The Challenge

I was inspired watching the movie "Julie/Julia" on a plane recently and decided 'I could do that too'... just not quite so ambitiously perhaps ;-)

So, what book/magazine/chef could I use as a challenge and still be happy to eat the end results - I freely admit my dislike for rich, creamy, fatty foods. I decided my challenge had to contain:
  • a mixture of cuisines
  • food from different courses
  • something I could actually attain
  • dishes I would not normally cook
  • new ingredients
While I was pondering this decision wavering between many different ideas, the new Donna Hay Winter magazine arrived in the mail!
Hmmmm, this could work! I love Donna Hay recipes; they always work, they are always tasty and while using challenging ingredients and techniques are well within my abilities as a cook!

Done! Decision made - so easy in the end!

This meant the challenge was... 95 recipes in the 13 weeks of winter! I was sure I could do it!

Well it's been a ball so far

I wasn't going to blog about this - in fact I'm already a month into the challenge - but I have been itching to tell friends abroad about what I'm doing - and they have asked too ... so gals, this is it ;-)
