What food matches your mood?

May 27, 2011 by Katie Bryson

Generally the food I make very much reflects the time of year, I’ll use ingredients that are in season in a recipe that fits the weather. However it can also depend what mood I’m in.

If I’m rushed off my feet then the food will be simple with much corner-cutting involved like these little tomato, ham and ricotto tarts.

If I’m in a sociable mood and feeding a crowd, or just want to lift everyone’s spirits then it’s this warming Beef and Dark Ale casserole that is a winner every time.

The team at Tesco Real Food want to find out what recipes fit your moods and are running a cool competition to find the absolute best of the bunch. There are some great prizes up for grabs like cameras and spa breaks and even the chance to appear in a TV show.

They’ve very kindly asked me to help with the judging, so I thought I’d give the comp a bit of a shout-out here so you can get thinking about your favourite recipes.

The categories are:

  • Breakfast on the go
  • Date night dinners
  • Family favourites
  • Heartbreak healers
  • Me-time meals
  • More than four
  • Take-away at home
  • Talk and fork

Good luck with your entries and watch this space for updates on how the competition is going…

    All sounds very interesting, but I would have to agree with you. It’s not just the ingredients of the season but also the mood you are in. 🙂

Beautiful little book the audience were all given Beautiful little book the audience were all given at last night’s performance of #Here from @curious.monkey_ at @northern_stage. Such a powerful performance from the talented cast bringing together individual stories of what it means to seek sanctuary in the North East, the friendships that are forged and the spark of hope that refuses to be snuffed out. With the plight of refugees so visible right now,  the timing of this performance was impeccable. #RefugeesWelcome #togetherwithrefugees🧡 #StoryCollectors
