October Pot Luck!

Oh, yes ... we all love a Potluck around here!
Pot Luck Badge

And, what's not to love, when Potluck means not only do you get to choose the recipe, but you also get to choose the chef.

That's right, choose any Diana Henry recipe you like, or if you prefer take the opportunity to revisit any one of our previous nine IHCC chefs:

Nigella Lawson
Mark Bittman
Giada de Laurentiis
Jamie Oliver
Tessa Kiros
Rick Bayless
Madjur Jaffrey
Yotam Ottolenghi
Donna Hay
Nigel Slater

That makes for a veritable smorgasbord of English, American, Italian, Mediterranean, Mexican, Indian, Middle Eastern and "modern Australian" recipes to choose from.

To join in just post and link your October Potluck dish from any one of our IHCC chefs by Sunday 26 October.  Please remember to link a thumbnail image and leave a comment after you link so that we don't miss out on your dish.

In other news ...
Starting next month we will be introducing a new theme, on a regular basis - a monthly Mystery Box Madness Challenge.  Each month you will be presented with a new mystery box of special ingredients.  Your challenge, should you decide to accept it, will be to post any dish you like from any one of our IHCC chefs as long as your dish contains at least three ingredients from the mystery box.  Sounds like fun, doesn't it?!  We know some of you like to plan ahead for challenges, so mystery box ingredients for the forthcoming month will be posted in the side bar along with upcoming themes.  Be watching soon to see what ingredients we will be cooking with in November.

Icy Cold!

Diana Henry has lots of great recipes for cold dishes, both sweet and savory. We thought it might be fun to make some of these Icy Cold frozen items, beverages, soups and other chilled dishes.

Welcome Diana Henry!


This week we Welcome Diana Henry to I Heart Cooking Clubs!

For the next six months we are going to be celebrating the recipes of Diana Henry.  Diana was raised in Northern Ireland and started cooking when she was just six years old. Like many of us, her love of cooking has been a constant in her life.  Diana has explored food while traveling, both in and out of her kitchen.  Diana has authored several cookbooks, writes a column for The Telegraph, and has her own website.  The next six months are going to be a tasty adventure!

Are you ready to get in the kitchen with Diana Henry? 

Choose any Diana Henry recipe to welcome in our new chef.  Make and post your dish by Sunday, October 12th. Please remember to link a thumbnail image below, and leave a comment after you link so that we don't miss out on your post.
