Cooking Club 2013 - No Longer Accepting Sign-Ups!

    The time has come to sign up for next year's cooking club. Post below to secure your place (We will take approximately 48 sign-ups)! \o/

    Here are a few things you might need to know:

    1a. If you sign up, you be given a date that you must post a recipe on. The date will fall on a Friday. Please be prepared and have your recipe ready by this date. Please do not sign up if you are not serious about submitting a recipe.
    1b. Chances are, you will receive a reminder PM a few weeks before you are due to post your recipe. You must reply to this PM and confirm that you will still be taking part. Otherwise, your slot may be given away.
    1c. If you cannot take part on your allotted date for a foreseen reason, it is imperative that you contact the moderators in advance to let us know. A huge amount of work goes into the Cooking Club, and it is enormously frustrating when someone fails to post without good reason.
    1d. If you fail to post a recipe without letting us know why, a 2-week ban may result. Of course, we understand that sometimes things happen unexpectedly to prevent you from posting, so we will use our discretion here.

    2. Pictures are NOT required. They're nice, but they're in no way essential.

    3. The choice of recipe is entirely up to you. It can anything you like, as long as you think others will enjoy it. Some recipes get an unexpectedly large response, others get very few replies. Please don't be disheartened if your recipe doesn't generate a huge response. Often, people are making it without posting about it. Lack of replies don't mean your recipe was a failure!

    4a. We have a Random Recipe thread. If you don't sign up in time, or if you have extra recipes you'd like to submit, we strongly encourage you to post them to the Random Recipes thread.

    4b. For this year, in the event of drop-outs, we will select a recipe from the Random Recipes thread and move it to its own thread, to act as that week's recipe. If you DON'T want us to use your recipe in this way, please let us know.

    5. As usual, we will only accept sign-ups from posters who have a total postcount of more than 100 posts (or who can demonstrate a strong posting history in the Food & Drink forums under a previous closed account - PM the moderators for this). We will use our discretion with sign-ups where the poster has no history of posting here. We do this to minimise the number of people signing up and then forgetting about it or not wanting to take part a few months later.

    6. Finally, if there's a particular time of year that you'd prefer to post, or a time that really doesn't suit you, please let us know with your sign-up post :). OR if you're brave enough to be the first poster of the year in early January, please post it!

    i would like to sign up please, February would suit me best if possible!


  • Posts: 16,720 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Please sign me up for this. I'd prefer it around March/April if possible. Still unsure what I'll cook but I'll do some research before this :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,104 ✭✭✭Swampy


    Me please. Whenever is good.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,057 ✭✭✭MissFlitworth


    I'd love to :) Preferably not the last week in January - through February as I have college projects due around then but other than that I'm good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 790 ✭✭✭LaChatteGitane


    You can count me in. Before beginning of March or after the big move from May onward.

    Me please. I know I pulled out very last minute before - but as you'll see from my post in the feedback on cooking club thread I have everything back under control, a kitchen and some time etc now so can guarantee a recipe. I would prefer anytime after 1st March as work is manic until then, please and thank you!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,858 ✭✭✭homemadecider


    Me please! Months that don't suit me are March, July, September... any other time is fine. :)

    Hi Faith - I'm in too. Should the weeks be over-subscribed you can put me on a 'reserve' list.

    I promise not to do another Swiss dish this year. :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,921 ✭✭✭✭hdowney


    Howdy ho that's me signing up for duty :) Can't wait. No way I want to go first or anything though. Let a few go before me, give me time to ease into it :P Thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24 WreckinBar


    I'd be happy to give this a bash from my 6ft x 6ft college kitchen! I've been making a good few of the recipes here (the 2010 carbonara is a favourite) but not posting as much as I'd like to.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,332 ✭✭✭Mr Simpson


    I promise not to do another Swiss dish this year :o

    I'm in, and happy to do week 1 if needs be. Otherwise, any time other than the last two weeks in June/first two weeks in July is fine.

    Thanks Faith!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 192 ✭✭Galwaymother


    Me please! Daily lurker and well-seasoned cook... From France so could post a French speciality. Not during July or August as I'll be gone. Thanks!

    I'd like to sign up too. I've been very busy this year, but hope to be more active in the forum in 2013. I can probably do a recipe from March onwards (or earlier than that if necessary).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    I'd like to sign up please :D probably the first couple of months of the year are bad for me though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,463 ✭✭✭loveisdivine


    I'll sign up. Cant do September. I'll take the first week if nobody else wants too :)

    BTW, it doesnt have to be a recipe that we have made up completely ourselves does it? It can be a favourite recipe from a book or one that we have adapted?

    Hi WreckinBar,

    As you can see in my post above, we don't accept sign-ups from posters with less than 100 posts. This is due to a huge drop out rate in previous years, because these posters are most likely to forget they've signed up, or to stop using boards in the interim.

    We'd love if you'd post in the Random Recipe thread instead though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,799 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    For those who 'Thanked' my post above - please clarify...
    Were you glad that I offered to go on a 'stand-by' list?
    Or
    Are you sick of my Swiss recipes?

    Depending on your answers, your posting priveleges may be revoked. :p

    I thanked you because I was hoping that you'd make a Toblerone this year!

    I want in!

    Maybe both !:p

    In all seriousness Swiss cuisine is little known to me (except for cheese fondue and my yearly christmas eve raclette), so I am happy with your Swiss offerings. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,799 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    Acceptable answers, thank you. :p

    * puts banhammer back on shelf *


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,150 ✭✭✭✭Malari


    Dang, why do I always miss this thread for the first few days!? :(

    Sign me up if you still have space please! 1st week in January might be tricky for me but any other time is good. :)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,357 ✭✭✭emc2


    I'd like to do it again this year....might even do another breakfast related dish following the success of the pancakes!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Gauge


    I'd like to sign up for this as well please!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,495 ✭✭✭✭eviltwin


    Can you add me too please??

    I followed a lot of the recipies in CC 2012 and would love the chance to give back.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,657 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    Wow, space is filling up very quickly this year! Including me, we're now at 38 sign-ups and we usually have 48 slots. So 10 more spaces, or possibly 12 if I bump myself and tHB onto a reserve list :).

    I'll post this again when we have a schedule, but if you want to post up your recipe before your date, that's absolutely fine. You can start submitting them now, if you like! Once you post it, just report it and ask for it to be deleted ASAP - we'll soft delete the thread and revive it when your week comes around.

    This will hopefully make it easier for people to contribute :).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,548 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    I'll do one.... count me in.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,748 ✭✭✭✭Lovely Bloke


    Sign me up please :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,277 ✭✭✭Cheshire Cat


    Me too, please!

    Time to give after all the taking (of recipes) I've done ;-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,038 ✭✭✭✭Sparks


    I'm in! Thai soup or pizza? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,842 ✭✭✭shinikins


    Ooh!! Ooh!! Me too! I'm in again! I've a few newly learned South African dishes that I'd love to share
    !!
