My Legume Love Affair #31: the roundup (part two) 1
To facilitate reading, I have divided the submissions I have received into two sets. The roundup of My Legume Love Affair #31 started in this post and continues here.
Make yourself comfortable, then follow me on a journey of flavors, colors, traditions and culinary creativity. For each submission, I will give you the official information (author, blog name and post title) and a one-line description that summarizes it.
If reading about all these great recipes has inspired you and you would like to participate, My Legume Love Affair #32 just started and is hosted by Sandy of Sandhya's Kitchen. The deadline for submitting of your legume dish is February 28. You can always find out who is hosting on this page.

Susan will contact the lucky winner to arrange the shipment.
Thank you so much to all who participated and made this edition of MLLA a success!
I believe all the submissions I have received are presented in the roundup. However, mishaps are part of life, so if you find anything missing or in need of amendment anywhere in the roundup, please do let me know.
1 A note about the title of my post: legumi che passione! is not the literal translation, but my personal rendition of the original My Legume Love Affair.
