#WCFC2014

The World Cup Food Challenge 2014

As part of the "crack team of food bloggers" that are participating in The World Cup Food Challenge, my mission (delightedly accepted) was to create a recipe for each of the 4 countries in my group (Group G: Germany, Portugal, Ghana and America) during the group stage (12th - 26th of June) and then during the remaining stages of the tournament, create a recipe for a national dish, every time one of my countries plays.

I will be logging my progress here, with the recipes following my usual format (because OCD!) rather than create new link categories. You can follow us via the #WCFC2014 hashtag, or if you wish, I have created a list for the participating bloggers. Because we do sometimes tweet about other things than food. Sometimes.
