Announcing... The Comfort Bites Comfort Food Challenge

Link-ups and blog events are a great way of getting creativity going and kick-starting discussions about our favourite foods. And I've been thinking for a while that I'd like to start hosting one.

So here is.... The Comfort Bites Comfort Food Challenge *cue fanfare* It's really simple. All you have to do is blog a recipe, linking back to this page, using the event badge (above) in your post. It should be in keeping with the theme of the month, and must be some sort of comfort food to you. For example, it might remind you of something someone close to you makes you (or used to make you), a childhood memory, or just a favourite food you like to snuggle up with and eat when the rain is pouring down outside. Feel free to share your stories or connections to the recipe and why it's comforting to you.

Please also share your creations by posting an image on the Blog's Facebook page, Twitter or Instagram. Mention me @joromerofood or use the hashtag #comfortfoodchallenge and I'll retweet any that I see.

The theme for November's Comfort Food Challenge is... PASTA

I thought we'd start with an ingredient that many people will consider good, old-fashioned comfort food. Remember your recipe can be gluten-free (use GF pasta if you like), vegetarian, vegan, meaty, cheesy - whatever you want to cook, as long as it's a dish containing pasta. Use any kind of pasta you like - lasagne sheets, penne, fusilli or spaghetti - and obviously adorn it with whatever ingredients you want to.


I'll be posting my entry soon! Labels: comfort food challenge
