The
Challenge – To cook at least one meal a day from a cookbook of choice for the month of October. The recipes must be
followed exactly so as to properly test them and the budget must be no more (and hopefully less!) than an ordinary month.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's
right folks, for the month of October I am challenging myself to cook
at least one meal a day using a cookbook! Now while that might not
sound like a challenge for a lot of you, for someone who owns over
1000 cookbooks and rarely cooks from them, this is a challenge for
me! Inspired by the bloggers challenge 'Random Recipes' hosted by Dom
over at the lovely Belleau Kitchen, I have stepped things up a few
notches so that I am not making one recipe a month from a random
book, but rather one a day!
With
that said however, this challenge isn't quite so random as I have
picked out 9 books of choice (fairly randomly and without looking
through them) in order to help with meal planning and shopping. The
final book for the challenge - book number 10, was picked by you - the
readers (through facebook). For those of you that missed it I
selected 5 books from my 'library' and the one with the most votes
was the lucky book to join the challenge, which turned out to be the
Barefoot Contessa at Home by Ina Garten. The other 9 books were
fairly randomly picked - I tried to do a real mix and choose books
that I thought might be fairly familiar to people..... so here they
are the 10 books I will be cooking from in October.....
