Announcing Creative Concoctions Event

Sharing is caring!


Welcome to Creative Concoctions, a bimonthly food blogging event which will be hosted here at Kopiaste.. to Greek Hospitality.   Anyone who would like to host this event in the future is welcome to host it, so please e-mail me to set a date.

Each fortnight the host will invite bloggers around the world to submit an original recipe, sometimes it may have a theme and sometimes it will be general.

There are a lot of talented foodies around us, so this event is all about showing our creative concoctions, which means your own culinary delicious creations:  it could be a recipe you have invented or a recipe you have copied but in the end you have made it your own by adding your personal touch with other ingredients, spices, method etc.

This event mainly wants to encourage foodies, who for one reason or another have never tried to create a recipe by themselves but only copy recipes from friends, family, cookbooks and other blogs. There’s nothing wrong about that but there’s no fun either.  You need to have the courage to try something new and different and I can assure you that it’s not as hard as you may think.

If you have never created an original recipe, start with something simple, such as your mum’s roast or stew or your favourite cake, etc.  Try making it with a different flavour or other spices.   Each culture has soups, stew recipes, cakes etc., but what makes it unique are the different flavours or spices used.  Get out of your comfort zone and try something new for a change  but always using ingredients  and spices you like.   In the end, the final result will be yours and will be greatly rewarding and satisfying.   My advice would be to read a lot of recipes and learn the technique of the recipe.   Then it’s easy to start building on that recipe.  Think of all the people who are vegan or gluten intolerant or diabetic or just want a healthy lifestyle.  The necessity has made them creative by substituting the ingredients.

Each event may have different  rules, so please read the rules of each event, as they are posted.

 

Here are the rules for the first event :
