Farewell Floyd: The Round-up

James and I have had such a hard time choosing three winning entries from all the fantastic ones that came in for our tribute to Keith Floyd, the ‘Farewell Floyd’ food blogging event. We asked you to cook a classic or adapted Floyd recipe or a recipe of your own design inspired by Keith Floyd. Here’s a round-up of all the posts:

‘White Onion Soup – A tribute to Keith Floyd’ from Annes Kitchen

    That goat feast is amazing! I would have been terribly upset had that not been in the list of winners.

    Congrats to Foodycat and Giles also.

    And what a heavyweight roundup! Can't wait to try many of these recipes.

    I loved Keith Floyd…watchin him cook on his travels was always so much fun. I have a little book he wrote on Thai recipes ( a penguin mini classic) – I've treasured it for over a decade and learnt to make curry pastes from it. I wish I knew about this event. Oh well, great tribute to the man
