Welcome to the February edition of bare ingredients
Welcome to the Foodiesite for the month of February! For our Northern Hemisphere readers, February feels like the coldest month, where warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves infuse comforting recipes like soups, stews, and desserts with their enticing aromas. It's the perfect time to indulge in flavoursome comfort foods that embrace those cold days.
For our Southern Hemisphere readers, February brings the last of the summer crops. Local markets are packed with colourful fruits, veggies, and herbs. From strawberries and mangos to asparagus and greens, the summer season offers an abundance of ingredients. With the Summer weather, lighter and more refreshing dishes, such as salads, herb-infused sauces, and grilled seafood, are popular.
