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.

Make and post your September IHCC Potluck recipe in honor of Kim and her mom, by Sunday, September 24th and link a picture up below.

Please remember to link a thumbnail image and please do leave a comment after you link up so that we don't miss out on your dish.

New to IHCC? Need help linking up or just a refresher on how to join in the fun and become a part of our community? Please check out our Welcome page. If you have any questions please leave a comment below and we will get back with you.

If you missed out on our Monthly Featured Ingredient/Recipe Challenge: Potatoes! theme last week, please click on the link to see what everyone made.

***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!

***Monthly Events Vote***

We are looking for a decision on whether to continue to have a monthly event (beyond Potluck of course!) and what that event should be.

Here are the options--please vote for one in the poll at the top of the page:

Option 1:
In October, we will feature Ellie Krieger as our Monthly Featured Chef and we will have rotated through all of our previous chefs for the Monthly Featured Chef Event. If we continue this event, we would need to start over with Nigella Lawson and repeat our roster of chefs. Would you like to continue the Monthly Chef Event, repeating the chefs for another year?

Option 2:
We have also thought of another Monthly Event--a Monthly Featured Dish/Ingredient Challenge. In this challenge we would name either a popular dish (mac-n-cheese, chili, stir-fry, etc.) or a basic ingredient (pasta, eggs, chocolate, etc.). You can pick a recipe from any of our previous chefs for that month's dish or ingredient. It would be sort of a mini-challenge to find the best recipes out there for the different dishes and ingredients.

Option 3:
Finally, we could stop having an additional monthly event and just have 3 to 4 weekly themes with our current featured chef (Heidi Swanson Oct. 3, 2016- April 2, 2017) plus Potluck week.

Please vote ONCE for which option you prefer!

Cheerio, Mate! (Our Final Potluck with Jamie Oliver!)

First things first... If you can't tell by looking around, starting next week there is a new chef in town. You came, you voted, and you selected Tessa Kiros as the chef we will be cooking with for the next six months!

Born in London to a Finnish mother and a Greek-Cypriot father, Tessa Kiros has traveled all over the globe while collecting inspiration, memories and recipes. Her gorgeous cookbooks are the stuff dreams are made of and we look forward to exploring the world with her.

But wait...

Before we welcome Tessa officially, we need to say Cheerio, Mate! to a very special chap, Jamie Oliver. Six months cooking with Jamie has flown by and it is time to say goodbye with one final POTLUCK!

It's time to make that Jamie recipe you have been putting off, or remaking a dish you loved. Whatever you decide to make, let's send Jamie out with a bang this week!

Jamie, we will miss getting naked with you! Thinking fondly of your rumpled "everyday bloke" good looks, your cheeky personality and your easy-peasy, tasty recipes. Even though we will be cooking with a new chef instead of spending time with you each week, you will always be in our hearts.

Pick your final Jamie Oliver recipe from one of his books or online and join in the final POTLUCK fun by posting your dish by Sunday, September 25th.

Don't forget to link your post of the week's with Mr. Linky below, so we can all enjoy your fabulous potluck creation!

Remember to leave a comment after, each week that you use Mr. Linky to link your post, just to be sure we don't miss anyone.

New to IHCC and not sure what a permalink is? Check out our Welcome post.

If you missed the Ready, Breadie! theme last week, be sure to head on over and see all of the delicious bread creations that everyone made!

Don't forget! We are still cooking through the recipes of Jamie Oliver for another week...so if you've linked up, be sure that you've used/adapted one of his recipes for your post!

So Jamie, Cheerio, Mate! And we will see you all at the POTLUCK!

September Potluck!

It's Potluck time again!

Sadly, this is our last Potluck with Mark Bittman, so pull out that Bittman recipe you have been saving to try, or maybe you want to remake a previous Bittman favorite. Either way...

Get ready for our September Potluck!

Anything goes for a Potluck dish, as long as it is a Bittman recipe of course!

Post your Potluck creation by Sunday, September 26th and don't forget to link up your post with Mr. Linky below. Remember to leave a comment when you link up, so don't miss seeing your fab creation. New to IHCC and not sure about how the whole deal works? Just check out the Welcome post for all of the info.

Speaking of fab food, if you didn't get a chance to check out all the cheesy-goodness for last week's "Say Cheese!" theme, go back and take a look at what cheesy delights everyone selected to make.

It is going to be hard to say goodbye to Mark Bittman next week, and I am sure everyone has already checked out the poll results for our newest cook, starting in October, but just in case...it is Giada De Laurentiis. It was a close race between Giada and Lidia Bastianich, with Giada taking an early lead, then Lidia coming from behind and dominating the votes until the eleventh hour when Giada jumped ahead and won the popular vote. Such drama! ;-) With four great cooks/chefs, it was really a no-lose situation, and of course we can put Lidia up for another vote later on. We will be posting October's themes soon, and also giving IHCC a bit of a facelift to welcome Giada, including adding some links to her website and sources for her recipes. So get ready!

See you all at the Potluck with your best Bittman dish!

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.
