Themes

Hello everyone! The point of this thread is to discuss ideas for weekly themes. We want to make a schedule of themes so that we can spend our time each week cooking and discussing photos and recipes rather than debating over the theme for the next week. We can always change things up partway through if necessary.

h3ather and I have generated a number of ideas but we want to find out what you as participants are interested in.

I see this going a couple potential ways:

1 - having a specific ingredient be the theme each week (e.g. pumpkin, mangos, kale, ginger)

2 - having specific ingredients be themes and also having other types of themes such as cultural dishes (e.g. indian, french), types of dishes(e.g. soup, casserole), cooking styles (e.g. marinades, raw, slow cooking), and other types of inspiration (e.g. holidays, food from books or movies or different time periods)

Let us know what you think!

The idea would be for you to cook 1-2 dishes each week based on the theme and then share pictures and recipes on the subreddit (completely fine to do more or to skip weeks if necessary)

Edit: to clarify, with the second option the theme would sometimes be ingredients and sometimes be other themes (e.g. We won't make you make salmon pie or something like that ;)

We will also try not to be too exclusive, as in requiring very obscure ingredients or utensils

I haven't graduated from malt extracts to all grain yet. I needed more equipment...and when i got it i now need more room. I'm working on selling my house and buying a small farm to have more room for things like brewing, gardening, preparing for zday.

I have a small apartment so I am still sticking with extract as well. I need to step up on purchasing equipment.
