The Jen Challenge Begins

The Jen Challenge

Jen can cook; it is one of the things she is good at. The purpose of this challenge is to stretch her abilities and test her culinary creativity. College apartments are notorious for a lack of good food, but Jen thinks it is possible to eat well on any income. She has set out to prove that delicious meals - if not gourmet, at least good home style cooking -can come out of a college kitchen.

The rules are as follows: participants are selected from a drawing to see if they can stump Jen. The residents choose three ingredients that have to be included in a meal. Jen goes to their kitchen and has access to the rest of their ingredients, but she has to use these three in the food. There is a two hour time limit (the preparation is timed; most meals take less than half that time). The resulting recipe from each week’s adventure will be posted here along with comments from the cook on what she would have done different and an evaluation by the participants.

So begins the Jen Challenge. Let’s see what happens. . .
