 Potluck! One of our favorite themes here at IHCC!

Maybe you want to make something to celebrate the holidays? Or, could be that you have a craving that needs satisfying. Or perhaps you feel like checking off one of the recipes on your "to-make" list.  Whatever the case, there is sure to be a recipe just begging to be made!

Monthly Featured Chef: Giada DeLaurentis

We fell in love with her years ago when she brought us Everyday Italian. We filled our pasta bowls with countless pasta recipes in her Everyday Pasta, and our families sung praises when we cooked from Giada's Family Dinners. She is Giada Delaurentiis, wildly popular Food Network superstar and author of eight bestselling cookbooks!

Nowadays Giada is known, not only for her Italian recipes, but also for her fresh California-style recipes and also her healthy recipes and lifestyle. Her latest book, Happy Cooking, just hit the shelves last month.

No doubt we will be Happy Cooking the recipes of Giada Delaurentiis this week! Please make and post your dish by Sunday, December 13th! Feel free to share your favorite Giada recipes in your post.

Nibbles & Noshes

It's the time of year for gatherings and celebrations of all sorts--the perfect time for nibbling and noshing with friends and family. It's all the better if some of those Nibbles and Noshes are healthier options. So this week, make any Ellie Krieger recipe for appetizers or small plate dishes suitable for sharing. There are plenty of recipes to choose from, dips to small bites, elegant to casual... whatever suits your style and occasion.

Monthly Featured Chef Event: Mark Bittman

Mark Bittman, also known as The Minimalist, is a prolific cookbook author and columnist for the New York Times. He taught us "How To Cook Everything" with his pure and simple minimalistic approach. Nowadays he is teaching us about the benefits of conscious eating to improve both our own health and that of the world around us. 

Many of Bittman's recipes are a guideline, or jumping off point, giving the cook full creativity to chose from several variations and flavor profiles. In doing so, he not only teaches us how to cook; but, also how to customize our dishes and make them our own. One of the most valuable lessons in cooking.

Please make and post your Mark Bittman dish by Sunday, November 15th! Don't hesitate to tell us why you love Mark Bittman so. Feel free to share your favorite Bittman pic, Bittman quote, and/or share with us your favorite Bittman recipes. Please remember to link a thumbnail image and leave a comment after linking so we don't miss out on your dish.
