Taste&Create VII – T&C February Round-Up
All submissions for the February Round-Up of Taste&Create are finally in! We just keep growing and growing! A few people didn’t show up (some have told me post are on their way b/c they were sick – thank you for letting me know), so if you blogged about your partner’s dish and I didn’t get it, please send it to me so I can update this post! Before we get to all the great posts… I’d like to announce T&C VII. This takes place every month, and the round-up is posted on the 1st day of the following month.
What it’s all about: community, sharing, tasting, and blogging.This is a gathering point for the food-blogger community to come and have their recipes tested by their peers.
How you can T&C:
- Leave a COMMENT by March 8, 2008, and include:
- your name
- the name of your blog
- your blog’s address
- your email address
- I will email you by March 11th with your partner’s info, and I will edit this post and put up the partners list at the bottom. If you do not receive an email by March 12th, please look here for your partner and check your spam folder to see if the email was sent there!
- You will:
- Browse through your partner’s yummy blog entries, and pick out one dish that looks really interesting to you
- Create the dish you’ve chosen
- Taste it and tell us what you think (aka – blog about it)!
- Don’t forget you have to include a photo – so snap away!
- Email your entry by March 24, 2008 with
- your name
- the name of your blog
- the name of your partner’s blog
- the name of the dish you created on your partner’s blog
- your permalink (the link that goes directly to the post)
- 1 photo of your re-creation (just some legal blah blah: I reserve the right to blog with your image, even for commercial purposes. I’m not planning to sell it or anything, but my husband thinks I should add this.)
- sum up the dish in 1 phrase
- send your emails to: myamii@rezimo.com
- In your post please include a link to this post and/or include the T&C logo, so we can get the word out and have others join in the fun.
- Your personal blog entry doesn’t have to be in English, but please make sure that your “summed up phrase†is.

Michelle from Greedy Gourmet blogged about The Allergy Kid’s Basic Latkes. Michelle says “They ended up being slightly tricky to work with but it was all worth it, knowing I could eat all the crispy and lovely latkes stacked high on my plate without having to keel over of stomach pain half an hour later.”
