Hello, internet!
So, we are 28 (or so, some of us are still on the fence about the commitment, which is understandable (I guess)) women all over the world who are going to cook each and every recipe in the Smitten Kitchen cookbook in 2015. I mean all 28 of us are going to cook all 105 recipes, not that we're going to cook 3.75 apiece, which would be slightly less noteworthy. Every two weeks, we'll have an assigned recipe that everyone needs to do during that time frame, and other than that, it's up to us to determine our pace and order.
Anyway, so we're all pretty different people. I mean, we're alike in a lot of ways. For example, we are all super hilarious and extremely attractive, obviously. But some of us like order and spreadsheets and some of us eyeball the 1/2 tsp of salt (me) and think spreadsheet is something to do with bed making which makes it not something we do (also me.) Some of us already cook or bake a lot, some of us had to order basic kitchen items prior to agreeing to the challenge. We live in: New York (Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island), Chicago, Houston, Portland, Los Angeles, Nashville, Washington D.C., Miami, the Bay Area, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Canada (Ottawa, Alberta, and Toronto!), Scotland, and Australia. We are: Attorneys, writers, teachers, editors, nurses, librarians, among other things. We even have a diplomat and a makeup artist, yo! We'll each be blogging individually at some point, and we're also on Instagram at CookTheWholeBook.
I recommend watching some of us stick the landing and some of us burn things, like our house down. (me.)
