It's #CookBlogShare time again on Recipes Made Easy. I honestly thought picking recipes would get easier after a couple of times. Last week over 30 recipes were linked up for me to choose from, and picking four for a round up is proving so difficult yet again.
Seriously, if you haven't already, take at look #CookBlogShare week 23. See what I mean! So much to choose from. I really want to try Only Crumbs Remains Strawberry Basil Upside Down Cake because it looks scrumptious and I've got a bit of a thing for basil in sweet dishes at the moment. Have you tried my Basil Ice Cream?
Trust me, it is really good. I also have a couple more sweet recipes with basil in them which I want to share with you soon.
After a while I saw a bit of a theme emerging on some of the recipes linked : Spice! So I am opting to share four Spicy recipes from last weeks link up.
Four Spice and Easy Recipes
Homemade Harissa
I love Harissa. Its a flavour I'm using more and more often. Up until now I have always bought little jars of Harrissa, but now I'm going to have to have a go at making my own. Thanks to The Not So Creative Cook sharing her recipe for Homemade Harissa. I really can't wait to try it.
Ras-el-hanout Chicken with Spicy Couscous
Ras-el-Hanout is another favourite flavour of mine and, as you know, I like my recipes to be quick, easy, and tasty. So this Ras-el-hanout Chicken with Spicy Couscous by Lost In Food ticks all the boxes for me.
VEGAN THAI MASSAMAN CURRY
Nico from Yumsome is so well travelled. She has lived in over 51 places around the world and her travels influence her cooking. This Vegan Thai Massaman Curry looks, well, totally Yum! After reading her post I have serious veggie patch envy.
Sudanese Sweet Potato, spinach and Peanut Stew
My final choice was from Sneaky Veg Sudanese Sweet Potato, Spinach and Peanut Stew . This is the last recipe in Mandy's Food for Thought themed posts. This stew really appealed to me as it looks so rich and tasty. I am quite sure even my meat loving boys would be very happy to eat this.
Tracey

Jacqueline Bellefontaine
Thanks Corina I particularly like the look of the res el hanout chicken, although they are all great sounding recipes.
Eb Gargano | Easy Peasy Foodie
Delicious roundup - I want to eat them all! It's really tough to just pick 4 from the scrumptious selection we get each week, isn't it? Eb x
Jacqueline Bellefontaine
It sure is! I look for a theme but this week i could have easily added more including yours so I still had to make a really hard choice. I really liked the look of your Oven Baked Chicken Shawarma too
Angela / Only Crumbs Remain
I really don't envy you having to pick just 4 dishes from a cluster of over 30 scrummy recipes Jacqueline! I can just imagine how difficult it is! I have to say I'm loving the sound of Mandy's Sudanese stew & Nico's Thai curry looks so fresh.
Thankyou too for mentioning my strawberry upside down cake 🙂

Jacqueline Bellefontaine
I couldn't not mention your strawberry upside down cake . I don't think I got time last week to pop over and comment on your post. Sorry I have been a very slack recently, but I shall definitely be trying it.
