Event Name: ?
No Croutons Required

Hosting Blog:
Tinned Tomatoes

Theme: Sandwiches

Start Date: now
Event Deadline:? 20 October 2012

For this month's No Croutons Required, I would like to focus on what is often served alongside soup or a salad. I am thinking of the humble sandwich.?

Toasted or plain, I would like you to come up with an interesting sandwich. The only stipulation is that it must be suitable for vegetarians.

Crossiants, artisan bread, bagels, tacos, panini, ciabatta..............

We Should Cocoa

Hosting Blog:
Hungry Hinny

Theme: Pumpkin

Start Date: now
Event Deadline:? 25 October 2012

Pumpkin seems to be an incredibly popular baking ingredient on the other side of the Atlantic, but not so much here in the UK. I think this needs to be rectified, and what better way to do it than combining it with chocolate?

To enter, just make something with chocolate and pumpkin.

Seafood Feast

Hosting Blog:
My Spicy Kitchen

Theme: Seafood

Start Date: now
Event Deadline:? 7 October 2012

I am back with another event announcement. After chicken and red meats events, it is time for a seafood feast! Seafood is any food that has life, lives in the sea or fresh water and is eaten by human beings. Seafood is primarily fish and shell fish from the sea and in the United States, even fresh water fish & shell fish is also consider as seafood.?

The food that falls in this category are all kinds of fish, shrimp/prawns, craw fish, crabs, mussels, oysters, scallops, lobsters and squid. These are the seafood I have eaten and could think of. For the next few weeks, lets have a virtual seafood feast and share our favorite seafood recipes here. Let the feast begin!

Serve it

Hosting Blog:
Oh Taste n See

Theme: Boiled

Start Date: now
Event Deadline:? 31 October 2012

This month?s theme for Serve It series is ?Serve It ? Boiled?. We just had to reserve this theme for October. With the onset of the fall season here in the US and monsoons in India, we all would like something steaming hot for a meal. Starting with your morning cup of joe, followed by an awesome curry with rice/roti and ending the day with a warm bowl of soup for dinner would be so comforting and satisfying. That is the reason for this theme being featured this month.

Event Name: ?
Teatime Treats

Hosting Blog:
What Kate Baked

Theme: Jams, Chutneys, Preserves

Start Date: now
Event Deadline:? 28 October 2012

I'd?always?categorized?jam making as something a bit complex, a bit too tricky and filed it away, alongside croquonbouche and Will-n-Kate's wedding cake in the baking folder in my mind labelled 'Far too hard and far too likely to fail'.?

That was until my sister, an excellent Jam maker, showed that, actually, not only is it very possible to make a batch of sticky, sweet, fruity jam but it is an exceedingly pleasurable way to gently pass a couple of hours of an Autumnal evening.

Which is why this month's Tea Time Treats theme is (you've guessed it): Jams, Chutneys & Preserves.

More Than Burnt Toast

Theme: Try a recipe with a blogger friend

Start Date: now

Your assignment, if you choose to accept it, is to "Invite a Blogger to Your Table"! This is a fun event and an outlet for us each to challenge ourselves and create stronger bonds within the blogging community. Nothing is more intimate, or more effective at creating friendships than cooking and sharing meals together, even it is virtually. But hey, if you live in the same area as another blogger what's to stop you from gathering in your own kitchen for this challenge. Choose a dish to prepare and invite 1(one) blogger to create that dish with you. You can source your recipe from a cookbook, magazine, blog or any other source. Your dish can be sweet or savoury; easy or complicated. Decide upon a date that you can both mutually post your recipe within a 4 week time frame.?
