How do you go from need to passion in the kitchen? Online cookery groups: How I learned to spice up my supper (The Independent, July 14) suggests there is a bit to it like from going on a date to getting in a committed relationship.
The piece showcases Christina McDermott as one example of a passionate Daring Kitchen member.
The basic rules as shared in The Independent article are:
"On the
17th
of every month, its members – known as Daring Cooks and Daring Bakers –
have
access to a forum on the site where a challenge containing one new recipe
is
posted by an alternating host (who is usually a fellow food blogger or
food
writer). Each member then creates the recipe, records the process and
posts
their results on their respective blogs on the same date. Recipes
range from
the seemingly simple (like risotto and meze platters) to the deviously
difficult (such as gingerbread houses and the rather exotic-sounding
dobos
torta – a Hungarian speciality)."
Members must participate in 8 out of 12 yearly challenges.
