Welcome to No Chef’s Allowed, where sisters, Megan O’Connor and Tricia Keels are on a quest to cook together, learn together and add one more skill to their kitchen adventures.

They would love to walk down the street and cook together on a regular basis, but as if full-time jobs and growing families weren’t enough, Megan lives in Chicago and Tricia in Columbus, Ohio.  No Chefs Allowed started with a Horseradish Root and challenge from Megan to Tricia.  ”What can you make with this?  I’ll give you a month to work on it.”

The original plan was to pull together a dinner party at the end of the month and serve the creations made with their new ingredients and be judged by their guests.  But the judging never really solidified even though the concept did.  After 8 months of new ingredients, the sisters realized they were learning an awful lot in the kitchen.  And that they could find people to help them learn more.

Join them in the Monthly Ingredient Challenge, listen to Podcasts, participate in the Blog with the ingredient of the month or browse the Kitchen to find something you want to make in your home.

Participate in these pages  or on our social networks and cook with us.  This is a community of learners, adventures and lovers of food.

Hope to cook with you soon.
