New to IHCC? Need help linking up or a refresher on how to join in the fun? Please check out our WELCOME page. If you have any questions please leave a comment below and one of us will get back with you!

Please note: The inlinkz link is not cooperating with our site and I may need to find another linking partner. In the meantime, if you follow the link it will still allow you to link up. It just won't display on our page.

And now for a really fun announcement....the new IHCC chef starting September 30, 2024 through March 30th is Erin French of The Lost Kitchen! Erin French is an American chef from Freedom, Maine who has become quite popular recently with her show on the Magnolia Network, The Lost Kitchen. Erin's The Lost Kitchen restaurant is a 40-seat restaurant in Freedom, Maine. Erin uses ALL LOCAL products from neighboring communities and highlights farmers, fishermen, artisans, and all kinds of local folks on her show. Erin and her crew make the most amazing dishes and people line up for them! Erin also has a new show, Getting Lost, where she and her husband travel the country meeting other cooks, and chefs, and enjoy local specialties of that area. I highly encourage you to watch both shows...I bet you'll be as hooked as I am.

Erin French has written one memoir titled Finding Freedom: A Cook's Story; Remaking a Life From Scratch. She also has two cookbooks: The Lost Kitchen: Recipes and a Good Life Found in Freedom, Maine: A Cookbook and her second cookbook, Big Heart Little Stove: Bringing Home Meals & Moments from The Lost Kitchen. I highly recommend all the books. I really enjoyed the memoir and I love both cookbooks, but if I had to chose only one, it would be Big Heart Little Stove: Bringing Home Meals & Moments from The Lost Kitchen. The second cookbook is just more approachable for a home cook and if you've seen the show, there are lots of recipes in the book from the show.

Erin's books are available on Amazon and here is a link to her website, The Lost Kitchen!

Look for the IHCC site to change and update as we switch over to a new chef!

List of All Twenty-Eight I Heart Cooking Clubs Chefs!

You Choose the Recipes!

In the interest of freedom of choice and to maximize the fun, we have organized this cooking club on themes. How you interpret the theme is up to you. If you feel that you would like nothing better than a three-pound bison burger, with all the fixin's, on a spa day.. nobody will challenge you on it!

Once the theme is announced, feel free to peruse our current chef's recipes from cookbooks or online, to find one that you think suits the theme and your tastes. Have fun with the recipe, change what you like, and link into that week's post.

Have some great ideas for themes? We love to hear your ideas! Feel free to email any of the hosts or leave your ideas in the comments section.
