A calendar for 2009

Hi everyone!

How would you like to help us here at BBC Learning English? We're just about to start designing our new 2009 calendar (here's the link to the 2008 calendar in case you haven't seen it.)

I know you all love talking and hearing about food, so this time we want our calendar to feature recipes for traditional dishes from the countries that you live in.

Are you up for it? Yes? Then this is what you need to do:

Send us:
1) A recipe for a traditional dish. It needs to be something that other people around the world can try to cook, so try to choose something with ingredients that can be bought in other countries too.
2) A photo of the ingredients (or one of the ingredients) or the finished dish

Ingredients

Chocolate cake

3) A photo of you holding what you have cooked

Me and my cake!

4) Your name and the name of the city and country where you live

Last year we had an amazing response from you and I'm sure the same thing will happen this time. Sadly, because there are only 12 months in the year, we won't be able to use all the photos that we receive. However, we'll create a site to showcase as many of the pictures as we can. We will also put the final calendar on our website so that you can download your own copy in December 2008 - a great December gift for friends and families!!!

You need to send your pictures to us by Sunday 12 October to learningenglish@bbc.co.uk and put "2009 recipe calendar" in the subject box.

Please spread the word! We look forward to hearing from you....


Take care

Carrie

Wow Carrie! This is a piece of good news. I love the idea of sharing recipes. You can count on me. By the way, you look great holding that delicious chocolate cake. Yummy................. xxx Cris

It's nice to have a calendar about food from all over the world. I like reading a cookery-book. I read it as if I read a fiction.

Hi Carrie! What a great news! I agree with Cris. You look lovely holding the chocolate cake :-). Yummy!

Hello Carrie, I am definately going to send my recipe too. By the way,this chocolate cake is absolutely fantastic and making my mouth water. Naheed

Hello Carrie, I'll think about some recipes which ingredients might be found anywhere...I hope you've saved a piece of your chocolate cake for me. Bye

Thanks for all your contributions. This blog has now closed and can no longer accept new comments.
