When your photos started to trickle in, I have to admit that it was slow going. I wasn't sure how many submissions we were going to get this month in view of the advanced barbecuing that Matt Dunigan's recipe called for (what with the smoking pouches and all). But as usual, you all surpassed our expectations -- by end of the month we had us a formidable number of your mouthwatering rib submissions, and what was most impressive is how similar everybody's attempts looked to Matt Dunigan's photo! Your photos - Gorgeous! Several of you commented on how you now know how to make/smoke ribs, and that to me is what Foodtv.ca's Cooking Club Challenge is all about: learning, sharing and improving! Other than the fact that they were delicious, several of you noted that: the sauce recipe made a huge amount of sauce the smoking was not that bad/hard, and did not make the ribs taste too smokey Some of you even made these in your toaster ovens!

We were very happy to receive Katina's heartwarming account of how she impressed her Chinese father with her Hunan skills, and can't help but feel a little misty-eyed for being a part of that. So for that, Katina T., for making us here at Foodtv.ca feel really good about ourselves, like we're making a difference, we thank you and award you this month's winner (read Katina's story below). Congratulations! From Katina T.; I made the Hunan Smoked Beef Ribs recipe yesterday for a belated Father's day dinner with my dad. My family is Asian, and my dad has always preferred good old Chinese food to Western food. He's also the meat expert chef in the family, so I wanted to impress him with Chinese-style ribs that I made on my own, and have them as tender as the ones we had in the last restaurant we ate at. The last time I made my own baby back ribs, they were sort of chewy and tasteless! Well, the ribs ended up being...
