Welcome to the October meeting of Eden Cooks! We're celebrating a meeting date change---to help you get your ingredients and work the recipes into your weekly cooking plan, we'll now be having our meeting on the 3rd Monday of every month, at the same time.
Eden Cooks is a cooking club for any interested members of the Eden community. We will meet on the forum to discuss everything from tips and pointers for less well-equipped kitchens, explanations of cooking terms, and important techniques. There will be a featured recipe each meeting, with pictures taken as I prepare it for you. I will cover some ingredient substitutions to make each recipe more friendly to people with dietary restrictions.
October can be a very busy month for a cook (if you garden, you'll be canning, pickling, or freezing lots of your crop), so it's good to have a quick, warm and hearty but refreshing recipe like corn chowder on hand when you're feeling rushed. English muffins go together wonderfully with soups, and are easy to prepare by the two-dozen and keep in the freezer to toast when you're feeling rushed later. I'll be sharing an original recipe for corn chowder, as well as the current state of my English muffin recipe (it's ever-evolving, but my mom's been calling the current version "Best Yet, Easiest Yet English Muffins.")
During the meeting, a $25 gift card will be awarded for the winner of a contest where you guess the lesser known kitchen implement from a series of photos that I take. Another will be given to the winner of a trivia contest from information that I will provide during the meeting.
The meeting will take place on the EdenFantasys forum in this very thread at 8 pm EST on Monday, October 17th. I'm really looking forward to this meeting, so I hope to see you there!
