The Beginning

JC and her daughter D from the Midlands UK visited JK and her daughter M in the Midwest USA during July/August 2009. The four of us went to see the film/movie "Julie & Julia." We were inspired by the idea of learning new cooking techniques and recipes.

D: The following morning we were writing a shopping list to buy ingredients for a Barefoot Contessa recipe that we had seen and wanted to try, when we realised that we did not have enough time to make the dish before two of us return the UK. This led to a discussion about us all trying the recipe on the same weekend and emailling each other with our thoughts and comments. As all good ideas do, this developed into the idea of trying the same recipes and blogging our photos, comments and questions. We aim to try out recipes from the USA and the UK. Our challenge will be making the same recipes with ingredients that we are unfamilar with, called something different in each country or not available.
