In the Spotlight: The Daring Kitchen!

Ever share a recipe with a friend, maybe even make the same recipe and compare notes over how it came out?  Isn't that fun and certainly a way to grow as a baker or cook?  If you have, then you need to join The Daring Kitchen.

One day, Lisa of La Mia Cucina and Ivonne of Cream Puffs in Venice decided to share a recipe for pretzels back in 2006, and before they knew what happened, by 2009, they had a website with thousands of followers!!  "Today, The Daring Bakers and The Daring Cooks span the world as bakers/cooks of all nationalities come together once a month to try something new in the kitchen!"

For more information about Lisa and Ivonne, check out the Daring Kitchen website and become a member.  The monthly challenges, whether you are a Daring Cook or a Daring Baker, are fun and certainly challenge (pardon the redundancy) you to spread your culinary wings!  We've been members since November 2010, and even though we can't do every single monthly challenge due to our already hectic schedules, we try to do it because it really is so much fun for us!

Check out our recent challenges from December, February, and March.  Stay tuned for May's challenge at the end of the month - it's a yummy one for chocolate lovers!

Until then, happy baking!
