May, 2023 Edition

August, 2023

Welcome to the August edition of bare ingredients

Welcome to the Foodiesite for the month of June! For our Northern Hemisphere readers, it is the height of summer. Long warm days brings al-fresco dining, with picnics and summer dinners outside. It is a great time for foodies, with the abundance of fruit and fresh vegetables making it hard to pick a recipe from so many options.

For our Southern Hemisphere readers, Winter is with us, with shorter days and cold weather. OK, the winter has not been as bad as previous years, given the changes we are seeing in the world's weather, but we can still enjoy stews and curries to keep the season's chills away. Regardless of where you are, Sarah has some great recipe ideas in her Seasonal Recipes Ideas, below.
