Well, it has been an amazing year! On New Year’s day, I like to do a roundup of popular recipes, not only because it’s a brand new year, but also to celebrate the anniversary of my blog. I started writing this blog on January 2nd 2010, which makes tomorrow Food & Whine’s 5th anniversary! I’d say that’s pretty special. Thank you to all of you for taking the time to read my ramblings, view my photos of food and children, and try out my recipes. Now, here’s a look back at your favourite recipes from Food & Whine in 2014.
