In the Bag: Cooking the Month of June - The Round up

Last month's bag was quite a challenge with its contents of mint and watermelon. But these bloggers rose to it with some great dishes:

eCurry:



Breakfast Lunch Dinner and Punch:



Apple Crumbles:



We also had a suggestion for a cocktail from AbbieAsadi on Twitter: "Hi Julia. My suggestion for the monthly ingredients: watermelon, mint and vodka for cocktails, maybe a dash of sugar syrup or classic sorbet." I love the sound of watermelon, mint and vodka cocktails, anyone fancy giving it a go?

Here Comes the Sun

Bringing the Virtual World to the Real World

The UKFBA stall is going fantastically well, with everyone joining in and bloggers teaming up to share the stall. We've got different bloggers throughout the summer selling good made by their own fair hands at the Covent Garden Real Food Market.

I caught up with Rebecca of 'From a North London Kitchen' down there the other week and happened to bump into Kavey from 'Kavey Eats', who was also visiting at the same time. It was so great to meet them both.

Poor Rebecca was sweltering in the heatwave but doing fantastically well selling her home made jams. You can catch her there this Thursday where she'll be doing it all over again.



For more on the stall take a look at www.ukfba.co.uk. Hope to see you over there!
