My friend, Angela of the beautiful Spinach Tiger blog, lost a brother and a very close cousin to the scourge of Aids. She wrote an exquisite and heartfelt piece (read post) about why she started ‘cooking red to remember‘ for World Aids Day (December 1) in 2009 when I first participated with a pasta and red pepper dish.
When Angela contacted me this week to let me know she was doing it again, I immediately said “I’m in”. Although I have not been touched personally by Aids, I’m honored to show my support to the ungodly number of people and families who have suffered great loss.
Instead of creating a new dish, I decided to highlight some food photos that have appeared on FOODalogue. Red is a very popular color around here. Here’s just a sampling:
Strawberries Soaked in Sambucca
Gazpacho
Red Fish and Red Corn Salsa
Salmon Burger and Red Cabbage Slaw
Roasting Tomatoes
Crispy Salami
Watermelon Soup with Cilantro Oil Drizzle
Choripan (chorizo sandwich)
Shrimp with Spaghetti and Red Lentils
Red Plum and Radicchio Salad
Salmon and Curried Red Lentils
Salmon Ceviche in a Watermelon Cup
Peach + Tomato Salad
Skillet Salmon
Pimento Baked Egg Cup
