Welcome to our March edition of bare ingredients.
Welcome to out March edition of bare ingredients. Well, we managed to get through last month's busy schedule, with three mini editions be put out by our hard working team. Our busiest day came on Pancake Day, where at one stage we had over 1,000 readers on line, looking up how to make pancakes.
This month we are no less busy, as we had a very busy St Patrick's Day on the 17th, but there is no rest asGood Friday is on the 21st and the 23rd is Easter Sunday. As always, we will bringing you recipe ideas to help you plan your days in advance. Also, as our regular readers will know, we have our Seasonal Recipe Lists, which can be found on the Recipes page, where you will find both Northern and Southern Hemisphere recipe lists.
We have been lucky to see some of Delia's cookery shows. When we said lucky, we may have been pulling your leg. If you ever wonder why Sarah has no time for the Gourmet Goddess, then her new show, "How to Cheat at Cooking" should make it apparent to all. Not only does she insult Jamie Oliver, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and the greater public about why there should be compassion in farming, i.e., suggesting that stuffing hundreds of chickens in small boxes is good for poor people, she throws away all that makes food good by supporting the mass production of below average food products that are nearly unfit for human comsumption.

The keen eyed ones out there may have noted the new recipe list feature. It is a dynamic list of recipes that are being read now. It will let you see what is popular with the other readers, which can be varied to say the least.
