ITB February Roundup

Before I start rambling let me just tell you the purpose of this little post. Basically a few weeks ago I invited food bloggers from around the world to join in with our challenge “In the Bag”, whereby dishes must be cooked using a group of pre-chosen seasonal ingredients – white chocolate, pomegranates, and passion fruit. That basically means that the recipes you see here are designed by cooks brave enough to rise to the challenge of creating great seasonal food – and I’m sure you’ll agree that they all deserve great thanks as a result.
Now on to my ramble. Despite hosting this month’s edition of “In The Bag” (next month’s host is Julia, one of the World’s Top 50 Food Blogs. I’m sure she’ll be announcing March’s event soon so make sure not to miss it), I didn’t even manage to submit an entry. It’s not for lack of ideas (Pomegranate Turkish Delight has been rattling around in my head for weeks, as has the delicious Passion Fruit Curd), but through my usual “last minute” style falling flat on its face as I realised no shops in my town had either passion fruit or pomegranates, including the local Tesco. Isn’t it strange that you don’t notice something is missing until you try and find it?

Ha! Famous? Never in my life I would think I am hehehe… I am just ooooooordinary. Thanks for the round up. I’ll see what I can do for next ITB. Wohoooo!!!
Noone is ordinary when you get to know them. Really hope you do join in next time around!
All of these looks so good! I’m not sure I could choose one to make, so I’ll have to check them all out! Great round-up of flavors!
They do look great, don’t they?
terima kasih for the round-up, Scott! hope I can join the next ITB.
Had to Google “terima kasih” to find out what it meant and then thought “d’oh, shouldv’e guessed that!”.
I hope you can join in next time, too.
Oh..no how could you? hosting without submitting an entry?
well, you made it up by posting this beautiful round-up. See you next time around.
I’m determined to make something for the next one. Just waiting on Julia’s unveiling of the bag…
Those are such lovely entries for such such lovely ingredients. I am pretty Not Good for not being able to do it this time.. didn’t see passion fruit … anywhere & the pomegranates were long gone too.
You were sorely missed! Maybe next time…
Thank you for all the wonderful things you said about our blog. In hindsight, I had alot of fun making this dish. During the first run at it though….. I’m just glad I got to try a totally new dish that I would have never made. Ian and I love this Challenge…keep it up!
I say nice things because you deserve it; your blog is a great read!
What a great idea, sorry I missed this one (only just found your blog) but looking forward to taking part in the future.
Consider this a warm invite for next time
Julia at “A Slice of Cherry Pie” is the host for March, I’m back again in April. I’ll be taking part, though!
God I missed it
I posted in Feb. a step by step on how to peel and seed a pomegranate …
Next time I will try to participate to in the bag!
Cheers!
A pomegranate peeling guide sounds very useful…heading over to your site now for a look!
Everyones creation turned out beautiful. Such great ideas! What talent.
I agree. Thanks for yours!
Scott,
That makes me feel a lot better that you didn’t submit anything. Despite all my best intentions (and the presence of both white chocolate and pomegranate in the house as we speak), I just never did manage to get anything done about it either.
Perhaps next time?
For those of you who missed out last month, I’ve just posted March’s bag: http://asliceofcherrypie.blogspot.com/2009/03/in-bag-cooking-month-of-march.html
OK, Passionfruit Mousse Cake for the win…! Hands down. You can wake me up for that stuff.
Agreed. Would love to try it.
Wow, some awesome entries, I’ll have to check them out.
I agree too. I think the March edition will be even better, though.
Indeed, not just great recipes, but splendid photos too and great blogs too. Seriously tricky ingredients to combine too.
This month’s (March) was even harder. My entry is on the front page now…
[...] – you all know how it is I guess you’ve been there too – that I didn’t spot February’s ‘bag’ until it was so close to the deadline I knew I wouldn’t have time to think something up. So [...]
