    The recipe for week 24 has still not been posted despite 2 reminders & a revised posting date of yesterday.

    Unfortunately, I've now had to ban the poster in accordance with the forum rules. This is the second time this year we've had to do this. :(

    However, we hope to have a replacement recipe up shortly thanks to the wonderful Faith. :)

    Sorry for the inconvenience folks - thanks for your continued patience. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

    A big shout out to LordChessington for stepping in with this week's recipe because of another no show. Many thanks!

    A reminder to all - please, please post your recipe by Friday evening so that the other Club members can work on the recipe over the weekend. Posting late, & especially not at all, is disrespectful to other posters.

    If you have a genuine reason for being unable to post - that's fine - just let us know as soon as possible so we can get a stand-in in time.

    I'm about to climb into the freezer, so I can't wait for your recipe, BaZmO :D.

    Pasta for dinner may not have been the best idea... Now I have both food sweats and ordinary sweats :D.

    Just wanted to say that I have my recipe pretty much ready to go if you need a stand in or something; think I'm meant to be posting the second last week or something.

    angledelight can't put up a recipe this week so if anybody can put up replacement recipe that'd be great.

    Pigwidgeon, could you post up your recipe if its ready? I don't think anyone has stepped in to fill angeldelight's place.

    Thank you! Do you want to be taken off from your slot at the end of the year, or would you like to submit a different recipe then?

    No problem, it's up now. I don't mind really, if there's someone else who wants to put one in then, that's grand if not I'mm sure I can come up with something else to post.

    I have an idea for next year.

    Don't do sign-ups all at once, maybe do them 4 times a year, just enough for 3 months then repeat a couple of weeks before that period elapses... It might help to keep more people interested and to then follow through on their commitment.

    Hope this helps :)

    Thanks for the suggestion. This is suggested every year, and it's a good idea, but the bottom line is the workload for us mods increases by 300% at least in doing that. It's worth considering, but I for one wouldn't be able to commit to it, and I don't think any of the others would either. We'd have to bring in a whole new team to run the forum, probably.

    When it comes to chatting behind the scenes about next year's schedule, we'll discuss it in more depth :).

    /edit: BaZmO - edited that for you.

    There is nothing stopping you from asking for new mods, Faith. If the forum is busy, it's definitely not a bad complaint! If you want help, contact your local friendly CMod to start the ball rolling.

    I am sure there are plenty of folks willing to help with the hard work. Proper Cooking Club contributors like. Cos I agree that doing a 3mthly list makes more sense in that hopefully there'd be a lot less no-shows. The no-shows must be so disheartening for the mods who put all the work into the cc

    Hi,
    I like the look of this club, wondering at all if i could join or if you could let me know how i join it. I absolutly love to cook so much so my husband and I got a set of chef knives (not a good brand), and a pasta maker as a wedding present this year. Love to cook all kind of dishes.

    Thanks

    Hi mollybird, we are full up for this year but will open for sign-ups again in December. The rules for joining will be explained then.

    In the meantime, feel free to cook at the recipes and give your feedback, or put your own recipes into the Random Recipes thread.

    Another poster now banned for 2 weeks (as per the charter) for failing to post, but mainly ignoring reminders & also an offer to reschedule. :(

    Apologies for the inconvenience folks, I hope the Vindaloo recipe was OK for ye.

    Don't apologise - a) it's not your fault, and b) the vindaloo looks tasty and is on the to-make list!:)

    Thanks for that. I was more apologizing because as a mod of this forum I feel responsible for the running of it. And also because I know the amount of time & effort that you & all the regular posters give this forum. It pains me to ban someone from a forum like this, but when someone doesn't post even after the reminders sent (& a big thanks to BaZmO* for their support with this!) I find that terribly disrespectful. Like a waiter apologizing for the chef making a balls of your dish.

    I really just wanted to acknowledge the patience & commitment of you all to this forum. Those who post recipes & especially those who try the recipes & give your honest feedback are the heart & soul of the forum. You deserve to have your recipes 'dished up' every week on-time without fail.
