we will always have POTLUCK!
Yours Truly,
Your Loving I Heart Cooking Club Friends
