"Kate's in the Kitchen"

My friend Kate is awfully good in the kitchen. She writes a beautiful blog about her passion for food and cooking. The photos are gorgeous. Her writing, too.

Right now she's competing in the Iron Foodie 2010 Contest. Sort of a food bloggers version of the Iron Chef, one of the few TV shows my husband and I both love to watch.

Kate and 24 other competitors each received 8 secret ingredients. They had to use at least three of those ingredients to create a recipe. You should see the delicious soup Kate dreamed up. It looks fantastic. I can't wait to make it for my daughter when she comes home for Christmas. I just know she'll love it.
