Stock Your Exotic Pantry!

A well-stocked pantry is one of the keys to successful cooking. With an IHCC chef as globally influenced as Diana Henry, having a pantry stocked with more exotic ingredients comes in handy.

This week our theme is "Stock Your Exotic Pantry" and we are thinking about things like jams, dressings, sauces, condiments, herb and spice mixes, pickles, and/or preserved items with exotic flavors.

Make a Diana Henry recipe to Stock Your Exotic Pantry and/or a recipe using an exotic pantry items (or items) and post it by Sunday, November 9th.

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.
