Weekend Wokking is a world-wide food blogging event created by Wandering Chopsticks celebrating the multiple ways we can cook one ingredient. Every month the current host gets to pick the secret ingredient for the next round. Last month it was tomato, hosted by Blazing Hot Wok and Darlene chose eggplant for this month. This roundup is very special to me since it is my 100th post! Can't believe I got this far! Thank you everyone who visit and comment, you make me very happy!

ReplyDeleteI love aubergine - and you've got some amazing recipes there! I will have to try a few of them.
ReplyDeleteFoodycat recommended this post to me and I'm so glad she did! Eggplant has been the bane of my cooking this summer! It keeps coming in our CSA box and I keep struggling to make it palatable. Your recipes not only look palatable, but amazing and delicious! I will be trying some of your recipes this week!
