I was last week's host for Weekend Herb Blogging, brain child of Kalyn (Kalyn's Kitchen). It was great fun and a pleasure. By the end of sunday I had 24 entries from foodies all over the world. Here we go for the recap!

• Sally over at Aprovechar presents a delicious Roasted Winter Vegetable & Goat Cheese Pizza Topping - made with a gluten-free pizza crust.
• Kaykat, creator of "Cooking from A to Z", from Seattle surprises us with a Podalanga curry and Dahi Shorba. It's recipe she found in a postcard cookbook.

• Gattina of Kitchen Unplugged from Barcelona in Spain presents a beautifully coloured Mircowaved Avocado & Fish Cake.

• Tami of running with tweezers in Atlanta/Giorgia prepared Edamole for us. I have to admit that I had to look up the ingredient "Edamame" which is simply a soy bean.

• Scott over at Real Epicurean has an interesseting polish recipe for pickled cucumbers for us: Og?rki Kiszone

• From Wandering Chopsticks in Southern California we get a very healthy drink: Nuoc Rau Ma (Vietnamese Pennywort Juice). And we learn that "Nuoc Rau Ma" was already popular in Vietnam long before we discovered the benefits of wheatgrass juice.

  Pumpkin, sage and capers risotto.

• A scientist in the kitchen has a real star for us this week: star anise! Chicken neck braised in star anise is a chinese recipe.

• Kalyn, Mrs. Weekend Herb Blogging from Kalyn's Kitchen herself, prepared the Foil-baked Salmon with Basil Pesto and Tomatoes even twice for us - just to get a good photo. I think it was worth it.

Hope you all enjoy the beautiful recipes from all over the world!
