A lot happened at Pebble Soup HQ's in May, the best news being that more and more of you are reading the tribulations and recipes of its participants. The best loved posts, this past month, came from two different angles. the interview with Paul Hollywood at the Vintage Inn summer cake party was one and the campaign for an unusual spring ingredient: Turkey was the other. May give-away has not been forgotten and will be posted tonight, so please do come back for a visit later.
But before you go, I'd like to fast forward a little to June. At the beginning of the month, I will be hosting Fabulicious' event : Family friendly Fridays so I thought that I would talk the talk, walk the plank, wave my rolling pin, in one word that I would enter May's round up hosted by Clare at The Vegetarian Experience. I chose an easy dish, quick to make it can be adapted to the all sort of eaters from fussy to sophisticated, all in all "a good one for a family".
