The Cottage Cooking Club continues its cooking adventures

Dear fellow members of The Cottage Cooking Club and all those bloggers that would love to join us:

as mentioned last year, as a group we will have cooked our way through the entire River Cottage Everyday Veg by 28th April, 2016. Quite the achievement!

On 1st May, 2016, we will continue our cooking adventure together - with two books from the same author. One is called "River Cottage Every Day" and the other one is called "Love Your Leftovers".

The rules will basically remain the same (you can consult the rules here), ten recipes to choose from, one post a month from "River Cottage Every Day" and then if you have the time and, of course, those lovely leftovers, you can choose to add (or not) as many or as little of the recipes from "Love Your Leftovers" to your personal "end of month post"!

Now that we are at the beginning of the new year, you might consider getting those two books (or just one of them) and continue cooking with us or join as a new member! Or even as a guest blogger, a category that we created a long time ago!

Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me: andrea(at)thekitchenlioness.de

The Cottage Cooking Club - December Recipes

My dear fellow members of The Cottage Cooking Club:

Now we are at the beginning of December and therefore into our twentieth month of preparing recipes from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall´s “River Cottage Everyday Veg”. This month we will be preparing recipes with seasonal winter produce.

PLEASE NOTE: since this is going to be one busy month for all of us, I decided to cut the recipes down to 5 (five) instead of 10 (ten). If you have the time and feel up to it, you can „make up“ as many or as little additional recipes that you manage to fit into your personal schedule.

PLEASE feel free to substitute or add local vegetables to the recipes as it is always best to cook with what you can find at your local farmers´markets and greengrocers.

1. From the chapter of Comfort Food & Feasts:
Chachouka (page 20)

2. From the chapter of Hefty Soups:
Mushroom stoup (page 154)
