Goodbye, Hugh!

What a delicious six months we have had, cooking along with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and this week is our chance to say Goodbye, Hugh! 

Of course with our Potlucks and Monthly Featured Dish/Ingredient Challenge weeks, it's not goodbye to Hugh forever but on October 2nd, we'll start our six months cooking along with our newest featured chef, Ina Garten, so it's time to make one last dish to thank Hugh for his fabulous recipes. 


You can say Goodbye, Hugh! by making one more Hugh recipe and/or create a roundup of your top favorite Hugh recipes! Make and post your Goodbye, Hugh! dish by Sunday, October 1st. Please remember to link a picture and comment below.

IHCC September 2017 Potluck (for Kim) & Announcements

It's Potluck week and I need to start this post with some sad news. I know many of you have been missing the presence of our wonderful co-host Kim of Stirring the Pot. As she posted on her blog back in July, (here) Kim's mom's cancer came back and the doctors said it was terminal. Kim has been focused on spending time with, and taking care of her mom these last several weeks and sadly this past Friday, her mom passed away. Kim got to be there with her and hold her hand, and she and her family are doing as OK as can be expected. As sad as they are, she is taking comfort that her mom is no longer in all the pain she was in. 

Kim will be back to blogging and back with us here when she's ready. Until then, we will be thinking of you Kim and sending you and your family much love and support.


Since this is Potluck week, I'd like to suggest that we make it a Potluck in honor of Kim and her mom. Kim's mom was her biggest blogging fan and chief taster, so if you'd like to make a recipe or dish to show your support and love, I know she would appreciate it. When I lost my own mom two years ago, Kim did the same for me and it truly meant so much. 

If you'd like to take part, the usual Potluck guidelines apply--you can make any recipe from our current chef (Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall) or any recipe from one of our previous IHCC chefs listed below.


Nigella Lawson  
  Mark Bittman

  Yotam Ottolenghi

***New IHCC Chef Announcement****

Since it's been on the side bar this week, I am assuming that you know that our upcoming IHCC Chef (Starting 10/2/17) is the Barefoot Contessa herself, Ina Garten. We look forward to exploring her tasty recipes.


As usual, the IHCC site will start changing its appearance a bit to reflect our new chef soon and we hope to have the October themes up this week. If you want to get started on your planning, our first theme is always one to welcome in the new chef and so you can start looking for any Ina Garten dish you'd like to make to welcome her to IHCC on October 2nd. 

Thanks for cooking along with us!

Slide Into September! (And Our New Featured Chefs Voting Poll!)

September is here! For many of us, it is the signal to begin the transition into a fall frame of mind, even though we may still be trying to hold on to summer. 

So let's...  Slide Into September!


Make any Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall dish that makes the transition from late summer into fall. Whether that's cooking a comforting soup or stew, using up that last bits of summery produce, or using a mix of what's seasonal and local in your area--however you want to interpret this theme is up to you!

Make and post your Slide Into September recipe by Sunday, September 10th and link a picture up below.
