• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

The Wild Card Challenge: make a dessert from onions.

Thank you to everyone who has entered our first Wild Card Challenge. @Elawin and @Kake Lover both used apples and onions. A brilliant combo and one I will use in the future! @Elawin's addition of Swede was very clever, I thought. Apple and onion shortcake from @Herbie was a delightful concoction with layers of cream, caramelised onions, caramelised apple and shortbread. And @classic33 had us all scratching our heads with a Savoury Beef Trifle! My personal favourite entry was Sweet Onion Dim Sum from @ElizabethB - it is so inventive and pretty.

Now its over to @The Late Night Gourmet who has will be hosting the challenge from now on. A big thanks to @The Late Night Gourmet for taking this on! :bravo:

The new Wildcard Challenge is here: The Wildcard Challenge: Blindfolded Ingredient Selection!
