Hey Kids, It’s been a while since we last toiled in the kitchen for you all and I think it’s about time I gave myself something else to complain about. To that end, in honor of spring, and also in honor of other things that have no direct relation to this, we will be making […]

Barefoot Contessa – 2/29/2012 – Invite
February 27th, 2012
Much of the world cooks while barefoot, but there is only one barefoot contessa we look to for culinary advice.

Soups and Saladettes, Every once in a while, we here at the Cooking Army like to pretend that we are Earth conscious and care about the future and other peoples’ feelings.

Thanksgiving is over, but there is another opportunity to over eat this Wednesday.

When: Next Wednesday, November 9th. Cooking starts […]

Howdy Kats and Kits, The weather has, once again, gone evil. I am beginning to think Chicago is built on top of some ancient native burial ground, but I digress. In a vain attempt at forced delusion, we at the cooking army have decided to cook food from an island paradise where roasting a whole […]
