The Daring Baker's Club

In the Daring Bakers club, a challenge "host" posts the same recipe challenge for all members on the 1st of every month.  We have until the 27th to complete the challenge and its results are posted on all members' blogs on that day.  It's pretty awesome and inspiring to see all the different blog posts every month!  And the members are very friendly.  If you're up for a go at food blogging, adventuresome baking or simply learning to bake, check out the Daring Kitchen link on my sidebar.  I would highly recommend it - it's a ton of fun and a great learning experience!

I've become a fairly active participant on the Daring Kitchen website, in that I've been writing articles for their online magazine, Food Talk.  I've also done some cookbook and product reviews!

• Le Livre Blanc {Cookbook Review}
• Slow Cooking for Two  {Cookbook Review}
• Low Budget, Low Maintenance Food Photography  {Food Talk}
• Chocolate Chip Cookies 12 ways (a side-by-side comparison of fats, sweeteners and a gluten-free flour)  {Food Talk}
• A Minnesota Tradition  {Food Talk}
• Potluck Soup  {Food Talk}
• Juicy Non-fiction For Lovers of Food  {Food Talk}
• Recipe Rehab  {Cookbook Review}
• Famous Chefs and Fabulous Recipes  {Cookbook Review}
• Redpack Tomatoes  {Product Review}
• Aardvark  {Product Review}

PS The Daring Kitchen also organizes a Daring Cooks club!  You can do one or both (and the due date is staggered; end of the month for the bakers, middle for the cooks).
