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. 

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, June 28th. Please link a picture of your recipe below, and leave a comment after.

***A Note About April Themes***

Due to the coronavirus and these trying times, 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. 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 theme every week in April, with the exception of Julia Child's Welcome Week. 

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 to 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! 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!
