The Best Cold Weather Cooking Games


Like cooking games? Now that it’s winter (or almost winter, anyway) you have more options than ever on games to play. The best winter cooking games take advantage of the cold to make hot, rich dishes the centerpiece of meals and snacks. Here are some of the best cold weather cooking games you should try this fall and winter:

Brownies From Scratch
We can all make brownies from a box, but can you make brownies from scratch? Start with blocks of chocolate and a bit of sugar and flour. Add the remaining ingredients from a time-tested recipe and see what the original version of the brownie is supposed to taste.

Hot Chicken Soup
Don’t settle for canned soup when the weather cools off. Make your own by cutting up chicken and vegetables and cooking. When you make your own chicken soup, you can add as many noodles as you’d like and make your chicken pieces large and delicious or thin and blended in with the rest of the concoction.

Fresh Bread
The smell of bread cooking is unlike any other. If you’ve never made bread from scratch, this is your year. Start with a basic white or wheat bread and go through the steps of kneading the dough, letting it rise, punching it down and repeating. Soon you’ll have loaves of bread fit for a king.
