Recipe Look First Birthday Competition

Tom — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:14:32 +0000

Recipe Look is one year old this month, and to celebrate we are holding a competition! Send in your Hottest Recipe and win these hot vintage salt and pepper shakers!

We are expecting hot stuff from you, and that means either literally, involving all sorts of spices, or it could be a dish linked to the hottest moment of your life. The theme is hot, whatever that means to you. In any case, send a little written anecdote along with your drawings, or better yet make the story part of your drawing, and it might help win you some votes.

That’s right, votes. We invite all our viewers to comment on the recipes they like the most, and give a reason why you think it should win this excellent prize. Amelie and Tom (that’s us) will go through the comments at the end and decide the winner. You have until the 31st of April to submit your recipe to us, so happy drawing.

Another recipe from Iveth Morales. Iveth says ‘this one is very dear to me because my mom used to made this to me when I was little and now I’m cooking it to my own daughter! The best part is that she goes crazy each time I make this pasta for her! And it is so easy and surprisingly delicious.’

Nettle Pesto!

It’s nice when people get inspired by the blog and give ‘Recipe Looking’ a go for the first time. But, by the looks of it, Sally, aka Oswald Flump, looks like she’s done this kind of thing before.

Sally says that nettles should not be eaten when they are in flower, so the best time to use them is in spring or early summer. Be careful!

My mum always insists that the older bananas are eaten before the newer ones, which of course means that if your banana consumption dips even slightly you find yourself fighting an endless battle eating brown bananas to get back to the perfectly ripe ones. This cake is what we needed…
