Less is More: The Round-up!

(Update in April 2023: I went through the post and removed all the broken links. Alas, many blogs no longer exist)

A couple of years ago, blogger Coffee started the Monthly Blog Patrol as a way for food bloggers to cook and learn from each other's recipes. This month, 64 bloggers from all over the world took up a challenge: choose a recipe that has five ingredients or fewer and show us how less is more!

Based on the entries that I have received, I have organized the round-up in a few different categories: you can grab a hot or cold beverage to begin with, and proceed to look at a delicious list of breads, condiments, small meals and entrees, vegetables and desserts, all made using only a handful of ingredients.

  117. Dear Nupur,

    I know, I haven't tried everything or even most of the things listed on the hot stove, but I still miss not seeing any new posts!

    Hope all is well, and the blogging will resume some time soon. Perhaps with the new year (Gudhi Padwa), you might choose to come back to the hot stove!

    Best Regards.
