Weekend Herb Blogging #263 - Round-Up

This week we play host to Weekend Herb Blogging. Been a crazy week with all the technology stuff failing on me. Missing emails and crashing firmware... lucky enough the WHB entries were all retained. (or were they?) Hmm...


First up we have Brii  Valsorda - Garda lake -Italy, with her lovely Lussekatter - St Lucia Buns 

Very interesting custom in Scandinavia. I always love the story behind our (traditional food fare). Simple to make and must be very tasty from the looks of it! Why not bring a taste of Scandinavia (and tradition) to your home this Christmas?


Next up is Haalo with Black Lentils and Speck Crostini.

Flavourful lentils paired with speck (what's this? Read Haalo's entry!) is definitely a great match! I love the suggestion of having an layer of goat cheese. Definitely will taste awesome.

Cinzia from Cindystar has a Sparkling Happy Holidays cocktail to tickle our palate as we welcome the festive season!

Cindy included an interesting write up on promengranate and included a quick recipe to this drink. Promengranate happens to be my favourite fruit of 2010... and I will cheers to that.... with this sparkling cocktail!


Anh from A food lover's journey, Melbourne, Australia, brought to us Poached stone fruits with jasmine and chrysamthemum flowers.

Colourful and I believe totally flavourful with all the fruits and flowers combined together. Love the cheerful outlook that this drink brings and I am sure the fruity and floral essence will perk up your day too!

 Yasmeen Healthnut from Ohio, USA brings to us Cranberry Upma.

Yasmeen shares her insights on cranberries and some of her favourite dishes and variations of how to prepare the berry! Very enlightening indeed! A South Indian dish with cranberries? There you go! Fusion at it's Christmas best. 

And last but not least, Janet from Toronto, Canada present to us, African Sweet Potato and Peanut Stew.

African cuisine with a touch of creativity! Janet shares some tips in whipping this unique dish.
