Do I dare call myself a daring cook? Well, as of next month I will be joining the Daring Cooks. Its a group of bloggers who make one challengeing or intimidating secret recipe each month and blog about it on the same day. It sounds like fun. It sounds like it will challenge me. Other than my total time strapedness, it sounds like a great idea. I'm looking forward to it.
I will, of course, be making all recipes with the following legal to the rules (and I guess slightly quasi legal?) changes:
Religious: I will adapt all recipes to make them kosher (to my standards. you know what that means by now).
Lifestyle: I will adapt them to fit somewhat to my traditional foods lifestyle. If it calls for storebought broth (I'm sure they won't, it is a DARING cooks challenge after all), I will substitute homemade. If it calls for margerine or canola, I'll use butter or chicken fat or coconut oil or olive oil or something TF. If it calls for refined sugar, I'll substitute unrefined (I'm not becoming a daring baker for that reason, too much sugar. some of the past items such as vols au vente may make an appearance here anyways.). I can't think of other changes that will be needed, but I'm sure they will show up. I will make changes suitable so that I will be willing to eat said recipes. Of course, they might not be "optimal" foods, but likely, I'll give some suggustions on how to make them more traditional, if they aren't.
I'm looking forward to this challenge.
On another note, why is it that I always seem to remember tie one on just after an interesting challenge and right as an uninteresting one starts. Mad about Plaid (which just finished) sounds like tons of fun. Peppermint candy? not so much.
