What’s your hardest holiday dinner challenge?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Evening Edge launched a new Dinner Dare this week from Atlanta chef Linton Hopkins, and we are now at work on the Thanksgiving Dinner Dare.
The idea of Dinner Dare is to get a chef to cook the way you do — on a tight deadline and with a modest budget. The result is a menu, with recipes, that you can make within 30 minutes. And you can ask the chef for advice.
And that got to thinking about what would be most helpful to busy cooks and busy eaters during the holiday season. Tell us your most difficult holiday dinner challenge, and if we like the question, we’ll try to find some solutions.
The challenge could be a particular food or recipe — or it could be where to find a particular food item that might be faster or cheaper to buy ready-made.
By the way, our Thanksgiving Dinner Dare will not be a 30-minute menu, but it will be on a time limit, with a modest budget, using ingredients and equipment most of us have in the kitchen.
With all that in mind, tell us your holiday cooking troubles, and then check back.
