Feasting on Art

Hello Friends! I made it, one year blogging! I had a really great time reading all of the entries and am so impressed with the creativity inspired by the Renoir painting. I want to thank you all so much for participating and helping me celebrate the first year of a project that is very dear to my heart. I particularly enjoy the dialogue fostered by this site and it is so exciting to see the conversation continue onto other blogs and in other entries.

Hello friends!! On April 3rd Feasting on Art will be one year old! I am very proud of this site and to celebrate I am holding a recipe competition. To perpetuate the dialogue about food and art I want to get all of my readers involved so don’t be shy, even if you’ve never left a comment please participate! The very first painting I posted here was a still life by Renoir and it seemed only appropriate to post another of his paintings a year later. I chose a still life that could be adapted to either a sweet or savory recipe, see my posts for Strawberry BBQ Pulled Pork, Strawberry Shortcake, and Berry Vlaai for inspiration. I know that many of you are in the middle of winter so feel free to use frozen strawberries, strawberry jam or even a flavored liquor or vodka in your recipes. Also don’t assume strawberries have to be the central ingredient, you could make a lot of interesting things with lemon using strawberry as an accompaniment. You can find the contest and prize details below.
