EDITOR'S NOTE: This month, instead of the usual Cooking Club Challenge, we wanted to give you the opportunity to choose from a lot of different holiday recipes. Because, let's face it, baking season is in full swing and you need all the inspiration you can get. For the first 12 days of December we're featuring a new holiday treat every day.
And for our twelfth and final day of Holiday Treats... How can you go wrong with milk, cinnamon, vanilla, eggs and honey? Anna Olson's Cinnamon Custard will warm your belly on the coldest of holiday nights!
Here's how the Foodtv.ca Cooking Club Challenge works:
• Make the chosen monthly recipe. In this case, there are 12 recipes, so you'll have to keep checking back for the entire 12 days
• Feel free to follow it to a "T" or add your own creative flair
• Email a picture to blogATfoodtvDOTca (in .jpg format) and a short descriptive paragraph (100-150 words) before December 31, 2008 for your chance to win prizes. If you have a flickr account, you can post to the Foodtv.ca flickr group.
• Do check out past Cooking Club Challenge results
