Challenge 2008

Published by helen at 12:00 am under meta

A Challenge:

to choose a cookery book – any one you like, as long as it’s not a tiny cookery pamphlet or Larousse Gastronomique – and prepare every single recipe in it before December 31st 2008

and, 366 days and one second, 190 recipes later, we are done. It might be the effect of Annie Lennox on Hootenanny, but I did just cry a wee tear as I put that final finishing touch to The Challenge Page, as I changed the count to zero. It’s been quite a year. More thoughts on that, tomorrow perhaps. In the time being, I’ve written bloody loads in the last few days, so away an read something. And Happy New Year to you all!

    totally awesome, actually. Very impressed: it could have been easy to just let it slide (apart from the deep scrutiny of your adoring public)

    Well, it nearly all went down the pan in the summer, but we just put our minds to it and got on with it. Yeeha!
