SnackShots #6: Sandwich
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Personally, I’ve never met anyone who hasn’t eaten a sandwich. We all have to agree that it is one of the most versatile creations of the culinary world. Eaten around the clock all over the world, sandwiches are sent off with school children, packed in lunchboxes for work and the most famous chain store of […]
SnackShots #4: Salad - Winners
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008After sitting nailed in front of the TV for almost 5 hours, I was slightly dismayed. I was rooting for Roger Federer to win his 6th consecutive Wimbledon title and set a new world record and in effect beating Borg. But oh dear, after an epic battle he bit the dust and Rafael Nadal came […]
SnackShots #4: Salad - Roundup
Saturday, June 28th, 2008At last all the salad entries are up and I’m sure you will find something if not a lot of recipes that will catch your eye.
Round #3’s Word4Word winner and one of round #4’s judges, Susan of Food Blogga, kindly submitted this Watercress, Avocado, and Orange Salad and wrote a very informative piece on […]
SnackShots #5: Meringue
Monday, June 23rd, 2008Crunchy, crispy, soft, sticky and sweet. These are just a few words that come to mind when I think of meringues. With summer in full swing in the northern hemisphere we are looking for some light and refreshing desserts and what better way to celebrate the season than with meringues. If you don’t know how […]
SnackShots #3: Muffin - Winners
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008After scoring each entry in various categories the judges (Jeanne from Cook Sister and Rita from Mochachocolata-Rita) are kaput and the results are in. To be honest the closer I got to finding out the winners, the giddier I began to feel with anticipation. There were a lot of entries and the competition sure was […]
SnackShots #3: Muffin - Roundup
Monday, May 19th, 2008Wow! What a lot of entries I received this month! Each and every muffin looks fantastically good and it must have been heaven for the bakers to sink their teeth into their warm-and-fresh-out-of-the-oven goodies. Before we get down to business, I’d like you to view the previous winners’ muffins.
The Word4Word winner, Jeanne from Cook Sister, […]
SnackShots #4: Salad
Monday, May 12th, 2008At last summer has arrived here in the UK and what better reason to celebrate than with a crispy, cool salad. Salads definitely top the list of the dish that is easy and quick to prepare and healthy. Whether it is leafy green to-do, starchy pasta or potato salad, meaty or fishy or warm or […]

Last month’s winners, Pete from This Edible Life, who won the first Word4Word award, and Gretchen from Canela & Comino, who won the overall photography section last month, as well as myself were the judges this time round.

SnackShots #3: Muffin
Monday, April 7th, 2008Switch on your cookers, set up your mixers and slide on your oven mitts; we’re baking this month at SnackShots! The beauty of the humble muffin is that it’s so versatile and almost any ingredient is agreeable with the baked bun; from pumpkin and fresh fruit to chocolate chips. It’s a very creative theme this […]
SnackShots #2: Leek - Roundup
Saturday, April 5th, 2008This month’s subject was a bit more challenging than the potato last month. Afterwards I only realised dishes that contain +50% leeks are a rarity. No worries, instead more of the entries concentrated on the beauty of these jumbo spring onions. If you’re looking for some inspiration for how to use leeks, look no further […]
SnackShots #1: Potato - Winners
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008You may have noticed that there are loads, more like tons, of food challenges in the blogosphere every month. Whether they are just plain roundups or full-blown competitions, they have more or less one thing in common: photography. More likely than not the blogger who submits the most delicious and drool-worthy photo usually wins. Granted, […]
SnackShots #2: Leek
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008On the 1st of March Wales celebrates St David’s Day in remembrance of the death of Saint David who died on 1 March 589. Every year a huge parade is held in Cardiff and it sure looks like something to behold. Wales has two national emblems: the daffodil and leek. As pretty as the yellow […]
