Hi everyone! It’s time for our first “real” nominations process.
We need to choose 2 recipes from the book for next month. Comment below with your choices. We’ll close comments on Sunday, 2/21, and then post a poll for people to vote. The March schedule will be posted by Friday, 2/26.
Looking forward to seeing what people are interested in cooking!

This was difficult since the options are wide open! Here are my nominations:
Dukkah, pg. 81
Dukkah-Roasted cauliflower, pg. 224

I know re the wide open! If you have suggestions for how to narrow it in these early months, I’m all ears! I was hoping people had something they were salivating over and wanted to cook early on. 🙂

For this month, I only let myself look at chapters we haven’t cooked from yet. But that will only work for a month or so… I also considered what produce is in season vs. what will be in seasons later in the year.

Haha! Remember when some of us were starting AMFT and we all nominated all the desserts all the time? Then there was the dreaded #monthoffish in early 2015? Let us all learn from that!! I vote: Belgian beef stew with beer and spice bread (198) + Dukkah-Roasted cauliflower (224).

I picked my suggestions before I looked at what everyone else was saying. Happy to see there’s some overlap. I nominate the Dukkah-Roasted Cauliflower (224) and the Buckwheat Madeleines (270). Katie, I love the Nominations graphic Did you make that?

Thanks, Betsy! I did make the graphic. I wanted to have some sort of symbol for the main recipe categories and that idea came to me quickly! Still working on the LYL and C&C ideas. 🙂

Frankly, after the month of February, I am sweet-ed out. And yes – I agree with Mardi, we don’t want any “month’s of anything” (esp. fish 🙂 )
Also, I know it’s early, but are we going to save the cover recipe for the end?
Belgian beef stew with beer and spice bread (198)
Dukkah-Roasted cauliflower (224).

I think that’s a fine idea (and I hadn’t even thought that far, Cher, so thanks!)! Though I do think I’ll be making that mustard chicken sooner rather than later on my own. 😉

The recipe for the mustard chicken is delicious, I’ve made it a few times. Also, Katie, I see many posting on the alumni page
also, is that necessary? I have only done Facebook and CookthebookFridays.

Hi Ro, not necessary to post on the Alumni page. Some do in the hopes that more of our FFWD brethren and sistren will join us, but there’s no need to blanket the internet if you don’t want to. 🙂

I am just fine with Belgian beef stew with beer and spice bread (198)
Dukkah-Roasted cauliflower (224). Good choices. Saving the cover for last or some other special recipe is a good idea. I also have made the mustard chicken (with Susan and John Lester) and it is delicious.
