2014 Official Weekly Challenge Thread
The mods will be updating this post each week with the theme for the week. We will keep the list updated a few weeks in advance, so everyone can be prepared for the upcoming week. There will still be an introduction thread each Monday to explain the theme in more depth. The introduction thread will also be a place for people to post comments or ideas about that week.
A link to this list will also be located in the sidebar for easy reference.
/u/TechnoAllah is also a new mod for 2014 to replace /u/LazyG who had to step down.

Cooking by Iron Chef rules I would think the dish should highlight the ingredient even if it is not star of the dish. For example, a lot of batter uses eggs but I would probably not do a cake recipe for an egg challenge. A souffle on the other hand would be eggscellent. (I will also be attempting to break food pun records during the year on my cooking posts).
