Family and friends,
"What should I make for dinner?"
Faced with that daily looming question, I've created a brand new website that I'd like to share with you:
http://www.ingredientchallenge.com
This site has been inspired by so many things: my passion for food, that daily looming question, "What should I make for dinner?" and specific memories that I have of food. It's also been inspired by a good friend of mine, named Neil. During my 2 year stint as a teacher in NYC, I rode the train to work most every day with a coworker/teacher friend of mine, Neil. Neil belonged and still does, to a CSA (community supported agriculture) group. He told me that sometimes he would get a new vegetable/fruit that he didn't quite know what to do with. And that he enjoyed the challenge of cooking with something new.
I want to challenge people to step outside of their standard cuisine, and try something new. Every week there will be a new ingredient. Make a dish using the ingredient. Then take a picture, and post both the picture and the recipe. Just by contributing, you could win one of the weekly giveaways. Taste the Challenge!
best,
Monica Gibson
