The Gourmet Challenge
http://thegourmetchallenge.blogspot.com/
Each year the Australian Gourmet Traveller magazine puts out a restaurant guide to the top 100 eateries in the nation. This Blog tracks the progress of one womans dream to eat at all 100 restaurants, at one given point in time. Along they way, recipes from each restaurant will be attempted to be cooked at home, with glorious victories and spectacular failures. It might take a year, it might take 5 years or it might take a lifetime. The challenge and joy is the journey along the way.
