- Cool idea! I like the tie-in with the recipes category, too. A challenge answer could describe the meal and what the person learned along the way, linking to the recipes.
- Over on Writing the challenges are usually multi-faceted: write something on this theme or using one of these words or incorporating this line. This allows people to choose how to engage with the challenge: maybe the theme doesn't grab you but you can do something with that seed line. On our site, I could see us having challenges to use a specific ingredient (or set of ingredients) or use a specified cuisine or follow other constraints (like pantry cooking). If we just make it ingredient-based then someone who can't eat that ingredient is left out, but we might not want to limit ourselves only to things everyone can eat. By having another facet to the challenge, people can still participate.

- **Update:** I created a new [Challenges](https://cooking.codidact.com/categories/31) category. Other sites do this too, as opposed to using Meta. Go forth and challenge the community.
