It’s February which is a month of food-related celebration – it’s Chinese new year, Shrove Tuesday, Mardi Gras or the German equivalent Fasching and of course Valentine’s Day. That should give you plenty of scope for entries for Alphabakes this month, particularly because the letter chosen by our random letter generator is V!
All I would ask is that you limit yourself to no more than two Valentine’s entries and then you can enter any other V-related recipes or ingredients as well (so you can have more than two entries in total). And no, that’s not just vanilla… think vacherin cheese, vegetable stock, indeed vegetables altogether, vermicelli, vodka, vinegar…. There are more V ingredients than you might at first think! Having said that it would be lovely to see your Valentine’s bakes as well, whether that’s something you’ve made for a loved one, or a solo dessert to console yourself if you’re single (there’s no shame in baking yourself a cake!).
