About Us

We’re a food blog who love to share recipes inspired by worldwide travels, eating out and mega home cookery sessions.

I’m sure you enjoy food as much as we do, so why not join in the fun and share some of your recipes with our readers? Or, head on over to our A-Z Index to see what everyone else has shared already, or use the search box below!

Competition: What’s your signature dish?

signature-dish-logo

UPDATE 10/04/12: The standard’s been very high, but we’ve managed to whittle the entries down to two. We’re now going to follow both recipes and make the dishes before choosing a winner. Stay tuned!

Here at foodforfriendsyeah we believe that you, no matter what skill level, have one special dish that you cook really really well. You’ve cooked it so many times over the years, tweaking and perfecting it, that it’s now become your personal Signature Dish. You could probably even cook it with your eyes closed (don’t try this at home)…

Well, now’s the time to share your recipe and enter the biggest competition we’ve ever launched. You have until Midnight March 31st 2012 to share your Signature Dish with us, to win all of the following prizes:

Riverford veg box, meat box and cookbook

riverford-veg-boxYou’ll know from our recent review that we’re big fans of Riverford and their delicious veg boxes. Did you know they now deliver meat as well though? Try both with a medium veg box, “Quick & Easy” meat box and for inspiration, the new Riverford Cookbook. – riverford.co.uk

 

A year’s supply of Kellogg’s Mini Max

      A big thank you for entering with your ouma’s recipe. It makes it all the more special.

      I’m loving the fact you can just knock this up from things in the cupboard. Going to try this recipe for myself for sure!

    Hey guys, this is my entry to your signature dish competition, which i have put up on my blog, Chef Mel’s Kitchen- It’s a delicious and unique take on a risotto- a “Barlotto”- a risotto made with pearl barley instead of rice! This is a delicious dish that uses the best new season British asparagus that we’re getting in the season for right now! Hope you like!
