Notice: Please try to post your IWD entry on March 8. The idea is, that on IWD all over the blogosphere will pop up Yellow recipes. Thank you.

fiordisale asked me to organize with her a special event for International Women's Day. March 8 is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women.

We don't want to celebrate the political way, instead we would like to invite you to prepare some food. Food connects people, so we would like to invite you to cook or bake something yellow for this special day. Yellow because on this day in Southern countries there is the tradition to give sprigs of bright yellow Mimosa flowers to women. The flowers are intended as a sign of respect and also an expression of solidarity with the women in their support for oppressed women worldwide.

So this year, instead of the Mimosa sprigs, we will make yellow food! It can be whatever you like: pasta, meat, fish, fingerfood or a whole menu as long as it is yellow.

We are looking forward to see your recipes!

How to participate:

Cook/bake something yellow, take pictures (if possible) and blog about it on Saturday, 8th March 2008
(feel free to write your post in your mother tongue)

Send an email to kochtopf(at)gmail(dot)com or fiordisale(at)gmail(dot)com including

Don't forget to link back to one of the annoucements.
