In 2011, six of us started this virtual recipe club called Beauties and the Feast in which one of us would choose a recipe of the month and the rest of us would try it and post about it.
In 2012, to keep things fresh, we tried a new format.
Each month we unveiled a special ingredient and challenged the others to use it in a recipe, sort of like Iron Chef.
