I Heart Cooking Clubs: Out of Italy

This week we are exploring Giada's recipes - Out of Italy!

Yep, Giada has been known to play with other cuisines and we are taking a trip with her.... in our kitchens.

Shall we go to Spain? England? France? America? Mexico? or maybe the Far East?

Get out your passports because this week we are Out of Italy!

Find a great Giada recipe that is not Italian this week - cook it up and share it with us on or by November 7th. Hook it up with Mr. Linky, below, so we can all travel with you!

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.
