Bookmarked Recipes 2

Here's the second round up of of Bookmarked Recipes and this week we have some more great recipes from some more great bloggers:



Ryan from Ryan's Recipe Blog in the UK made a favourite of mine: American Pancakes topped off with bananas and strawberry jam which he had seen made on Ready Steady Cook.



Ricki from Toronto, Canada from Diet, Dessert and Dogs made a beautiful and delicious looking Mock Green Papaya Salad from Vegetarian Times Magazine.



Nilmandra from Soy and Pepper, also based in the UK, made what looks like a very elegant and tasty dish: Smoked Salmon and New Potatoes with lemon crème fraîche that she saw on "Jamie at Home".



Ohiomom, based in Cleveland Ohio, from Cooking in Cleveland made a beautiful Coconut butter pecan pound cake from "Pillsbury - The Complete Book of Baking".



Shira from Petit Pois made some Fennel braised with Thyme and Black Olives which is adapted from Molly Stevens' All About Braising and includes some new fresh garlic in the dish.



Dell of Cooking and the City from Melbourne, Australia joined the round up again with a fantastic Madeira Cake recipe she found on the BBC website by James Martin.



Finally, my own contribution, which shows that Dell and I were on the same train of thought this week: lemon madeira cake as my birthday cake!

It's the official first round up of Bookmarked Recipes and we have some fantastic dishes to kick it all off:



Sarah from Homemade created a delicious Butternut Squash and Goats Cheese pizza from Williams-Sonoma Main Dishes. I love butternut squash and I love pizza so this is a winner for me!

Miss Bliss of Frolicking Foodie in England submitted a Chicken Rogan Josh she found in her "One Pot" book which is making me crave some Indian now even though I had some at the weekend!

Bookmarked Recipes - A Blog Event

I posted on Monday about a new feature I was going to have on the blog called Magazine Mondays where I would blog about a recipe that I had wanted to try from any of the food magazines I read. I had only planned it as a way of trying to get through all those recipes I had been meaning to try and to also to unfold some of the corners in my magazines, however there were a few comments from people saying they'd like to do the same. It got me thinking there must be a blog event in this. I know I had mentioned about plans for a new blog event but this isn't it... I'll put that one on the backburner for now and announce this one to you.

Introducing.......
