Blog Update

Hi All - Shout out to The Brun one of the biggest fans of our cooking. There are a few things we would like to update you on, including: remaining days left in the challenge, recipes we need you to make for us, cooking and sustainability, Top Chef Challenge.

Taking into Account that there was a typo when creating the name of the blog (350 to 365 days), yes the challenge is still on with 16 days to go.
The end is in sight -Jan 17- with a successful being possible. There are 16 remaining main courses in the Winter section of the book. Lets see how much eating we can do.

Did you want to help us out with completing the challenge. Can you make one dessert for the blog and send the picture to us? If it is after Jan 17th and you are reading this than you already know the outcome of the challenge. We don't do well with baking and have only baked 2 of the desserts and there are 18 more to go.

Do you like Cranberry Upside-Down Cake, Molten Chocolate Cakes, Cantaloupe with Honey & Lime or Strawberry Shortcakes? Well grab your copy of the book get baking, eating and don't forget to send us a picture via email. We could try to do this on our own, but if you like to bake, everyone knows that newlyweds need support in the beginning.

A word on food sustainability, further to the post with Quinoa, the new cookbook has inspired me to start making meat and egg free dishes one day of the week. There will not be a blog for this, so call and I will keep you posted. If you like to cook and want start cooking sustainably, some easy changes are to start out small by buying food with less packaging (reduce), going local for ingredients, cutting down on meat intake and re-using travel mugs and shopping bags. Have fun cooking!

Top Chef III is happening in the new year. To accommodate the large number of contestants we have decided to host the every growing event in the Real Canadian Superstore Cooking School kitchen. The Victoria Park Market location is ideal. Let us know if you are interested in cooking or being a judge. Date and time TBA. There will be a minimal contest entrance fee to cover the cost of the room. Start your cooking engines and tastebuds.
