In the Bag: Cooking the Month of February!

In the Bag Logo Feburary 08

It’s time to share this month’s ‘In the Bag’ selection with you. We have a colourful line-up for you this month which I’m sure you’re going to have lots of fun with. The 3 ingredients are:

Forced rhubarb
An orange
Sugar

All you need to do to enter is to create a dish using these ingredients, then post about it on your blog or website and drop me an email.


Entry Details
Send an email with ‘In the Bag in the subject line to asliceofcherrypie AT yahoo DOT co DOT uk by Friday 29th February with the following information:
  • your name
  • the name of your blog or website
  • a link to your post
  • the name of your dish
  • a picture of your dish

Rules
Here are the loose rules - but ultimately remember the objective is to have fun whilst highlighting seasonal food:

1. Participants should attempt to use all the ingredients 'in the bag' for that particular month, but may leave one out if they prefer. The dish should be based around the seasonal ingredient, with it acting as a central ingredient.

2. Participants can include any "extra" ingredients that they see fit.

3. Entries should include a link back to the host for that month, and the post should be tagged "In the Bag".

4. Entries can be written any time during the month, as long as the URL is emailed to that month's host before the closing date.

5. Particpants from outside of the UK are most welcome to join in and substitute an item from their own local seasonal produce if necessary.

'In The Bag' is a food event run monthly by 'A Slice of Cherry Pie' and 'Real Epicurean'.

Ha! I made rhubarb fool just last week - I stewed the rhubarb in fresh orange juice, sweetened with sugar and then stirred it through custard. Sublime. But I didn't take photos and I'm trying to lose weight so I'm not sure I should really make it again. I'll see what else I can come up with.

I've already done this! *sigh* See my blog for forced rhubarb and Greek yogurt on brioche... Oh well, no harm in thinking of something else, I suppose. But will I have the time??

Sounds good - it will be interesting to see if people submit savory as well as sweet recipes!

This is great! I hope I can get my hands on some rhubarb. If so, count me in!
